M tory and sciences will have
wv an addition in the field Of
4 education this summer. It
will be traffic. This new course is
timely and appropriate. 1t Is not much
good Just to train the mind If one does
not at the same time know how to
take care Of the body. Physical edu-
cation Is not enough. One must know
how to avoid motor vehicle fatalities
and injuries.
Pointing to the rapid advance in
trafIic safety education as new evi-
dence that educators are trying to
keep abreast with student needs, the
American Automobile Association an
nounced today that 80 outstanding
universities and colleges in 20 States
will offer summer training courses for
high school teachers desiring to be-
come instructors in automobile opera
ton and use.
With the traffic fatality record for
drivers under 20 years Of age more
than five times as bad as that for
drivers in the IS to so age group, on
q mileage basis, Thomas p. Henry Of
Detroit, president Of the national
motoring body. said that it is gratifying
to see the educational centers OF the
country showing concern over the life
and death" problem on the highways.
Around 5000 high schools now offer
some form Of pedestrian and driver
education" said Mr. Henry. land the
ultimate objective is million and a
half graduates annually who have had
training in safe driving and pedestrian
practices. Obviously, the achievement
of this goal will be hastened by the
training of instructors-the purpose
of the summer courses now being
scheduled. 1t is already evident that
increased registration for driver edu-
cation and training courses this fall
will bring q demand for more instruc-
tors"
Preliminary to the special courses,
those who will be in direct charge will
attend an institute at the University
of Kentucky, May 1928, and a second
institute at some other college If 1t
is found to be desirable. Courses at
the University Of Maryland will begin
June II.
An indication of the progress that
has been made since the advent OF
the automobile in the Development Of
improved highways throughout the
world and the adoption of sound
methods of financing, building and
maintaining them is given in report
BY the International Chamber of
Commerce.
The study shows that while there
are wide differences in the extent of
highway development in the countries.
certain similar trends are found. For
example, in the early stages Of con-
struction of highways suitable for mo-

DR.. c. F. De Garis, writing in the
American Pflilatelist, sums up the
protest of many critics as follows:
What has happened to coin collectors
(as the result of unrestricted issuance
of special coins) may not happen to
stamp collectors-it has already hap
pened to them, with all the destructive
force available to a gluttonous bureau
cracy. Who else but the Post Office
Department really wants this endless
stream of Scent labels? Surely every
mature stamp collector must by this
time feel q profound sense OF nausea
at the mere mention of a new COM
memorative. His albums bulging with
these purple stickers and his pockets
emptied by the same tokens, let him
glance at any current price list to see
lust where he stands. From NeWburgh
to Virgin Islands, plate number blocks
NAV be had as low as 81 cents and at
an average of exactly ~ cents. dur
ing all of which time he has been
'sterilizing' his money at the rate OF
q to 35 cents for the same blocks.
This does not mean that the mar
ket is at q stalemate; rather 1t means
that only through the blind buying by
many thousands of stamp collectors Is
the market for these issues sustained
at all. When collectors wake up, Is
there Is distinct evidence they are
doing, then the liquidation will be fun
for all and food for none. Equities
in issues Of the last five years, and BY
reaction, those of other years, will drop
to face value or even lower, II excess
sive brokerage sets in. The best ana
most we can do, supposing we retain
our reason, IS to chop OF our collec-
tions with 1887, admit to being the
dupes we are and divert the funds We
have been spending so foolishly for
commemorative to those long stand
ing spaces among early issues, which
for obvious reasons we never could get
around to-"
