The "resolution" is pôrtrayed *on' a blackboard, and several children' are shown :signiing their names underneatb it., In 'a letter wbich sccompafiied the posters the motor 'club safety department urged teachers to present sucb -a resolution to their pupile and to have it signlei by them.> The cid wbo *signis-bis name to the reso- lution to be careful oii the streets during 1931 will be more likely to remùember the> resolution and to* act upon-it--than would the child who made the saine resolution in a Iess dramat'ic manner, the let- ter pointed out.
