Knee-Hi Gives Lesson
In Safety to 850
Colored Pupils
Children Yell
Their Appreciation
Of Instruction
Smartly clad in a red sweater
with her name on it, Knee-Hi, the
safety fox terrier, acted as teacher
yesterday at Third street and Mary
land avenue S.W., before 850 enthu
siastic colored children of the George
Bell School.
The safety lessons were arranged
through the co-operation of Mrs.
E. P. Derricotte, principal of the
school, who expressed confidence that
“the children won’t get hurt in the
" - 1
future If they follow Knee-Hl’* ex
ample.”
Announcer Jack Dalton repeated
the canine’s safety poem to the chil
dren, who yelled their appreciation:
“Stop, look and listen before you
. cross the street,
“Use your eyes, use your ears and
then use your feet.”
The program was opened by Sergt.
Thmoas HefTernan, who praised the
schoolbay patrol for Its safety work
and asked the co-operation of the
children in noting down the license
numbers of automobiles involved in
accidents.
The little wire-haired terrier also
gained a canine recruit in her safety
campaign. As Knee-Hi was trot
ting through her lessons, another
dog of nondescript breed ran out
into the street, apparently to get
better acquainted with Knee-Hi. Dr.
George E. Brunson, Knee -Hi’s
teacher, took the attitude, however,
that Knee-Hi’s lessons were intended
for children only and chased the
fiewly-acqulred pupil away.
Knee-Hi is sponsored by The Star.
In co-operation with the Board of
Education, the Police Department
and the Department of Motor Vehi
cles and Traffic.
