To Rockville Pupils

The American Automobile Assocla-
ton has loaned a new dual control
automobile to the pupils of Richard
Montgomery High School. This car
will be used by the automobile driving
class under the direction Of Mrs. Mary
Butz. All of the members Of this
years graduating class are enrolled
in the driving course. Each member OF
this class will have an opportunity to
drive the car. Mrs. Butt has been
especially trained to offer instruction
in the automobile driving field.
The dual control car is equipped
with an extra clutch and an extra
brake pedal for the use of the instruc-
tor. Thus the instructor has control
of the automobile at all times and
may stop the car in any emergency
without interfering with the student
oriver.
Many colleges and some high
schools are now becoming aware of
one of the nations most serious prob
lens, faulty driving of automobiles.
Consequently, courses in automobile
driving are being put in the curricu-
lums attempting to create a sports
manlike attitude on the part Of driv-
