The significance of this large and rapidly growing gro^p of safety-trained young drivers, who usually have only one-third as many accidents as untrained students, was noted by Julien H. Harvey, manager of the association's accident prevention department, as he announced its fourth annual awards to twentyseven states and the District of Columbia for noteworthy progress in developing driver education courses in their secondary schools. School-trained drivers in fortyeight s&tes now comprise ihore than 3 percent of the nation's 60,- 000,000 drivers, he said, and are increasing at the rate of 660,000 year. ThiB is twice the rate of four years ago, whefa the association 1 instituted its annual national driver education award program granting recognition to states which made or maintained marked progress in driver education courses, and to Individual schools in those states. Ten states have won the association'* superior awards for offering courses iu driver education during the 1950-51 academic year in "at least 50 percent of their secondary schools, with not less than half of the eligible sthdents enrolled. These states are: Arizona, California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. Seventeen states and the District of Columbia will receive * meritorious awards- for- shrink driver education courses in at least 25 percent of their secondary schools, with not less thaa 26 percent of eligible students enrolled. The seventeen states are: Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Texai, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washing- ^ ton and West Virginia. "Driver education has beep found to be one of the best an|» wers to the problem of reduclrijjl - the growing toll of death, injury and d&m&ge on the highways," declared Mr. Harvey. "The growing acceptance of these courses and the" steadily Increasing numbers ^ of boys and girls trained in them in the Ways of traffic safety for themselves and others offer reftl hope that in the not too distant - future every youth will receive" driver education in school before,' . taking the wheel of the family - automobile or driving his or hei* own car. Were it not for the pro- <\ gress driver education has made," I shudder to think what the acet- . dent..toll might be today." These Ads! Don't.
