PRESS COMMENT
Motoring near School Buildings

motoring near SCHOOl bullullBS
The accident in st. Johnsbury in
which a light motor truck ran over
a little school girl, who was a
member of a large group of child
rem just let out of school, is proof
enough that warning signs placed
in the vicinity of school buildings
for caution to motorists have their
part to play in protecting human
life. The degree of blame if any,
% be attached to the driver of the
motor truck has not been definite
Iy stated; but the conditions were
UGH, with the street almost filled
with youngsters leaving school and
with a binding dust obscuring the
vision of pedestrian ana driver,
that it was imperative that motor
vehicles, as well as other road We
hicles, proceed slowly. To insure
that such precaution be taken,
these warning signs are sometimes
! placed at reasonable distances
rom school buildings. Even in
country districts one is apt to run
across these signs-in such regions
as to indicate very small school
children population-and the mo-
torist is inclined to consider the
danger sight; yet there is element
of danger during the period of the
year when schools are in session.
Children with their nabitual dis
regard of danger, will now and
then rush out most unexpectedly
directly in the path of motor We
hicles. The driver of the road We
hicle, who is moved by a spirit of
watchfulness and caution, will
take due cognizance Of these warm
ing signs. All of them should.
Without attempting to say
whether or not the driver of the
motor truck in the st. Johnsbur0
accident was to blame-for we are
not aware of the whole facts in
the case-we are disposed to say
that in every case where signs
have not been placed to acquaint
eople with the location of a school
house they shold be placed at once
and, then, they must be obeyed.
Motorist, when you see sign
waning you of the location of a
shoolhouse bring YOU car down to
slow speed, with foot on brake,
ready for an emergency,-Barre

DOES A BARBER POLE HAVE
STRIPES?
TN THE old days the harher usad

TN THE old days the barber used to
be the surgeon, or blood-letter, as
well as the shaver and cutter Of
hair, for surgery in those times was
confined almost entirely to the re-
moval of blood by means of a cut in
the arm or leg.
The round brass ball at the top of
his pole or sign was originally the
brass basin which he used for lather-
ing his customers who desired to be
shaved and the pole itself was the
staff which persons held while the
blood-letting was being done. The
ribbons (now painted stripes repre-
sented the bandages used during the
operation--the white one being the
bandage as 1t was first applied and
the red one that which was taken off
the wound after the patient was
through. As time went on, the func-
tions Of the barber were gradually
taken over by the medical profession,
but his pole remains as a symbol of
his former glory.

This is thought which should

exercises an influence on the
lives of our youths. To each one
who realizes that he is doing his

he is helping TO make the young

because he will know that he is
contributing a great deal to the

1t is exceedingly unfortunate,

They should be taught to be

very serious mistake to tell
