Safety migh-t be termed the desire for' preservation of self, plus a con- cern for the welfare af others. }iow ta bring about this double -con- sciausness is. a mnany-sided task. Nýot that.everyane wauld necessarily risk his lufe, buta surprisingly, large numnber of people are more 'fool-, hardy than brave. Childreni need:ta be t aûght the 'difference between these two termns. They *need ta realize that ta risk a life is being folhardy and ta tryt save a. life 1s being brave. Makie Child Respgnsible In-aur safety 'education wvork in. the public sehools we are trying ta. take .special care ta make children cautiaus, yet flot fearful. Childrený -ehett44-e taught early.how ta cross streets and then be allowed ta use their knoxledge. This teaching shoùld begin before children. came ta sehool. -A gaod way is for; mothers tQ walk with their childreni and say to the children: "Vbu tel me whcn it is safe ta cross the street." In this way the responsi- bîlity for right action is placed on the children and after -a number of such experiences they should be' able ta cross streets alone. Whenever a child does anything that might prove ta end disastrously he must be shown the safe action. In the- matter of safety edixcatian a hand book- of rues*lie wou±u D unpr-epared for real emergencies,- for his rules very likely. would be. mixed up in his mitd. How;ever, we cannot always leave safety ta chance, for the persan whose bacon, catches on fire and threatens ta bunthe kitchen cannot afford ta take the time ta then look up the appropriate rule for putting out fires of this kind.
