Can You Picture KANSAS without Schools?
We think of good education for our children as the natural birthright of young Americans but building and administering a fine school system such as that of our state is a gigantic task.
Studies run from kindergarten through the three "R's", to advanced scientific and sociological research. Thousands of teachers are devoting their lives to this work—and to them goes much of the credit for its success. To local and county school boards—to the state officials—goes their share of credit.
We of the Overland Greyhound Lines take pride in your state's educational achievements. We know that our organization is aiding the schools with tax incentives, transportation service. Good education and good transportation have decisive parts to play in the present, as well as the future of the state in the post-war world.
