AUTOMOBILE RISK.

A spokesman for the automobile in
terest, attempting a rebuttal to the
frequent complaint against the fatal
reckleSsness of INCORPORATION, puts
forward the assertion that there is a
steady gain being made in the safety
of automobile traffic, and proceeds to
back it UP by statistics.
According to his figures, which are
certified to as official, the number of
deaths caused by automobiles in 1914
was at the ratio of OOPS to the num-
Der of cars registered, while in 1919
the ratio was but .OO13. Wherefore,
he argues, that there has been a fifty
per cent. gain for safety.
Such computation may do for the
man at the wheel of the car and for
the insurance company which guar
antees to indemnify him against liza
bility for damage. Dividing the
number of fatalities by the total num-
Der of cars, gives proper ratio of
risk or of the premium which each
car should pay.
But if an insurance company were
to compute the risk of the individual
as against the automobile, it would
figure by an entirely different formu-
la. The total number of automo-
bile fatalities reported in the coun-
try in 1919 was 1927, compared with
4,231 five years before. The ratio
of such deaths per thousand of popu-
lation was .0936, as compared with
.0428 in the earlier year. In other
words the risk of the individual as
to automobile deaths doubled in the
fve-year period.
The actual number of cars and the
ratio of cars per thousand of popula
ton little more than quadrupled
during the same time, so that the
smaller increase of danger testifes
to degree of caution in operation
But in multiplication of cars alone
there is an unavoidable increase of
risk, and the measure of caution must
increase to offset it.
Speed and traffic regulations which
might be considered as the acme of
safety when there were but seven
teen cars on the highways for every
thousand of population are inadequate
when the ratio of cars has risen to
seventy-one for every thousand. As
the number of cars increase, there
must be more restrictive regulations

VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE

Vocational guidance is making
rapid progress in the schools of the
United States. Both high schools and
colleges are establishing bureaus
within their own institutions to help
pupils find the jobs for which they
are best fitted.
The purpose, of course, is to make
education more effective and to
adapt it, as far as possible, to the
needs of individual pupils. Thot is
an excellent work, and one which has
proper place in American schools
and colleges. Yet there is danger
that overemphasis will be placed on
the vocational work and the job will
become of more importance than the
education which precedes it or the
opportunity of service which it should
represent.
One critic suggests that there
should be carved above the doors of
every school and college the words,
Enter that you may the better
serve" The dean of Ohio State
University expressed the same idea
when he said in recent speech:
"All this talk about getting jobs and
degrees puts forward wrong ideas of
education. For the undergraduate,
getting a job is not so important a
consideration as the rendering of su-
perior service after the job is OBJ
tanned. Training for a specific lob
usually results in the neglect of some
of the higher aims of education in IA
vor of the element of skill"
Skill is necessary, and so is eff
cheney. But there is a tendency to-
day to regard them as ends in them
selves instead of merely tools for hap.

Thoughtful promoters of vocational
guidance are not going to make that
mistake. They will help the pupil.
