COURTESY FIRST IS SAFETY FIRST
THIS WEEK MAGAZINE

seize chance to beat the other fellow
to it. This is prudence and fair play.
Likewise a woman driver should
never presume upon the chivalry of
men. If she is lady, she will not
assert the prerogatives of her sex in
any traffic situations.
If more people realized that the
horn, as the voice of the car. is in
reality the voice of the driver, there
would be less raucous thoughtlessness
in its use. People who would never
dream of bawling vocal protest at
a few seconds delay. blast away on
their motor horns at every little hesi-
tation on the part of the car ahead.
No young man of good taste would
announce his arrival to the young
woman he most admires by standing
at the curb outside her door and yoo-
hooing. Yet, this is the identical
offense which so many commit who,
arriving by motor, sit at the wheel
and blast away at the horn A we'll
hammered visitor will alight and ring
the doorbell. After all, the mere own
ership of a motor car does not cancel
the ordinary obligations of behavior.
The same man who grows highly
indignant at the woman who neglects
to take off her hat in the theater,
thinks nothing of blaring along the
highroad with glaring lights, despite
the courteous dipping of the beams of
those he meets. Yet, in the former
case, he is merely being annoyed; in
the latter, he himself is endangering
his own life and the lives of others.
A curious lack of consideration is
shown time and again by the friends
of car-owner who is driving his own
car. They will all crowd into the back
of the car leaving him chaufeur-like,
alone in the front. In any party of
guests, one of them should always sit
with the owner who drives. Even if
there are only two, one should sit with
him and the other in the rear seat.
This is because he cannot turn his
head to talk with, or listen to, those
in the back.
As to the manners of pedestrians:

as they would never do if they were
not in hurry! If no one ever tried
to shove to get into place where one
doesn't belong - if no one pulled out
of line without knowing exactly where
and how one was going to get in again,
if no one did anything discourteous.
motor accidents would be much fewer
Good manners in car driving are
actually good sportsmanship. Their
importance is far more than that of
courtesy. Boorish driving not only
produces unfavorable emotional reac-
tons; but it endangers the lives and
limbs of all in the vicinity.
1t is just as unfair and unsporting
to lag when the traffic light turns
green (holding up the other cars be-
hind you), as to beat the light by
starting while it is still red Inatten-
ton to traffic lights, in addition to
being a careless disregard of the law,
is an affront to all other drivers.

and on the left of his portion of the
highway when he turns left. The boor-
ish driver who swings to the left be-
fore right turn, and vice versa,
shows plainly a person so selfish or
lazy, that he would rather risk his
own, and the following drivers life,
than to turn the steering wheel the
little extra that means safety.
Good breeding is revealed by the
manner in which people park their
cars. Well-bred people neither monop-
olize space for two parked cars, nor
park so close that others are prevented
from pulling out. In marked parking
places, well-bred people stay within
the marks.

ners are every bit as important to
those who want to escape being in
jured, as for those who want to avoid
injuring others. First rule for pedes-
trians is, don't cross against the red
light Don't cross street in middle of
block. Above all, don't dart forward
after hiding behind parked car and
imagine that an oncoming driver,
whom you yourself did not see, could
know by means of clairvoyance that
you were there! Don't, when the
lights change while you are in the mid
die of the street, turn and run back
to the side you started from. If you
keep on going exactly as you were.
the drivers in the line on your right
will automatically wait and give you
time to pass in front of their cars.
But not one of those on the left,
whose line you have already passed,
can possibly be prepared to have you
about-face and suddenly dash in front
of his wheels.

Just as every well-mannered driver
makes it clear to every other driver
exactly what he is going to do, every
well-mannered pedestrian should do
his part to keep well-mannered dry
ers from running the risk of killing

an innocent driver commit man.
slaughter unwittingly.
Drinking is, of course, another cause
of accidents, and one about which the
present law is formidable But, ac-
tually, it is not so much the drunken
driver who is the greatest menace.
Comparatively few people are willing
to ride with him, and he is, further
more, likely to be stopped by the first
traffic policeman he meets. The real
menace is the exhilarated driver, who
has taken just enough to destroy his
judgment, and to increase his JOY in
recklessness, and who consequently
takes chances that he would not think
of taking when he has had nothing to
drink.

