Rules of the
Road . . .
POLICE AND FIRE VEHICLES
Sec. 119, Motor Vehicle Laws of
North Carolina?"(a) Upon the ap
proach of any police or fire depart
ment vehicle giving audible signal
by bell, siren or exhaust whistle,
the driver of every other vehicle
shall immediately drive the same
to a position as near as possible and
parallel to the right hand edge or
curb, clear of any intersection of
highways, and shall stop and remain
in such position unless otherwise di
rected by a police or traffic officer
until the police or fire department
vehicle shall have passed.
"(b) It shall be unlawful for the
driver of any vehicle other than
one on official business to follow
any fire apparatus traveling in re
sponse to a fire alarm closer than
one block or to drive into or park
such vehicle within one block
where fire apparatus has stopped in
answer to a fire alarm."
In other words, when a police car
or fire truck approaches you with
its bell or siren sounding, pull over
to the right as far as you can and
stop and wait for it to pass. If you
are following a fire truck, stay at
least - a block behind it and park
your vehicle at least a block away
from where the fire apparatus stops.
COASTING
Sec. 127, Motor Vehicle Laws of
North Carolina?"The driver of a
motor vehicle when* traveling upon
down grade upon any highway
shall not coast with the gears of such
vehicle in neutral."
This is self-explanatory. Motor
vehicles are forbidden to coast on
the highway.

Wiley, As State School Superintend-<
ent. Tried To Drive Bad Books \
From the Schools . . .
Calvin H. Wiley was a "fust." He
was first to be elected to fill the of
fice of state superintendent of
schools.
Elected to this position in Decem
ber. 1852. Wiley was assigned a task I
for which the entire Literary Board |
had been an inadequate executive.
What this education board had fail
ed to accomplish, one man. by the I
duties of his newly created office,]
was required to do.
Education and internal improve
ments in North Carolina were so fa~r I
behind the times, that native and ]
foreign writers used the familiar so
briquet. "Old Hip." to emphasize the
condition which existed prior to the
Civil War. People everywhere are
acquainted with the fact that Rip
Van Winkle awoke after a long nap
and found himself twenty years be
hind the times.
Wiley observed and reported:
"North Carolina is considered by |
bookmakers the best mart in the
world for uncurrent and trashy pro-1
ductions." The citizenship of the
State should have felt a deep ombar-1
rassment that any one should feel |
justified m saying "the very refuse
of literary quackery is sent out |
h. r.' m.l riri'iil:?t??d ;inmnf our pi?n
ple." The superintendent's answer |
was "universal education."
A "first" task for the "first" sup-1
ermtendont, ho said, was "todrtvt
from our Schools bad books." When |
suitable textbooks were not avail
able. he prepared them. Wiley's
North Carolina Header is familiar to
many (Citizens of the State who at
tended school long ago. Geographies
were so inaccurate that publishers
were notified that none would be
i used unless corrections of the text
concerning North Carolina were per
mitted.
Wiley's greatest triumph was his
success when he went before the
Civil War legislature to fight the
school's battle. During the war, the
schools were kept open. This was a
direct result of the energy, zeal and
leadership of the superintendent, for
he failed to yield in face of discour
agement and opposition. Of course,
the schools felt the strain of war, but
Calvin Henderson Wiley was in his
office in the capitol when General
Joseph E Johnson surrendered to
Sherman April 2li, 1805.
Following the fall of the Confed
eracy, all state offices were declar
ed vacant. Education lost Wiley; and
then came the collapse of the state
school system.
The "wonder grows" why more of
our public schools do not bear the
name of the man who gave so freely
the use of his talents for the estab
lishment of a sound educational pro
gram for the boys and girls of
North Carolina.
