tend to offset the fact that large num-

being closed. Children playing on the
street have been one of the conditions
making for street accidents
One thing which DR.. Stoneroad has
already done. tending 10 keeping chill

Details to Be Worked Out.

She has not yet planned the details OF
all this work, but will have it complete
when the meetings are held. She will
also ask the twenty six teachers for sug-
sestions along the line of teaching street
safety. Among the things which she pro-
poses 10 teach will be the need for cross
ing the street in direct line and not
faltering or changing the mind when the
start across the street is made.
One of the most interesting features of
the instruction. probably. will be that in
getting off and on street cars. For this
purpose a box will be used. representing
the step of the car As rapidly as posi-
BILE the children will be required to get on
the box and then step off of it, facing in
the proper manner and putting down the
right foot in making the dismount.
This teaching will be done in the early
part of the morning. OF course nu-
merous other things will be taught for
il is one of the big principles of play

something during the summer months
and that the teachers act as teachers
