School Truck.
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.
