TEACH THEM TRAFFIC RULES

In these days of improved public
schools, when SO many suggestions
are being made concerning the pre-
sevation of the health of little ones,
it has been suggested that close
study of traffic rules in this day OF
motor vehicles might curtail the
number of accidents to children.
While Alexandria, so far, has had
comparatively few serious mlshaps
caused by automobiles, such are la
bic to occur at any time
Adults are often as thoughtless
as children in crossing streets While
these modern vehicles are moving
RAPIDLY in both directions. In Bal
timore few days ago, while a trat-
fic policeman was directing the
movements of autos, etc., man,
who was reading newspaper, walk
ed slowly towards tide of fast
moving vehicles. The policeman
took the thought!ess man in charge
and after administering sharp re-
bake allowed him to proceed.
A correspondent makes the fcl-
Loving suggestions in Baltimore
paper: F..
sqMfllions of money and dozens of
paid guards and nurses could not
insure the safety or prevent the
death of Little Vinson Mclean the
millionaire's child who ran out into
the roadway in Washington recently
IN play, and met death under the
wheels of an automobile!
Carefully protected and watched
al his nine years Of life, the time
came when chance made him the VIC
tim of the same type of automobile
;.cidcnt that has taken the lives OF
hundreds of humber children. Be-
cause Vinson Mclean was the NIL
| i:cnaire baby of nation wide public
| ity, the world was shocked by his
dcath-hut its real lesson is to every
mother heart which is so warned OF
the ever present menace OF traffic to
the child of the city. .
"a traffic expert has recently made
careful study of street accidents to
pedestrians, especially with reference
tc children. and as a result of his
ork he has formulated a set OF
safety-Rrst rules for the guidance of
children whose play or business in
vclves crossing public streets.
"Memorize these rules, then teach
them to your children so thorough
~ that they cannot be misunder-
stood or forgotten. 1t is impossible
for any parent to give his personal
pedestrians, especially with reference
The only safe way is to teach the
child to take care of himseif-to be
aware of the danger and trained to
avoid it.
