38 WINNETKA TALK December 12, 1925 CALL EDUCATION BEST REMEDY FOR ACCIDENTS (Continued from Page 37) Education Greatest Force "Experienced safety workers are unanimous in their opinion that edu- cation is the greatest force in accident prevention work. The figures on Cook county accidents substantiate this opinion. Six is the age when the greatest number of accidents 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 because the children have not been educated in the precepts of safety, for, glancing at the records of deaths at the age of seven we find that after a year in school where safety lessons are given daily, the deaths drop from thirty-eight to nineteen, conclusive proof of the effectiveness of safety education. These figures al- so prove that there is need for educa- tion in the home. Children should be taught the dangers of the street be- fore they are sent to school. It is com- mon to hear speed condemned as the root of all accidents, and consequently it comes as a surprise to those who have never made a study of the prob- lem to note that the vast majority of accidents to children in Cook county occur on city streets. The boulevards of Chicago and the suburban towns bear a vast volume of traffic moving at greater speed than the traffic on The Boot Shoppe --Say it This Year with Comfy's Luxuriously Comfortable SATIN MULES D'ORSAY'S FELT HYLO SLIPPERS BREAKFAST BOOTS MOTOR BOOTS in SATIN and LEATHER QUILTED SATIN BOUDOIR SLIPPERS It will be a delight to see the charming array of new styles.

They will insure true appreciation that a thoughtful gift always brings. the city streets, yet 190 children were killed on city streets and but six on boulevards. One hundred and forty- eight of the children killed were boys, which shows that the games played by boys on the streets, their inclina- tion to hitch on cars and trucks, and their habits of ride mooching, are 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 school that will bring before the minds of the children 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 ac- cidents, and that the problem is a two-sided one involving the thought of motorist and pedestrian. When this idea is more thoroughly broadcast we shall have fewer freak remedies, and more constructive safety work."
