INCONSISTENCY “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little | schools. minds, adored by little statesmen, and philosophers and divines.” This famous dictum of the Saga of Concord, Ralph Waldo Emerson, came to mind when we read that President Truman had urged members of Con- gress to do what they think to be right—that is, vote according to their convictions—on the basis of the facts at hand. To those who regard inconsistency as a mark of greatness that advice should incease the President’s stature as a statesman, for only a few days ago he threatened to punish members of Congress who voted against Administration bills by depriving them of patronage. Since that threat still stands, it follows that the Presitent’s brand of inconsistency takes the form of simultaneously indorsing irreconcilable codes of conduct. We feel sure that Emerson would not applaud this kind of inconsistency, which is merely a way of curry- were pedestrians. In either case, their age appears to tell the story. Young people are certainly more agile pedestrians than their elders. But they are not as careful. Young | drivers ought to be more skillful than their elders; ;and probably in most cases they are. But their judg- ment is not as good and their discretion not ‘as great. | | This is confirmed by the national statistics gath- ered by the Travelers Insurance Co. Last year 39,000 | drivers were involved in fatal accidents. Of these, 27 | per cent were in the age group 18-25, although only 20 | per cent of all drivers are in this age group. Two yea'r.': | earlier, this age group accounted for less than 25 per | cent of fatal accidents. ' | In other words, the accident rate for young drivers | is increasing, by comparison with older persons. And this may well be considered in relation to the fact that only a handful of the schools of the United States provide any instruction in the operation of automobiles. | The majority of schools do not even have organized | instruction in safety practices. We are not lagging so badly as that in our local But certainly our own traffic fatalities, when interpreted in terms of age groups, are a warning that |we must give more attention to young drivers, and | also young pedestrians. | Maybe we have nothing to fear but fear, as some | contend, but there are times when fear scares us | nearly to death. Y “It bores children to listen to ‘lectures’ fromy par- ents,” asserts a psychologist. Wonder where he got the idea that children listen to lectures by parents. You may steal a man’s thunder, but you can't steal his lightning with which he can produce more and perhaps louder thunder.
