Bearing the legend; "Alamance County Schools," the first motor truck, or motor omnibus, purchased by the County Board of Education, was on exhibition here Tuesday. It is to be used where a consolidation of small school districts has been ef fected to convey the children living remotely from the central school to school. If the experiment proves successful, aa it has in many States and several counties in this State, that is, the consolidation of smaller dietricte and having a central school for them with mora grades and more teachers, thiff truck will be bat the forerunner to giving children in the rural districts the advantage of bet ter schools and longer terms. The truck the Board has will seat thirty children, more than the avenge school averages in attendance in the roral districts, and as many mora as can crowd in. We said "experiment" above, which ,truly it is so far as Alamance is oancerned. A "new thing," if you please. Automobiles are new things, but they are here in abundance and have come to stay. If a new thing is a good thing, then the sensible thing to do is to acoept and adopt the new thing. To ns the biggest hindrance to the adoption of the motor school truck for the purpose indicated above is the condition of the country roads. The school truck followed the Bank head Highway convoy Tuesday with a banner bearing the words, "Good roads mean good schools," which was entirely appropriate and very suggsstive under the circumstances. This is a live subject to whieh we shall from time to time make some reference. Graham People at Beepftal. Last Friday several Graham peo ple were at a Greenaboro hospital for minor operationa.