~ object of good manners is to
make the world pleasant place to

Almost every accident is due to

is true that this someone" may be
pedestrian, but first, let me list the
bad manners that are typical of dan
gerous drivers. At the top of the list
is Henry Neighbor, who is bursting

neighbor. Never in his life has he

straining influence. But out on the
road, his new cars power becomes

thrill of watching the needle on the
dial point up, and up, and up!
Another bad d-mannered driver is the
one who is always in hurry. Among
the thousands of motor accidents list

ligious tolerance that is truly Ameri-
can. 1t is most important that spe-
cial attention be given to the for
n-language groups TO cultivate an
understanding and appreciation Of
the American enterprise and to en-
courage their contribution to it.
American culture is and must be dis
titled from the best contributions

"Education a Patriotic Duty"
Selective service suggests the pos
sibility of new and urgent educa-
tional problems. High school and
college students should continue TO
make longtime plans for their edu-
cation. Emergencies do not con-
tinue forever. Young people must
look ahead to future careers in our
democratic society. President Roo
sevelt has said, Young people
should be advised that it is their
patriotic duty to continue the nor
NAL course Of their education . ;"
Those who will be selected for
training may have to continue their
education by correspondence or ex-
tension courses. This is a problem
that deserves consideration.
Teaching staffs may be affected.
Defense industries can take highly
trained instructors away from the
schools. Others may be called for
military training. AS the number
of men teachers drops, as it did
in the pre-World War draft period,
there will be many more teaching
positions for women. This indicates
also the possible return of many
married teachers to the active
ranks.
Whatever we anticipate for the
days ahead, We definitely know that
education has masterful job to do
this year-a task that requires the
active cooperation and service not
only of educators but also of every
person who shares the freedoms of
our democratic Nation.

Southeastern University will open
It's fall term tomorrow, when classes
will get under way in both its
schools of law and accountancy.
Entrance requirements to the
law school call for completion of
go semester hours of academic work
at an approved college. Until Sep
tember, 1889, when the more strin-
gent entrance requirements became
effective, students without the two
year pre-legal education were per-
mitted to enroll in the law school.
DR.. James A. Bell, president of the
university, said that because of the
stricter requirements effective last
r. fall, the freshman law class was ap-
proximately 80 per cent smaller than
i on the previous year.
Need 4-Year Course.
re Students studying law in the early
morning classes at 6:45 am. or in
the evening classes at $50 pm. are
required to attend school four years
to become eligible for the LIB
degree. Those attending day classes
at $40 am, however may complete
the necessary work for a degree
IN three years, since they devote
1 nearly all their time to studies.
Requirements for entrance to the
! school of accountancy remain the
; same-completion OF a standard
four-year high school course. Glasses
. are scheduled at 6:45 am, $50 pm.
or at 7:20 pm.
Southeastern University is CO.

year the enrolment of women stu
dents increases. Last year 1t was
estimated that 20 per cent of the
student body were women.
Joseph K Meyer. local tax con-
sultant, is dean of the school of &C
countancy and George w. Offutt,
local attorney, is dean of the school
of law.
The university has a faculty of
64. which will be divided into four
shifts, one shift to take charge of
early morning classes, the second the
regular day classes, the third the
afternoon classes and the fourth
the evening classes, DR.. Bell an
hounced.
Glasses Arranged for Workers.
DR.. Bell said classes have been
arranged so men or women who
work may attend morning classes
before reporting to work, or may
select the afternoon classes to at
tend after their regular working
hours. Southeastern University is
the only institution in this country,
he said, offering regular classes in
work towards degrees as early as
GAS O'Clock in the morning.
The early morning classes were
started in the university's school of
law Is years ago and rapidly grew
in popularity. Six years ago similar
classes were started in the school
of accountancy and last year the
morning classes were as large as
those held in the afternoon.
