Pamlico County’s motor school wagon to transport children
Pamlico County Superintendent T. B. Attmore unveiled a benzine buggy converted to a 34-child capacity school vehicle. He drove the machine to Raleigh with officials and later to Oriental to show how rural kids can reach consolidated schools. The plan envisions a statewide shift to public funding for distant students, funded by a 50 cent tax, with a female school board chair guiding the project. The venture aims to prove transport costs are offset by consolidated schooling, potentially inspiring other counties.
