Twelve hundred school trucks car
rying 48,601 rural school children
travel more than the distance around
me worm every uay in we wees, au
cording to figures given out by Su
perintendent A. T. Allen in connection
with his report of the distribution of
the $30,000 provided by the State for
aid In transportation to weaker coun
ties.
So rapidly has the consolidation of
rural schools progressed under Mr.
Allen's plans for eventual county-
wide organisation that during the year
the number of trucks used in trans
porting pupils has increased from 858
to 1,278 and the number of children
transported to and from school from
31,544 to 48,601. Mr. Allen regards the
increase as indicative of splendid
growth.
In the 68 counties that depend in
part upon the State for maintenance
of their schools the 711 trucks a total
of 14,118 miles daily, carrying a total
of 25,277 school children to school and
back. In 32 counties that pay their
own way, 567 trucks travel a total oi
11,340 miles dally, carrying 23,324.
The total mileage made by, the 1,278
trucks every school day is 25,458,
In a year's term of 120 days the
school trucks in use In the State cover
a total of 3,059,900 miles and carry ft
total passenger list of 5,832,120 school
children to and from school, or figured
on the basis that railroads compute
their gross passenger traffic, 11,664.-
240 passengers. With the exception
of a minor accident, the number has
been carried without injury.
Distribution of the State's aid fund
of $30,000 le made on the basis of ton
mile, truck mile, and pupil miles, and
the three averaged up. The cost fig
ured out is $1.61 per ton mile, $2.14
per truck mile and $1.18 per pupil
transported. '

Villenage
VUlenage was a system of land ten
ure Introduced Into England after the
Norman Conquest (1066 A. D.) where

permitted to hold land only on condi
tion of performing , menial service for
their lord and superior. Such persons
were called villeins (of. or pertaining
to the will); whence Is derived the
common English word villain. Vil
lenage, although never formally abol

the Sixteenth century. ,

THE STORY!
People throughout this country are
giving more thought to hygiene and to
the purity of remedies on the market,
but no one doubts the purity of Doctor
Pierce's vegetable medicines, for they ,
have been so favorably known for over
fifty years that everyone knows they are
just what they are claimed to be. These
medicines are (he result of long research
by a well-known physician, R. V. Pieroe,
M. D., who compounded them from
health-giving herbs and roots long used
in sickness by the Indians. Dr. Pieroe's
reputation as a leading and honored
citizen of Buffalo, is a sufficient guaran
tee for the purity of that splendid tonla
and blood medicine, the Golden Medical
Discovery, and the equally fine nerve
tonio and system builder for women's
ailments, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrio-
tion. Send 10c for trial pkg. tablets to
