Would Teach Driving
to Cut Motor Deaths

High School Courses Urged
as fcesult of Survey.
N'ew York.—Spread of automobile
driving and safety courses In high
schools as a means of cutting down thj?
high death rate from motor mishaps
Is advocated as a result of a national
survey conducted on the subject by the
Woman’s Home Companion, which
makes a stirring appeal to parents to
insist on safety education for their
children.
Parents are also urged to back up
what can be taught in schools spurred
on by the realization that “at the pres
ent rate! one out of every three chil
dren faces the probability of death or
maiming from motor accidents in the
course of a lifetime.”
"Schools are doing far too little to
teach safe driving,” the survey reveals,
"in fact most of them give no automo
bile safety training. When they do try
to teach highway safety, they often
find themselves handicapped by having
to offset the poor Influence of parents
As children approach driving age they
should be taught in the high schools,
by experienced and qualified persons,
how to drive safely. There is no good
reason for not giving driving and high
way safety instruction to every hig.j
school student in the country. The es
sence of the had driving problem would
be attacked, for not only do the rec
ords show that drivers of high school
age are poor operators, but from our
high schools will come most of the
future oj»erators of motor cars.

"Steps have been taken toward pro

students in nine states, the District of
Columbia ami the city of New York.
Several'of the states have been doing

training, credit is allowed to students
taking the safety courses.

tween highway conditions before and
after enactment of traffic laws.
“There should be more of that sort
of thing. ,
"The most effective instruments for
improving the situation, so far as the
younger generations are concerned,
seem to be education and example. The
latter is of first importance to parents
because with operation of motor vehi
cles, as with other phases of family
life, the child is deeply influenced by
what the parent does. If you are care
less and teckless with your car, yon
cannot expect your children to drive
much differently. If you scoff at traffic
laws your child cannot help agreeing
with you that such laws are silly and
not to be taken seriously. If you are
a parent who tells your boy or girl to*
watch out the rear window for motor
cycle officers while you challenge death
by stepping hard on the throttle, you
haVe no right to expect youth to he
law-abiding.
Death Toll 36,000.
“Approximately 30,000 persons were
killed in this country by automobiles
in 1034, an all-time record! During
that year one human being was killed
by automobiles in the United States
every 15 minutes, and somebody in
Jured every 31 seconds!
“No furlher statistics are necessary.
If only every parent In the country
would think about these simple fig
ures! If they were any kind of men
or women they would do something
to remedy the tragic situation. Once
a sufficient number of parents realize
what it means, some sort of solution
will be forthcoming.
“Members of parent teacher associa
tions. and those parents who try to he
an influence for good in their com
munities through service clubs or other
organizations, can do a great deal tc
arouse other parents to action.

AMAZE A.MINUTE
SCIENTIFACTS — BY ARNOLD
In the poem, “Abt Vogler,” Robert
Browning builds a temple of music for
the poet that he
may express his
soul's Inspiration in
extemporizing upon
an instrument of
his own invention.
On wings of music
he soars to realms
far above this mun
dane world. a“nd
from that “retreat”
in the upper air
of reality, he looks
down upon the
struggle and the
suffering of the hu
man race, and sees
It as God and the angels see It, The
trials and heartaches on earth seem
broken arcs to him, hut "in the heaven
a perfect round.” He seems to sense a
spiritual harmony in which blend, in
perfect unison, all the discordant notes
of earth. He has heard the music of
that “sovereign harmony which takes
unto itself every wandering tone.”
The poem is of far more value than
a sudden flash of Imagery and beauty.
It moves with a spirit intensely per
sonal and speaks a message exceed-

ingly practical. It has words of good
counsel to all who will take the time
to read and understand It.
While much of the inspiration which
tires the souls of poets and artists
comes from that world “which impinges
on this world of ours.” yet we do not
have to he poets nor artists to climb
those heights from which we. too, may
look down upon our personal strug
gles and apprehend them from the van
tage ground of a calm detachment.
Many times we are too near our prob
lem to thoroughly understand it. much
less discover a solution for It. The
beauty of an oil painting is obliterated
when we stand too near it. We must
view It at the right distance if Its
technique is to live sublimely in our
vision and its tone be more than a
mere daub of paint. Just so with our
serious human problems. When we get
away from them and analyze them
apart from the grind and strain of our
daily environment, they do not seem
so serious or impossible of satisfactory
solution. Many a vexing problem, a
“broken nrc” as It were, is made to
become a “perfect round” when we go
apart and become sufficiently quiet and
silent. Then, In an instant, we see how
we can ride safely through the storm
to some haven of safety. —
Some tell us there is a solution for
every problem if we could only find it.
The solution is more likely to come to
us if we look down upon the problem
from a point of view above and beyond
the problem itself.
From a mountain top we can see
farther because the atmosphere is
clearer and there are no obstacles to
obstruct our vision. So It is with our
thoughts and emotions when we climb

ment away from the stress and Strain

when they have swing-legs, require a
