SUGGESTIONS TO SCHU PINTS New York Parent-Tearhers Instruc tions Tassed To Patrons Of Shelby Schools. The Parent-Teacher assocliUons Of greater New York have set up some suggestions to parents that would b^ equally valuable In Shelc by. I am passing them on ip the hope that you will be helped by them. They follow: Arrange the breakfast and lunch hours so that there is no rushing at home or to school. Encourage punctuality and regular attendance, no* permitting trifles to interfere. See that the children are dressed simply, neatly, modestly, and suit ably in accordance with the weath er. Insist upon children under four teen having at least ten hours' sleep. find out how much time shouIJ he devoted to home work and see that It Is dons. provide * quiet place for homo Itudy, with good light and ventlla wmp WANT'TO 1 ::*"i know j . , 'hnytHfog about gas quality and purity you’ll find SIN CLAIR gas and OPALINE oil an open book. The su periority of these products has established for them a reputation that has never been challenged. Always ask for SINCLAIR OPALINE oil to fpl tion. Prevent Interruptions as far as j possible. Show an Interest in the children’s school work, athletics, and other activities. Visit the classroom during: Aw ican education week, and at ather times, for a better understanding of conditions. Do not criticize the teachers or school at all within the children’s^ hearing. Always hear both sides of every question and ask the teacher about it. Instill in the children habits of obedience and respect for author ity. Picture the school as a nappy, desirable place, rather than as one children should dread. Keep in mind that the schools offer unlimited opportunities ic those who take advantage of them parents as well as pupils. Plan to meet other parents in the school. It will help you understand your children better. Mothers should arouse the Interest of fathers in *r.e school activities and get th»ir co operation. If there is a parent teacher association in your chil dren’s school, Join It. If tnere is none, why not form one? Intelli gent cooperation brings sp’^ndid results to all. B. L. SMITH, Sup’t.

Before you buy^oydir within $300 of Oak land's price, be sure to come in and see the complete results of these comparisons.

All told, 878 individual comparisons were made. Of these Oakland proved be distinctly superior in 451 or 5147 per cent. The 20 cars combined were at best equal to Oakland on 382 or 43.50 per cent. And 13 of the 20 were higher-priced than Oakland! WHEELBASE Only one car as low-priced as Oakland ha? a wheelbase as long as Oakland’s, which is 117 inches. That car requires a turning circle to the left of 42 feet as compared with Oakland V 38 feet. Six higher-priced ears hart shorter wheelbases. BRAKES Only Oakland and one other car in its field use the fine type of brakes which Oakland employs. And no car in the field equals Oakland’s 290 square inches of brake band area.
