SAFETY COUNCIL GIVES
CALENDARS TO SCHOOLS
TCOnfinned from First Page1

COHffHHed from fHf rage
The safety calendars have been
approved for school use by DIR. Fl. v.
Holloway, State Superintendent of
Public Instruction, and by DR.. Ze-
mas R. Clark, Superintendent of the
Wilmington Public School System in
charge of safety activities.
Professor Albert Farley, supervis-
or of rural schools in Sussex coun-
ty, and a director of the Safety
Council, wrote the following mes
sage which was attached to each of
the calendars:
"The Council believes that your
school safety program will benefit
materially by a close study of the
many safety suggestions in the cal
endar. Each month presents hui
nan interest picture and side sket-
cbes which extend or project the
dominant safety thought, the appli-
cation of which will increase the
safety consciousness of your stu
dents and help eliminate many need
less mishaps.
Safety information is useless un-
less it is put into practice. If chill
dren can recite glibly all safety
rules. and yet allow ice to remain
on the school steps, or permit boards
with sharp nails to lie about the
schoolyard, or habitually walk on
the wrong side of the road, then the
safety program is a failure. Infor-
nation alone is not enough.
1T is not necessary to teach safe /
ty as separate subject. Teachers
are successfully integrating it with |
the traditional subjects. 1t has been /
found easy to teach safety in con-
nection with oral and written Eng
lish. music, art. arithmetic and
health. One resourceful teacher
the schoolroom floor in
70 a highway and used safety as the
core subject for all her instruction.
when safety is properly present.
ID. children like it. They have. on
heir own initiative, written short
iafety plays and presented them at
assembly.
"The January picture of this cal
'ndar might be used to suggest CO.
operation in safety. and can be in
egrated with geography; the Feb
uary picture suggests an integra-
ion of safety and recreation: the
lay picture naturally brings up the
uestion of safety in the home; the
october picture suggests an inte-
ration of safety with civics: etc. I
"The First Aid information at the
nd of the calendar is vital. We have
nown children to copy this infor- =
iation and take 1t home and use II
! an emergency. Dramatize this in
)rmation whenever possible.
Remember. Safety information
'hich is learned and not translated 9
ito action is useless"

NEW CENTURY CLUB

Education was the subject dis
cUssed at Milford New Century Club
this week, with Mrs. Robert P. Da-
Wis as chairman. Mrs. Davis had as
her speaker. E. Paul -Burkholder, of
Georgetown, rural supervisor of
schools in Sussex county, who spoke
on School Legislation. Mrs. Davis in
introducing ~ her speaker said:
Many WHO thought their education
completed ten years ago are much
behind the times, for one is never
through with study. Although we
are taxpayers, we are still students,
who are still learning" Prefacing
his talk, Mr.. Burkholder showed the
Delaware School Journal. which is
published several times each year,
and which contains valuable infor-
nation for teachers and parents. At
the present Legislature there will be
many school bills that will come up
for change, said Mr.. Burkholder.
among them being one concerning
school boards, changing them from
appointive members to elective
members; one whereby the school
budget, which derives most of its
funds from tax on corporations. may
have a fixed tax on each share is
sued by corporations rather than on
the corporations as a whole. A
school building program bill will
be an important one under discus
sion by the Legislature as well as
one providing for trade school,
$50, 900 of which has. been given
from Federal funds, the aim OF
which will be to have one in each
Of the three counties. A bill for an
school will also be pre- I
;ented. providing for children hand
tapped by physical disabilities.
Tenure for teachers and teachers
retirement fund are two more bills
o be considered. The closing of one
.oom school houses is a bill that
will be a part of the school legisla-
i've program. These bills were so
discussed by Mr.. Burk-
lolder. that one member in leaving
he building said she felt as IL she
las had a liberal education. The !
lub chorus sang "Carmina" and
iiss Jean Mulholland played Pre-
lde in C Sharp Minor" by Rach-
and "Melodie" by Mas
tret.
Next week the members will ga
her at the club rooms at one for
overed dish luncheon. of which Mrs.
scar Ackerman will be in charge.
t that time the State President,
Irs. Louis A. Drexler. will be the
uest of the club.
