EDUCATION AND FARM IM- t
PROVEMENT. t
f
University of Wisconsin Shows That '
Farm Improvements and Conven- 1
iences Increase With Educational I
Luanda rds. j
1
Some interesting figures have been <
collected by the University of Wis- i
con in, showing the relationship be
tween education and farm improve
ment.
Eight hundred and twenty-five
farms in Wisconsin were made the
sources of the information, the idea
being to determine how education af
fected the improvement of the farm
thome. Four home conveniences
were selected, the bath room, the
lighting system, the furnace and the
automobile. And the farms were di
vided into four classes depending on
the degree of the farmer’s educa
tion, —common school, high school
short course and college. About 20
per cent of the “common school”
farms enjoyed the four convenienc
es, about 26 per cent of the high
school class, 25 per cent of the short
course, and over 40 per cent of those
farm homes where there had been
the advantage of college education.
Two things about the investiga
tion are particularly interesting. In
the first place it was found that the

Seven Buick Models Announced
For 1921; High Pinnacle Reached
“For twenty years the Buick Mo
tor Company has adhered steadfastly
to definite principles of motor car
design and manufacture,” says E.
T. Strong, General Sales Manager
Buick Motor' Co. “The reward to
owners and dealers as well as to the
builder, for this unswerving fidelity
to policy and concentration of ener
gies has been seen year after year.
“And, the highest pinnacle in this
long period of Buick development has
been reached in the new line for
Nineteen Twenty One.
“There are seven models for the
new season, including three open and
four closed body types. .
“Since the opening of the previous
season, the Buick Valve-in-head mo
tor, even at that time brought to a
high state of perfection, has under
gone strenuous tests in the Buick re
search and experimental laboratories.
And it has passed from the engin
eers’ hands a more refined motor,
capable of greater service with less
exacting demands on the driver for
adjustment and attention.
“Throughout the entire chassis
mechanical changes have been intro
duced wherever possible to make for
easier adjustments and care of
working parts.
“It is no longer necessary for one
to get under the car in order to drain
oil from the crank case. Just inside
of the hood there is a handle which
operates the plug in the crank case.
In a similar way water may be
drained from the radiator by turning
an extended handle placed within
convenient reach.
“Owing to the growing demand for
a more roomy and luxurious road
ster, the new Model Twenty One-
Forty-Four has been studiously de
signed with the result that it is dis.
tinctly a new model.
“The rear of the body has been
widened, making it exceptionally
comfortable for two passengers be
sides the driver. There are two spa
cious compartments beneath the rear
deck, that affords ample storage
space.
“The five-passenger open car,
Model Twenty One-Forty Five, has a
graceful, low appearance. The
percentage of automobiles owned
rose steadily from 20 per cent in the
common school class of farms to
about 28 per cent in the college class,
whereas the average of the other
three conveniences rose rapidly from
20 per cent in the first class to over
45 per cent in the college class of
farms, thus showing that as educa
tion increases real household com
forts such as lighting systems, bath
rooms and furnaces are considered
even more desirable than the almost
necessary automobile.
' The second interesting result was
that lighting systems and bathrooms

driving compartment and the tonryiau
have been re-arranged slightly to
provide more room and the seats
have been changed so as to afford
the most comfortable position for
driver and passengers.
“Model Twenty One-Forty Nine
the seven-passenger open car, is con
tinued as the ideal car for the fam
ily. Door openings have been wid
ened and more room for extra pas
sengers has been secured.
“All of the open cars are equipped
with the new Buick patented top,
which permits an unobstructed view
to all occupants. Snug-fitting cur
tains swing with the doors.
“Buick closed cars have been
greatly improved also. The three
previous models have been developed
and, in addition, a new four-passen
ger coupe, Model Twenty One-Forty
Eight. This model is in every respect
a full four-passenger car. It is built
on the same extra length chassis as
the large seven-passenger sedan. At
the right and rear of the driver’s
seat is a wide seat for two, in front
of which is a folding seat with up
holstered arms and back rest. When
not in use, it may be folded under
the cowl. Back of the driver’s seat
and also under the rear deck, are
spacious compartments for suit cases,
bags and parcels.
“Model Twenty One-Forty Six, the
four-passenger coupe on the model
Twenty One-Forty Sedan chassis, is
itself a roomy, comfortable car. The
interior has been re-arranged too.
and an extra seat swings under the
cowl.
“The two new Buick sedans, for
five and seven passengers, Models
Twenty One-Forty Seven and Twen
ty One-Fifty, are bound to make an I
even wider appeal than they have in i
past seasons. The improvements have
been plentiful.
“All of the closed cars are equip
ped with storm-proof windshield, an
ti-glare sun shade and water tight I
doors.
“In the complete line, the Buick;
Motor Company sees that a new qual
ity has logically resulted from twen- ■
ty years’ experience in building a 5
motor caj. according to accepted en- 1
gineering ideals.
I
just about kept pace with each oth-j
er in all four classes. This due to I
the fact that the installation of a
modern electric light and power plant!
makes possible the long wished for
bath room. For with electric power
the most natural thing is to install!
one of the automatic pumping sys

they have in the city.
