Work of the committee having the chill
drens auxiliary of the Street Safety AS
ISOLATION in charge has been started un-
der the direction of the chairman, Bris-
tow Adams and it is believed that de-
spite the nearness of the last day of
school, every child will be reached. The
work of this branch of the association
has been approved by DIR. William Nj.
Davidson, superintendent of schools and
he has instructed the supervising princi-
pals to cooperate with Mr.. Adams in
every feasible way.
Many of the supervising principals al
ready have expressed their interest in the

ment Probably no better judges of the
need of street safety could be found in
this city than among these and other
school officials. for these men and women
see daily numerous instances where chill
dren have narrow escapes from being
run over and killed or injured by vehicles.
Easy to Become Member.
All children who wish to become MEM
bers Of the auxiliary to the street safety
organization can do SO by simply signing
their names to the paper which will be
passed around by the teachers of the
schools. No dues or fees of any kind, of
course, are attached to this branch of the
body. 1t is hoped. however. to obtain the
moral support of the youngsters, and
also through them to enlist the sympa-
th1es of. the parents.
Plans are under way at present for the
instruction Of the children in street safety
during the summer months. These plans,
IL fully enough developed, may be an
nounced tomorrow.
Numerous propositions have been
brought before the various committees of
the Street Safety Association, looking to-
ward phases of street safety, both direct
ly and indirectly. Some of these propo-
sitions may be acted upon by the commit
tees in charge but others will have to
to be held in The Evening Star building
next Tuesday evening at O'Clock.

be accomplished.
Members of the association believe that
the movement for street safety is more
fully developed in this city than in any
other and that by the cooperation of
the residents here this city may keep the
lead.
Constant inquiries as to just what
Washington has done and is doing to
promote street safety are arriving al
most daily, many Of them from cities
which have already started campaigns
of their. own.
