There is a suggestion of a g-ro\ving caution on the part of drh·e rs. of care for .the safety of others upon the hig}n,·ay. and of concern for their O\vn \velfare. The reckless driver, except \\·ith the Yery young. has fe\v friends. That there i~ roon1 still for considerable itnprovetnent of the situation is terribly obYious. One need only read the daily press to be assured that there is still too little caution and too tnuch indifference to the public safety. It is a tnistake. however, to regard the driYer as alway-. to blame in the case of accident. Ver): often the pedestrian con1·· pletely disregards the requirements of · safety. In the case of accident to children, tnore often than not the arivcr tnust be held hlatneless. But that does not rest11re a child tnaitned. or killed. nor does it remove frotn the driver the a\vful consciousness that he has heen the instntn1ent, though tttl\Yitting. of bringing- sorro\v and suffering upon others. Efforts such as that being n1ade in the Citizens' Child Safety tnoven1ent should be furthered by eyery possible co-operation on the part of parents, teachers. and traffic men in the community. Education of children in the practices that tnake for safety, impressing upon then1. as \veil as upon those "·ho drive, the need for constant caution, is the only \Yay to bring about a tnaterial tn1..>. proYetnen~ of the situation. th~t in health in~truction.

Today there i less and le s. pattence wtth con eli tions that n1ake for the lowered cfficiencv and the decreased joy in living that arc part of bad living condition . lVIor~ at1(l more young people are being impressed with the value of sound bodies and sound minds as equipment for the business of liv ing. Children are not properly trained unless they are taught the principles upon which good health rest and brought to that attitude of n1ind that makes it a tnoral ob-ligation to rare for the body in such a way as to bring it to its highest state of efficiency and to observe those cotnmunitv restrictions that are designed to protect the public health.

Rald,vin, head of the Bureau of Child Research, operated under the auspice of the University of Io\va. It is a prophecy \vhich tnost people \vould be sorrv to have ful fi 11ed. Tl;e An1en'-an home has been one of the chief stone. in the foundation of the structure of Atnerican li fc. It is a . upport to our institutions which we . hould protect against the tnani fold influences seeking to undermine it. 1\Iost important among the factors that are changing the spirit of young Atnerica today is the \\'eakening of home influence upon our boys and girls, the gro\ving laxity in that hotne training which is the essential in sound character building. Our tendency has been to give n1ore and more of th<' traintng of children into the hands of the \Vomen \Yho direct their early education. ~forals and n1anner~, a _ \vell as reading and flrctnen and policetnen protect us against loss of life and property. Were it not for them. enemies of society, in the shape of burglars, holdup men, and tnoral perverts would rush in upon tlS from Chicag-o and other cro\vded centers and rapidly dcpopulat all our north shore towns. . . \nd fires starting in one district \Youlcl sweep away unchecked aln1ost every home. Thc:;e tnen. guardians of peace and property. by their activities and even by their very presence "keep things straight" for us . They patrol our streets and are on the lookout for trouble of every sort. \ Ve expect them to face danger and death. .:\ncl they do. It is no uncommon thing for a policen1an or fireman to risk his life in his endeavor to save the life and propertY of a fello\v citizen. " For .such ~ crvice as this they cannot be paid. . :\Ioney is no recompense for self sacrifice. The loss of a good hu band and father i~ irreparable. But we CAN sho\v a proper appreciation of their contributions to our peace and happines . \Y e can cooperate with thetn. When they sugge::,t · that \Ve leave a light in our home. \Vhen \\·e arc absent at night we can use the sugge tion. When they call our attention to the need of having lights lighted on our parked cars, ·we can easily remetnber to do this sitnple thing.
