Asked what she expected to wear for the inauguration, she id she didn't know, and when politics was mentioned she had noth- ing at all to say. Then the talk turned to children, and she issued her only statement hile in Chicago. “My children—yes, T can tell you all about them,” she said. “I don't mind discussing them any time with any one.

Sees Problem Growing. “I believé this problem is one of serfous import and, as time goes on, will become even more so. I believe, further, that safety education should be inculcated into the minds of our school .children, to the end that the coming generation will be more care- ful and practice safety both in walk- ing and in the operation of automo- biles.” In commenting today upon his offer the judge said: “Washington so far this year has had nine deaths and 327 injured to its discredit. What can we do to remedy this appalling condition? “I am a firm believer in trafic edu- cation in its application to safety. Both pedestrians and autoists should be educated to be more careful.

I attended several of these sessions and was greatly inter- ested in the earnestness of both pu- pils and geachers. My experience and observation is that a great majority of our drivers have not a thorough knowledge of our regulations and that constant repetition and educa- tion of them are necessary. ‘Wants Safety Taught. fany jurisdictions are teaching safety in the schools, and 1 think it should be taught here. A few schools have junfor safety councils, particu- larly the Grant School. I recently at- tended one of their meetings and was much impressed with the talks by the children upon safety and preven- tion of accidents. They recited how dangerous it was to skate in crowded streets, to run into the streets for balls, how one should be careful in crossing the streets, especially from behind parked automobiles, and gen- erally the foolishness of jay walking. To cap the climax they had a tableau wherein actors, the students, came on with bandaged heads gnd arms and on crutches showing the result of non-obeyance of safety rules. It was very impressive. This small offer is only an ex- pression of my idea as to the impor- tance of the subject, and I trust it will result in bringing the matter to the thoughtful attention of the school authorities BUSINESS HIGH ALUMNI PLAN VAUDEVILLE SHOW Association Also Proposes Reunion of Classes—Committees on Ar- ° rangements Named.
