PATROL
AT SCHOOL
One of Today's Most Popular
School Safety Activities
Is Safety Patrol
STARTED 80 YEARS AGO

According to the Delaware Safe
ty Council, one of today's most
popular school safety activities is
the school safety patrol. Started
over 80 years ago, it is now estim-
ated that in $500 communities
there are more than $4,000 boys
and girls who help protect the lives
of over eight million classmates.
This number is constantly increas-
ing as educational people are rec
ognizing its important contribution
to the protection of young peoples
lives and it's character development
implications.
The need for school safety pa
trolls was recognized in many sec
tions of the country at the same
time. Delaware was one of the
early pioneers in this endeavor.
With the extensive increase of
vehicular traffic on streets and
highways in the last several years,
the problem of safe crossings for
school children has become per-
picking one. This is especially true
where such traffic is heavy on
crossings near school buildings.
The original purpose for the organ
ization of school safety patrols was
in order to alleviate this condition
and protect the school children
from street and highway accidents
on their way to and from school.
Coincident with the primary OBJ
jective of this organization, an op.
portunity arose for building char
acter, as patrol work develops such
personal traits as self-control, self
discipline, mental alertness, court
esy, consideration, and sympa-
thetic understanding of other peo-
piles points of view. Thus, it early
became apparent that the funda-
mentals underlying the school safe
ty patrol were a contribution to
sound education and good citizen
ship in addition to the value of it's
primary objective-the protection
of child life.
The function of the safety patrol
is to instruct, direct and control
the members of the student body
in crossing the streets at or near
the schools. Patrols should not be
charged with the responsibility of
directing vehicular traffic, nor to be
allowed to do so, other than sig
Mailing to a motorist who ap-
proaches the crossing after the stu
dent pedestrians have left the curb.
In conclusion, it can be fully ac-
cepted that the School Safety Pa
troll has definite and important
place in the co-curricular activities
of the school program. Its contri-
buttons in the saving of lives of
young people and citizenship train
ing justify its full acceptance in
the educational program. The Del
aware Safety Council provides free
all equipment necessary to train
and equip the School Safety Patrol.

AT U. OF D. HIGH
2,202 Undergraduates Regist
er For Fall Semester Top
ping Registration Record
FEWER VETERANS

For the first time in it's history,
the University of Delaware's un-

2,20O, Registrar William H. Bohn-
ing has reported. Four students
from Smyrna are among approx
mately 600 freshmen to register.
They are Sally E. Bodley, Alice
Jane Matthews John c. Casey, Ruth
E. Gooden. Final registration fig
ures place Delaware's students for
the fall semester at 2,202, Mr..
Bohning said. The total includes
undergraduates only, and is apart
from 141 on-campus graduate stu
dents working toward advanced
degrees, and some 1,100 persons
enrolled in the Academic Extension
Division. Some of the latter, how
ever are counted among the un-
dergraduate or graduate enroll
ment. The present freshman class
is the largest of the university's
four undergraduate classes, with
$50 students classified in its ranks.
There are 548 sophomores, SIC
juniors, 393 seniors, and rs with
special and irregular standing.
Three-fourths of the students
(1,682) are men, and one-quarter
(520) are women. There are few
er veterans than at any time since
the war. The 995 who are enrolled
constitute only 45 per cent of the
student body, the first time that
former service men have been in
the minority since the war. Of
the University's five schools, the
School of Arts and Science contin-
ues the largest with 1103 students,
of whom about 20 per cent are
in Business Administra-
tion. The School of Engineering
lists 662 students, all of whom are
men; there are 217 in the School
of Education; las in the School of
Agriculture; and rs women in the
School of Home Economics. Of the
141 graduate students, "a are in
the School of Arts and Science; 35
in Engineering; eight in Agricul-
ture, and four in Education.
of these students, or 81
per cent, are veterans. The prev
ious maximum number of under
graduates enrolled at the Univers-
ity of Delaware were the 2149 stu
dents who registered a year ago.
In 1916, at the start Of the post
war increase in college enrollments,
there were some LOO students at
Delaware, compared with fewer
than 500 for the previous year, and
a pre-war maximum Of $50.
