Ii citizens OF every community
conducted themselves as students of
Technical High School do, municipal
experts would have to fold their
tents and silently slip away to ether
fields of endeavor.
Milo H. Stuart, Tech principal, be-
lieves grown-ups can learn a val
liable lesson from informal self-g gov
eminent as practiced at the school
for several years.
Students, without formal organ
ization for the purpose, make their
own regulations for conduct as the
occasion arises.
Stuart applies the principle that if
the proper spirit among the students
is cultivated there will be nc need
for organizations to control the con-
duct of the student body.
For Techs Prestige
''The school is regarded as a junior
state" he said Students coming
in for the first time are taught the
written rules and the unwritten ira
ditions. Rivalry exists each year to
see which class can do the most for
the prestige of Technical.

Washington D. c., March ia
series of studies conducted by the
American Automobile Association as
Part of it's national safety pro-
gram shows that the average
pedestrian too often follows the
dangerous line of least resistance,
whether he is walking on crowded
city streets or on the rural highway.
The pedestrian seldom takes time
to avoid the danger point" or to
consider which is the safer side of
the street to walk on. There is a
safer side and one way to minimize
the personal accident hazard is to
keep this in mind.
The accompanying diagram pre-
pared by the A. A. A. shows that the
all important precaution is to keep
the line of vision clear. The ma
jcrity of street accidents occur at
the danger point where motor vehicles
make the right hand turn and come
from behind the pedestrian.
To avoid this point it is safer to
walk on the side of the street where
one faces the approaching traffic
and has clear view of vehicles,
Particularly those negotiating the
right hand turn.
There Is also q safer way of cross
ing the diagonal corner and n num-
Der of ways that are not so safe.
Here again the important question
is to follow the line that will give
the biggest range of vision in regard
to traffic.
1t is equally important to walk on
the safe side of the approaching
