among the pupils which they are en-
couraged to take into their homes.
After hearing the story of the Trian-
gle shirtwaist factory fire one girl eX-
pressed herself as follows: Many
thoughtless men light cigar or ciga-
| rette and throw the lit match in the
| waste basket. They go on with their
work and suddenly turn around and see
a great blaze. All this is due TO lack
| of thought"
Another boy remarked: "A few
| things that can help YOU be safe is your
ear. ne can hear things coming; your
eye is another helper. he can see things
| coming. and your nose can smell. II
sou keep all of these helpers on the job
| YOU are pretty sure Of being safe. And
| above all things never take a chance
Another phase Of the work is the
| safety patrol. This is made up Of
| twelve or fifteen Of the older boys
| chosen by the principal Of each school

| is then elected chief and all have badges
Just before school is out these station

dangerous crossings and TO prevent the

witnessed after dismissal and which is
So disturbing to vchcular traffic.
As the movement has progressed fur
Their interest has been awakened in the
pupils by asking them Ia report 10 the
chief of the safety patrol any dangerous
| conditions they may come across in
| street or building. Bulletin boards have
| been supplied each school and on these
the information SO obtained is posted
| and carefully read by all. After two

complaints with the proper authorities.

play a very important part in illustrat-
ing the talks
Let us say that the subject chosen
for the thirty minute period allowed
each class Is the use and the abuse of
the gas stove. After the lecturer has
shown the pupils just how the minia-
ture gas stove should be handled, ard
has pointed out by pictures the penal
ties Of disregard to ordinary precau-
tons. the following conversation en-
sues
Lecturer--IIow can we tell gas is es-
Gaping?
Pupil-We smell It,
Lccturer-what is the danger from
breathing escaping gas?
Pupil-You will die
Lecturer-Well. none OF us want to
die that way so we must remember al
ways TO turn off the burner cock tightly
after we have used the gas. What be-
comes OF the gas when it escapes"
Pup.l--Nou lose ii,
Lecturer-Indecd you do, and every bit
that you lose or vast" YOU have to pay
money for What should we remember
to do before lighting the oven of gas
stove?
Pupil-Open the door.
In this way every subject to be dis
| cussed is graphically presented; and the
children have responded in manner
| that is illustrated by the following eX-
| tracts from some of their compositions
| after safety lecture.

Then il was suggested that perhaps
the best way to get at the very root of
the evil was to begin with the child,
and hoy better to reach the child than
through the schools and public institu-
tons? The experiment was well worth
making and the Board Uf Education was
approached. The board readily con-
scented to set aside a certain period of
the school day to be devoted to the
teaching of safety provided the neces-
sary funds could be raised. That seemed
to be the stumbling block.
Then the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company came forward and agreed tn
finance such project in the Brookiy
schools for six months. a bureau of
public safety was promptly organized
within the Brooklyn Rapid Transit sys-
tenn and Mrs. Jessca Phillips Mccall
was appointed supervisor. The next
step was the formation of the Brooklyn
committee of public safety, whose en-
deavor it wall be TO cooperate and to
interest civic organizations, the boy
scouts, churches and public institutions
in the appointment of safety commit
tees and the study of local questions
bearing on the matter Of public safety
The whole scheme, in fact, has met
with such approval and the pioneer
work under the practical management
of Mrs. Mccall has proved SO success
full that the office is to continue and
the question of public security hence
forth to he permanent feature in the
schools of that borough.
Perhaps YOU do not understand why a
corporation like the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company should have been
willing to spend $1,000 to teach chill
dren how 20 guard against the dangers
that modern life has brought with il.
According To statistics gathered 1t was
found that "once in approximately ! 900
car trips a car and a pedestrian come
into contact or an accident occurs in
the boarding and alighting' category"
As the surface lines of that system
alone operate over 10000 car trips a day
between terminals, can't YOU see what
this means in the way of annual cost to
that railroad company for indemnifica-
tion? AS T. S. Williams, president Of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company,
has summed the matter up;
1.-THE company that ! represent nat
urally has perhaps the most AT stake of
any organization in this community in
preventing accidents. We feel how
ever that as an organization. working
alone, by the installation of proper APP
planes, machinery, equipment. and
so on. we are doing our measure o.
duty toward the public and toward our
selves yet large part of the suffering
and loss that comes from accidents is
beyond our control.
II think ! am safe In saying that a
very large portion OF il comes as the
result Of carelessness Of individuals

I'll make IL ma business to

The effect Of these words was mar
vellous. but the casual passerby could
not make out what 1t was all about
Here were healthy, everyday school
children drawn up as If on parade and
obeying the commands Of one of their
fellows not much older than themselves.
Why didn't they scatter hastily to take
their books home the sooner to get at
their play? The policeman at .the
corner must have read the puzzled look
on the face of the observer, for he
volunteered to enlighten her.
You bet lady, I'm glad these kids
are learnin' to take care of 'emselves,
for it was an awful job I had a-lookin'
after 'em when school was out, Many
a time ma heart was in ma mouth
when they'd run helter-skelter across
the street an almost git knocked down
an run over"
Even now the onlooker could not
grasp the situation. as she had never
seen children starting homeward from
school in such orderly fashion before.
How did it all come about?
Early last year the American Museum
of Safety began agitating a chlldren's
safety crusade. the direct outcome Of
the long list of accidents annually in
the streets of New York. There was
the mute evidence Of the statistics Of
1912 which recorded 1875 persons killed
by trolley cars. 81 killed by automobiles
and 229 killed by wagons of all descrip-
tons. aside from the st1l greater num-
Der of more or less seriously injured.
But fire is no less a menace. as the
following table shows.

PHILADELPHIA, oct. 24.-The University
Of Pennsylvania football team continued
its winning streak by nosing out the Car
lisle Indians to-day on Franklin Field by
tho score OF to o.
After playing Penn on its feet for two
and a half quarters the Braves seemed
suddenly to lose their fight and watchful-
ness. They had made ten first downs TO
the Quakers' one up to that time and twice
had the Red and Blue players staving of
defeat under their own goal posts before
toe crack came. Then instead OF gaining
from three to eight yards on every play
they starred losing two Ave and even ten
yards to down.
The Penn linemon broke through tho
formerly impregnable dusky line at will
and dropped the runners in their tracks
with the ball At mldhed. PENIS fullback,
Tucker, suddenly pulled A 32 yard for
ward pass to Hopkins that brought the
ball To the Redskins 20 yard line. The
period ended here.
At the start of the final period Mat

by Busch. but he recovered the ball. ON
the second down Avery. who had just
been substituted FOR Tucker. tossed a long
forward pass to Merrill. who was walt

the ball tight and shot over the goal line
for the only touchdown. Seelbach kicked

next period. With the ball on PENIS )

a goal from placement and failed sse

Penn had one more chance To score.
At the close OF the opening period the ball

and some substantial line bucks by Wray,
but the Quakers were penalized for hold

failed
The only causes that can he attributed
to the failure OF the redmen to score was

because of creased fingers, while the
