Episcopal Church generally of the f1ne
educational facilities offered to parents
for the education of the boys and
girls Most of the Episcopal schools
are supported at least in part by mem
bers of other churches, while the EplS-
copaiians send their children to secu-
lar boarding schools.
In connection with the meeting OF
the Provincial Commission there will
be meetings in Philadelphia of the pro-
rincial committees on the Education
Of Youth and the Education of Adults.
These two subjects are very much to
the front in the minds of church peo-
pie in these days and the committees
are discovering much to discuss. The
findings of the commission and of its
committees will be disseminated
throughout the province for the bene-
fit of diocesan and parish educational
authorities.

Older People Figure in Most
Accidents, Says
Officer.

Young America holds "a steady
hand on the steering wheel, and
is responsible for but few auto ac-
cidents, according to Charles
Wolma, of the State police depart
ment, who declares older folk figure
in the majority Of mishaps.
wolma cited the fact that 5,844
permits had been granted to minors
between IA and II to drive auto
mobiles, and that during the past
six months State police had not
reported single case where one
of these youngsters was responsible
for a serious accident.
He admitted that a number OF
accidents had been caused by chill
dren driving without licenses, but
said that even these were compare
lively rare.
1.-THE younger generation seems to
drive by INSTINCT Wolma said.
"Any motorcycle policeman will tell
you that they know where they're
going and usually get there in one
piece. They seem to become part
of the automobile, and soon learn
to drive it as easily as they walk"
1T is the older people who cause
us so much trouble" he explained.
Many of them seem to be afraid
of the automobile they drive, and
this fear often caused them to get
into accidents which would have
been easily avoided if the driver
had had confidence in his ability
to handle his car"
