CHILDREN AND CARS,
A System of School Drills for
the Protection of Young
Pupils.
Superintendent Babcock Knows of but
One Accident to School Children
in Nine Years.

1.-THE question of protection against street
car accidents should be agitated, but
more with view to protect adults than
children. The teachers of the public
schools are extremely careful to guard the
children against the possibility of acci-
dents from streetcars," said Superintend-
ent Babcock yesterday.
EVERY day between 2:30 and 8 P. NJ.
$4,000 children leave the public schools.
Most of the schools are on car lines. Con-
sidering the mum Der of children and the
number of streetcars, it is surprising there
are not more accidents. During my nine
years connection with the schools l have
known but one. That occurred on EDDY
street few months ago.
ga rule that teachers never fail to insist
upon is that children shall not cross the
street except at regular crossings, where
there are car lines.
"Yet these suggestions are good. Too
much care cannot be taken. p"
The Superintendent of Schools pro-
duced the following letter, which called
out his remarks, practical one:
To the Editor of the Call-DEAR SIR: In view
of the frequent accidents since the introduc
ton of the electrician and the increased speed
at which the cable-cars are run, would it not
be we'll to have the children taught at school
TO be more careful? In order to impress on their
minds the necessity of using more caution and
instill it in their minds, l would suggest that
something like the following be put in force:
l. Look both ways when crossing the street
or when alighting from car.
2. Never try to cross the street when either
car or team is anyways near.
8. Don't get on or attempt to get off car until
car stops
4. Always get off on the right side.
My suggestion is that rules such as the above
should be posted in every kindergarten and
primary class room in the City, and that such
rules be read aloud to the class every morning
by the teacher, or perhaps, better still, by a
different pupil every day, taking them in regu-
lar rotation.
In my opinion it would be but short while
when children would, by such constant drum
ming, become mechanically careful and many
accidents would be avoided. AS it is now, a
very large proportion of our population, both
young and old, are getting SO familiar with
danger that they are becoming more needless
and take chances every day that they should
not and would not take had they been taught
the foregoing simple rules.
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-13
Secretary Hoibrook Says That
the Hares Shall Not
Be Chased.
NO CHANCE WITH THE DOGS.
The Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals Will
Make Arrests.

Charles Holbrook. secretary of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails. says that the coursing grounds which
are being made near the Ingleside track
shall never be used while he is at the helm.
II should like these people to know that
it is a waste of money and energy for them
to construct any such grounds" said the
secretary yesterday. "We shall never al
low coursing in this County. At the first
exhibition they give we shall have them
arrested and at each subsequent exhibition
they will be arrested. Coursing is allowed
in the county of San Mateo, but they have
dog fights and all sorts of things there
which we should never tolerate on this
side of the line.
II know that the hare is pest
in many parts of California and has to
be exterminated. But there is way of do
ing that without inficting useless
cruelty. No true sportsman would pat
roniZe the sort of coursing that hear they
contemplate having near the Ingleside
track. The sportsmen go into the valleys
and start a hare that is fresh and fleet OF
foot. Under those circums mstances the crea-
ture has chance against the dogs; but
what sort of sport, | should like to know,
Is III tO CTdIDp up Il lldIS lOl 1OulS llcil
turn it out, sick and terrified, with scarcely
a chance against the dogs that pursue it?
Any man with an idea of fair play would
revolt against taking such an unfair ad-
vantage of the hare.
Il have seen the sort of coursing [ mean
in San Mateo, and it was patronized by
very low people. There was an inclosed
course and the only chance of escape for
the hare was into the corners of the in
closure, where the pickets were wide
enough to let it through. | saw sick,
terrified hare turned out on this course; it
did not know the ground, and had not one
chance in a hundred against the dogs. One
hare had its skin torn completely from its
back. and yet is was alive, and another was
torn in two by the dogs Call that sport?
Whv, it was one of the most low down
exhibitions of cruelty | ever saw"
When asked about the coursing matches
in which so many sportsmen in England
participate, the secretary said that was an
entirely different matter. 1.-The great
matches there are all run in the open" he
said. Gas / understand it, the ground
near Ingleside is to be shut in, which
makes it an exhibition no true sportsman
would patronize. However, | shall see to
it that at the first exhibition given there
the people who give it are arrested. l
should not be surprised if whisky-mill
were an adjunct of the coursing ground"
