School Safety Rally
Hears Plea 10 Teach
Walking Habits
There Are rs Injuries
For Every Fatality
Meeting Is Reminded

Persons interested in the Districts
school traffic safety program are too
prone to measure success or failure
in terms of fatalities only, DR..
Robert w. Eaves. principal OF the
Thomson> School, told school
safety meeting at the Phyllis
Wheatley Y. w. C. A. yesterday.
I'VE must remember that for
every death there are 25 or 80 inju-
ries,' DR.. Eaves asserted, adding
that such injuries have a lasting
mental effect on many children.
He outlined three ways OF COM
batting what he termed the citys
alarming accident rate" These
were:
l. Teach the younger children,
those roughly under the age OF II,
correct walking habits
2. Instruct the next age group,
those of II, II or 13, safety rules in
connection with bicycle riding. roller
skating or any other form Of amuse-
ment that brings them into the
streets.
Start Program Early.
3. Provide automobile driving
courses for the children in the "ad-
venturous age" those around l3
years of age or older.
The meeting. held under the aus
pices of the American Automobile
Association, was attended by repre-
sentatives of that organization. the
Department of Vehicles and Traf-
fic. the school system and police
force.
Calling the meeting to order,
Washington I. Cleveland. District
manager for the A. A A. told those
attending that traffic with respect
to schools has taken a turn for
the worse" While the elementary
schools have co-operated fully in the
safety program. there has been a
tendency toward fragrant violation
in the Junior and senior high
schools, he said
Inspector Arthur E. Miller, head
of the police accident prevention
unit, told the meeting that of the
five children under IA years of age
killed in Washington traffic since
the start of the school year. only one
was actually going to or coming

have been injured. he reported.
Harold c. Warner. principal OF
Hine Junior High School. spoke OF
the excellent effect" on the safety
program resulting from the training
of schoolboy patrolmen during the
summer at the Police Boys Club
camp.
Parents Need Instruction.
DR.. Robert Haycock. first assistant
superintendent of schools, said the
reason school traffic conditions are
becoming more dangerous is be-
cause OF the influx Of new people
In one District school, he explained
full go per cent of the pupils were
new to the District this year.
Joseph G. Logan of Shaw Junior
High School bore out DR.. Haycock's
observation with the statement thai
the situation has become more seri.
Gus mot because of laXity but be.
cause of new problems"
M. o. Eldridge, assistant director
Of vehicles and traffic, reviewed tht
facts in the case of each child killed
here since the start of the year, re-
marking that only in very few case!
were the children doing what they
should have been doing.
Police Sergt. Joseph Harrington
said the prime need was to work ou
a proper approach to the parents
pointing out that the old practice o.
the parent holding the child's hanc
in traffic has been reversed.

The significance of MacArthur's appoint

constituted warning that the United States

that, it signifed that we intend to play a

In 1890 he was made Chief of Staff of the

pyrotechnic hve-year period as head of our

Commonwealth of the Philippines: would the
General act as military adviser to the Com
monwealth? 1t was characteristic that it took
a conference of less than five minutes for
him to reach his decision. Yes, he would take
