Transportation Makes School Accessible 0 oo THE FEW thousand years ago we probably would have worshipped transportation as a divine EI-M being. Modern cartoonists with a dormant sense of humor and no originality often illus- Q- trate this racing race of commuters as flat on their faces in humble homage to the god of from-here-to-there. None of us, when leaping from bus, auto, street car or Austin, steamship or aeroplane in our usual perpetually preoccupied slate of mind, realize what a long walk it would be, or what a tiring trip in a row boat. Few people will struggle through snow drifts. and fight their way through primeval forests for mere hook learning, when it is 11ot absolutely essential, and necessary. The government could not compel young people to attend school if it required a super human effort to get there. Even the laziest individual can not call walking a few steps and waiting a. few moments for a ve- hicle to take one to the school's front door an effort in these days. The educational system could sing to transportation: You made we what I am todayg I hope you're satisfied, and be as rele- vant as the original significance. . One of the greatest steps in the advancement of San Mateo High School has been the build- ing and opening of the Bay Shore Highway at the rear of the school, in affording a comfortable and convenient method for transfortation of all kinds to allparts of the community. For ' persons without vehicles, the two y Pierce Arrow busses, made in the Q school shops, have their familiar it routesg though to those viewing f the miscellany of machines A parked at the rear of the building every morning, it would seem that few students are left to partonize this form of hospitality. Indeed, W one student out of every ten, owns or operates la machine of sorts, some of which seem peculiarly lacking in the elements of mech- anism. Those whose fortunes are not up to the maintenance of a gas-devouring vehicle can afford . bikes, considering the low price e of machines and their upkeep. ' In the future, perhaps, auto- f mobile owners will be treated with the disdain the owners of ' bikes suffer today, skates will have passed entirely out of ex- istence, and the smart and ac- . cepted way of arriving for an ed- ucation every morning will be to 9 drop into your classroom via parachute. The opening of air- 5 ports in the vicinity of the school has made flying in general a less obscure and mysterious enter- prise. So to transportation, which has 5 minimized distances, we owe, in ' part, the growth of San Mateo U High School, fro1n a small frame 5 house to the extensive English I-1 Lownn-F1us'r HIGII senoor.
