Student school bus drivers, when compared with adult drivers, are both efficient and safe, a State Education commission group has found The report, prepared by the pupil transportation committee of which J. J. Tarlton, of Ruth fordton, is chairman, includes a table comparing student bus drivers with adult drivers. The table shows that over a five year period an average of more than 83 per cent Qf school bus drivers have been high school boys and girls, and that they have Deen responsible for only about 75 per cent of school bus accidents. Tjie report says: "Although school boys and girls have been driving most oi the school buses in North Caro lina for more than 15 years, a good part of the public is not yet convinced that they are as good drivers as adults. "In the opinion poll conduct ed In connection with the edu cation survey, approximately one-half of the citizens who answered this question stated that they thought adults were better bus drivers than high school boys and girls. There was no such division of opinion, however, among the superinten dents who supervise the trans portation program In North Car olina.". More than two-thirds of the superintendents who replied to the questionnaire stated that high school boys and girls are more satisfactory bus drivers than the adults who are avail able. The report says that the use of student drivers has been a "very great factor" In achiev ing the state's record for ec onomy In pupil transportation. "Those students have an ex cellent record In safe driving and a quite satisfactory record otherwise. The standards for school bus drivers seem to be adequate, except for the lack of u requirement that they pass a physical examination." The report shows that the State transports daily to and from school approximately 347, 000 pupils, at a cost of )14 per pupil. This Is the lowest per pupil cost (or all of the 48 states. One reason Is that North Caro lina pays its student driven only $20 per month, with occasional local supplements.
