Education, Department of Interior,
and of the state superintendent of
schools, or the principal school Off
cial. DR.. Tigert also is chairman of
the Highway Education Board.
The contest is being announced
now to the schools of the country.
Pupils are requested to write essays
of 500 words in length on the sub
ject 'My Schools Share in Highway
Safety" Four hundred and thirty
eight medals and as many cash
prizes will be given for the best es-
says in the several states, while
three national awards will be given
for the premier essays that are writ
ten by the pupils of the fifth, sixth,
seventh and eighth grades in school,
The first national prize consists of a
gold watch and trip to Washing
ton with all expenses paid, the win
ming pupils being under the care of
board officials.
In each state gold medal and a
check for fifteen dollars will be Civ
en- for the best essay, and a silver
medal and ten dollar check for the
second best paper. The number of
third prizes, each consisting of a
bronze medal and five dollars, varies
somewhat in proportion to the ele-
mentary school enrolment. New
York State, for example, receives
twenty-seven state prizes, while the
number for Alabama is nine, for
California thirteen, Texas nineteen,
Illinois twenty, and other states in
proportion.
In the teachers contest, three ma
tional prizes are given, amounting
to. 1850, but the first consists of
trip to Washington for the best les
son. The second and third prizes
respectively are three hundred dol
lars and two hundred dollars.
The contests are the fifth of a
concerted program undertaken by
the board at the suggestion of the
National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce, looking toward some
amelioratiOn of present conditions.
1t is believed by board officials and
many others that the surest plan for
relief, both immediate and in the
future, is to interest the schools.
pupils and teachers, principals and
superintendents, in campaign
which is broad enough to involve
humanitarian principles, and grave
enough to affect the foundations of
our economic system in so far as it
pertains to transportation
A generation ahead is not too far
to plan, in the opinion of many stu
dents of traffic conditions, who be-
lieVe there will be fewer traffic ac-
cidents proportionally, in 1916 than
in 1926. They say it is not too early
now to begin to train the drivers of
automobiles and the pedestrians of
that day and generation. In short,
the boys and girls of today, it is
claimed, will be taught through
these contests to be motor wise and
safety conscious, with a resultant
decrease in the traffic toll of the ma
ton, which in 1925 claimed approx
imately 10000 casualties.
While the campaign is intended
chiefly for the schools, it enlists the
aid of automobile clubs, women's
clubs, civic bodies, public officials,
and to avery general degree, the
support Of teachers, principals and
superintendents of schools. Indeed,
board officials assert that no single
group is doing more in highway
safety than the schools, through the
medium of these contests.
