38 WILMETTE the city streets, yet 190 children . were killed on city streets and but stx on boulevards. One hundred and fortyeight of the children killed were boys, which shows that the games played by boys on the streets, their inclination to hitch on cars and trucks, and their habits of ride mooching, arc highly dangerous. The hours when children are at play are the most dangerous of the day. From these facts it is logical to conclude that any system of education in the homes and in the sc hool that will bring before the minds of the chi ldren the danger of playing in the streets, of crossing streets in the middle of the block , and of crossing streets forgetful of traffic, will result in lives saved. The figures prove that education will reduce. accidents, and that the problem ts a two-sided one invoh·ing the thought of motorist and pedestrian. \Vhen thi idea is more thoroughly broadcast we sha ll have fewer freak 1cmedies, and more construct:vc safety work."

The figures on Cook county accidents substantiate this opinion. Six is the age when the greatest number of accident s occur to children. It is well known that most children start to school at this age, and it is evident that the high death rate occurs beca use the children haY e not been educated in ·th e precepts of safety, for, glancing at th e records of death s at the age of seven we find that after a year in sc hoo l w he:-c safe ty les so ns are given dail y. the deaths drop from thirt y-eight to nin eteen. conclusive proof of the effec tiv ene ss of safety education.
