SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS

With the increasing number OF con-
solidated schools throughout the country
the school bus has become an important
transportation necessity, carrying many
thousands of children daily.
1t is impossible to emphasize too
strongly the need for highly competent ana
careful drivers for these vehicles, 1t is
great responsibility to be entrusted with the
lives of these children and no one should
no emploved as a driver who does rot fully
realize that responsibility and possess the
Qualifications TO insure their safety.
Immature or irresponsible persons
have no business driving a school bus, as
many deplorable tragedies have demon
strated in the past. 1t should be rigid re-
o,li,amapt that drivers must come TO full
Ston before crossing a railroad track. A
fajlure 10 observe this rule has cost many
lives and may cost many more. Excessive
speed should rot be tolerated and any dis
regard of safety precautions should be foI-
lowed by a prompt dismissal Of the Offend
ing driver.
School authorities are primarily re-
sponsible for the competency of the drivers
they employ. and unless they investigate
carefully each applicant and keep q watch
ON his performances they are guilty OF gross
negligence toward the children whose
safety is in their keeping.

CHURCHES AND CABLING

Key West churches, Uncommon with
churches throughout the void, have for
years deplored and condemned gambling.
The local churches and their MEMBERS have
been Mortified by the numer OF open
gambling establishments in By West.
1t is surprising, therefor, that Key
West churches in particular, md churches
in general, have done so littl about the
condition they abhor.
They might attack the roblem from
either Of two sides.
First, the most obvious wy to rid the
city of gambling would be 70 the various
churches to pool their strengt, since they
are agreed on the subject, AM use their
votes as political force to driv county and
CITY officials into action. Aftr all, deter
mined groups of people have won much
harder campaigns without tn, assistance
of the laws which favor , drive on
gambling.
The second method, whip might be
combined with the first, woultpe Tor the
churches to wage an active cmpalgn 10
provide entertainment and tvs remove
some of the incentive to gamble people, as
a class, don't gamble because tY expect 70

FIRST CONGRESSIONAL

Or March A, 1917, more nan three
wears before nationwide suffrage was
given to women by constitution amend
ment. Miss Jeanette Rankin beanie the
first woman member of Congressatter her
election as Representative from he FIRST
District of Wyoming. Her state ad glVer
women the ballot in 1914.
She was defeated for reelectln, large
lv because she voted against declaration
of war on Germany, being one ofonly SIX
members of the House to oppose tat step.
This year she returned to Congress liter an
absence of 22 years, and it is possible that
she may again be confronted by be same
question before her present term eplres.
Miss Rankin, now 60, has dvoted a
large part of her life to two causes-woman
suffrage and peace. The first was VIC
toricus when the 10Th Amendment to the
Constitution was ratified in 1920 ana since
then she served for several years as leglS-
lative secretary in Washington for the Ma
tional Council for the Preventionof war; III
which her efforts were less successful.
She is not strictly pacifist, as she De
lieves in a strong national defense, but she
is opposed to going to war unlesIthe Oniteo
States is actually invaded by a hostile ma
ton. She also favors national referendum
before declaration of war.
No one questions her sincerity OF her
patriotism, but it is likely that she Will be
with the minority on matters of foreign
policy in the present Congress, as she was "a
.-1E
years ago.
