Teachers Grateful
For Cooperation
(Written for The Chronicle)
We, the Classroom Teachers asso
ciation, wish to express our sincere
thanks to all pupils and teachers of
the Thornwell, Joanna* Lydia, State
Training school and Clinton public
schools for their hearty cooperation
in making display posters announc
ing the coming of Mrs. Sara Cald
well, president of the Nktional Edu
cation association.
We are also mpst graceful to the
merchants of Lydia, Joanna, Lau
rens and Clinton for giving space in
their business places to display the
posters.
We realize those who had a part
in making the posters gave much
thought and time to the work. We
appreciate the part each contributed
to help get the information before
the public.
All posters were judged, by a com
mittee, who selected the three best
posters. First place went to State
Training school, second to Florida
Street school, and third to Academy
Street school.

^Jhtnk it Over;
W E RECEIVED a pamphlet
a few days ago from Dr.
Cieoifre B. Lawson, of Roa
noke, Va., discussing motor traffic
deaths in the United States in 1952.
TWe figures given are very inter
esting, and their publication here
Many cause some of the speeders and
reckless drivers to think when they
get behind the wheel on. the open
highway.
THE AVERAGE number of mo
tor traffic deaths per HKkftOO.OOQ ve
hicle miles traveled is 7.3 in the
United States. In Rhode Island it
is 2.4 and in Connecticut, 3. The
highest in any state in the north
eastern and New England states is
5.5 in New York.
EVERY STATE south of the
Mason and Dixoiv line, including
the southwest is higher than any of
the above states. The traffic deaths
range from G.t» in Maryland to 12.8
in South Carolina. Only our state
and New Mexico (10.8) are above
10. Texas is only C.7.
WE ARE NOT trying to solve
the problem, only giving the figures.
But doesn’t this look as if some
radical change is needed in our
traffit regulations or speed laws? It
is a matter that should give us
grave concern.
