Example for Children Social
Glib Elects 0ffiCsrS.

ing tender AT the luiHci a'cheS ~
ing there have been many narrow es-
capes from serious II not fatal accidents
AT that point because Of the habit which
many people have contracted OF dodgine
under the gates and running across the
track In front OF approaching trains
This has been especially true In the
case OF children going TO and from school
who have not yet reached the age where
they realize the danger into which they
are rushing when they fail TO heed the
obstacle which Is maintained by the rail-
road company for the express purpose OF
keeping them out Of danger.
Yesterday afternoon number OF young
men were in the vicinity Of the cross
ing when the gates were down for an
approaching train and number OF chill
dren were coming from school. One Of
the teachers was somewhat In advance
~ the children and the young men were
greatly surprised to see her not only
dodge under the gates but deliberately
push them UP TO make her passage across
the tracks more convenient. Several
children who were waiting for the train
TO pass rushed across when they saw
the example set by the teacher. who In
her thoughtless haste 10 get home had
set an exceedingly dangerous example for
the children.
Every child there rushed across the
track as soon as they saw her do IL. evil
IDENTIFY taking IL for granted that IL was
safe act or else their teacher would
not do H. II one OF them had fallen
while going across IL is likely that a
tragedy would have resulted.
