School for Drivers

a
 High school students here who plan to secure auto licenhes in the near future will receive instructions at class Saturday mornings in the high school, Superintendent of Schools H. E. Chittenden announced yesterday.
 Gilbert Teal, safety director at the U. 8. Rubber, and Patrick Kelly, who holds similar post at the Nauagtuck Chemical Company, will have charge of the class, which will receive instructions in safe driving and is expected to prove of much value to the youths.
 MT. Chittenden also announced a plan in which the chief of police, John J. Gormley the school de- partment and the New Haven Mo- torists club will cooperate. It is to encourage owners of bicycles to in- dergo @ sort of test or inspection system, so that they may receive licenses. Their machines will be inspected to see if they have proper equipment and that this is in good condition.
 If 1t is, and exhibit a certain amount of knowledge concerning operation of the machine and traffic rules, they will receive without charge a license. It is expected the plan will result in increased safety for drivers.
