The buses were unloaded in.New York and caused quite a sensation as they diove down the streets of New Rork. In fact, to anyone Who has ever been to London, they broyght back a real touch of Great Britain’s capital city. Getting beyond the sentiméntal touch and the novel- ty angle, the buses pose a question which might, some day, have to be solved in the larger cities in this country. In Washington, D. C., and New. York, as, well as in other large metropolitan areas, the end of the work day al- ways finds overloaded buses and jamming masses of hu- manity, which cannot be adequately served by one-decker transportation. ! The British, in even more crowded London, solved . their problem some years ago by. building buses with two decks. Americans who have. ridden on them can testify to their efficiency and their ability to haul large numbers of passengers during rush hours, \ Many Americans have observed that in the field of transportation this country-has learned. and can learn much from various European countries. The U. S. rail- roads are just beginning to match certain features of the . German, British and French ‘railroads, of pre-war days. “Of course, U. 8. roads boast eertaia advantages. over their European counterparts. They are fast catching up on de- ” ficiencies. zt In the matter of buses, it seems common sense to de- , velop double-déck busés for use’ in such cities as New York and Washington, D. C., ‘where one vehicle can do the work of two and where road space is at a premium. -»« And, anyhow, we like to sit on the second deck, above the driver, and look through the top front windows — as pas- sengers on the London buses have so long done. TELEVISION AND EDUCATION The Federal Communications Commission is tonsid- - ering the reservation of a fixed number of channels for educational purposes, The body is scheduled to take up this matter during the summer, andj if the channels are liottéd, they may mean a new: look for America’s schools. vy The potentialities of television, as a teaching instru- whent, are withdut bounds. Tests have already proven that young people eagerly ‘watch. and absorb information flashed on television séreens to an extent unobtainable with conventional teaching methods, Television lessons provide the student with both a visual and vocal picture and they speed his intellectual progress beyond anything the educational profession has witnessed in many years. There is a danger that commercial interests. will per- suade the FCC to allot the channels available for educa- ficial critics of his work. In de- tional purposes to commercial areas. The Government commission may find all the pressure on the commercial users, While this would not necessarily be a long-term tragedy, it would be a setback which would represent defeat for the educational profession. This is an issue worth the attention of the people of more than one state. The hardest job we know is trying te be impartial. Life will be sweeter when you stop trying to remake your husband or wife. The quickest way to make'a friend is to start out with a good honest disagreement. you don't beliéve in advertising you will never achieve the success you could achieve. Marriage may not be the answer to all of life’s prob- lems, but it seems to be pretty popolar as the beginning of them. Every now and then we hear a businessman com- plaining but he never mentions that he is making more money than he ever made in his life. |thor of Treasure Island has this} vide and, therefore, bow to the request of commercial |, *¥' Be ¢|Red Drive For German Unity | Louis’ nt em as present moment opportune for the biography progresses.
