SchooIhouses On Wheels

IN THE bleak sandhills country
of Nebraska hundreds Of happy
children are now going to
school in trallers.
Ever since the dust storms and
the drouth galloped across the
Western plains leaving chaos and
ruin TO property, the sparsely
settled remaining ranchers, who
refused TO migrate TO California,
have been faced with the serious
problem Of educating their chill
dren. Right now, the population
in some counties averages at
best less than two persons per
square mile. Most county seat
Atowns have a population under
BOO persons, and 1t is impossible
for small children to drive from
10 to Is miles to school during
the bitter cold Winter weather.
Three years ago. Mr.. and Mrs.
Carroll Mahoney Of North Platte,
Nebraska, suggested TO the anX-
ious school board that they buy
a trailer and move the school TO
the children. The first trailer
school was purchased from a
used car dealer in North Platte,
