IN TRAFFlCSAFETY
ESSAY CONTEST
More Than $4,000 Killed
And $4,000 Injured in
u. S. Last Year.

A street safety campaign was be-
gun in the public schools yesterday
when Superintendent of Schools
Frank W. Ballou announced that q
contest, open to pupils and teach
ers. would be held for prizes offered
by the Highway Education Board for
the best essays on how to minimize
the dangers of street traffic. The
contest, IT is announced, is a part of
nationwide move on the part of
the Highway Education Board.
During last year. it is declared. ap-
proximately 10000 persons were
killed in street accidents. The num-
ber of injured totaled 350.000. 1t is
estimated that approximately one
fourth of these were children. This
useless destruction of life. 1t is be-
lieved, can be avoided to large de-
gree by interesting school children
in making the streets safe both for
pedestrians and vehicles.
Commening on the increasing
number of accidents in American
cities. DIR. John j. Tigert, United
states Commissioner of Education.
declared that the "lethargy is ap-
palIing and appears nothing short of
criminal"
In Washington alone. according to
figures obtained from the Traffic
Bureau yesterday. the casualties
from street accidents far exceeded
the number from the Knickerbocker
Theater disaster. During the year
1921. it is reported, fifty persons
were killed outright and 1923 9TH
crs were injured.
Because these figures covered a
period of twelve months, 1t is de-
clared. they make little impression
upon the popular mind.
The semi-monthly nesting of the
superintendent of schools with su-
pervising principals. normal school
principals. and directors of special
work will be held at o'clock this
afternoon at Franklin School. The
