Schools Urged To
Teach Road -Rules
A movement urging school
officials throughout the United
States to teach children the
"Rules of the Road" has been
started. Such a course of in
struction for all school children
would be highly benefcial, and
it is hoped the movement will
be successful. One very def
nite reason for highway acci
dents is a lack at understanding
of rules. if the child can be
taught care. the rules so learn
ed will remain with him as he
grows, and not only will be
have a stter appreciation of
safety as a pedestrian, but If
he becomes a driver of an au
tomobile his early training will
stand him in good stead.
