Safety First.

The safety first" idea, inaugurated
by the railroads in the operation Of
trains, has gained such Roadway that in
some Of the schools over the country
there is to-day an agitation for the adj
.dition to the teaching corps Of safety
first" instructor,
The railroads Of the country will glad
ly welcome and encourage such a move
ment for they realize that the more a
child is. taught the dangers Of railroad
crossings, playing on tracks and the
importance of observing the danger
signals at crossings, the fewer accidents
of this character will occur. The same
lesson should also be brought to the at
tention of the grown-ups as well, for
many of the persons who use the public
highways to day are too prone to take
a chance" when crossing railway and
many times the taking OF such chance
has resulted in death or injury to many
innocent persons. 1t is estimated that
fully nine-tenths of such accidents are
due to the contributory negligence OF
those who do not regard the signals at
crossings.
Many manufacturers have adopted the
policy of instructing their employees in
the safety first idea in handling danger
GUS machinery and it is known that
such instruction has greatly lessened
accidents.
Many of the railroads who own mo-
ton picture outfits have gladly CO.
operated with the school authorities in
loaning such machines for the instruc-
ton OF the children and it is believed
that such instruction will greatly lessen
the number OF accidents at crossings and
railroad yards.
