We may learn from them!
The record Of accidents at patrol
serviced intersections is one Of which
they may well be proud. The thou
sands Of children who daily cross at
these busy corners do so in safety and
security because these boys and girls
are on the job.
Therefore, it Is fitting and proper
that every parent-teacher association,
in whose school there is boy patrol,
should make an effort to pay some
special honor to them. A party, trip
to the ball game, treat of some kind
means great deal to them, and is
very easy way Of showing apprecia-
ton.
The 1937-38 school year is almost
finished, and these young people who
are members of the patrol will go their
various and sundry ways during the
summer months. Next year they may
not even be members of the patrol,
but whether they are or not. the les
sons they have learned while they
have been members will 60 with them
all through their lives-and they can
not fail to be better citizens as they
are growing up, because they will have
learned the value of loyalty and re-
sponsibility toward their fellowmen.
