BOOK ON SAFETY

S DESIGNED FOR USE IN SCHOOLS,

Local Man and Anderson Teacher Collaborate | On Volume.

A textbook designed for adoption | in the eighth grade safety educa-| tion courses to be established in Indiana schools next February, has] been completed by William A. Evans, Indianapolis School Safety | Education Director, and Miss Mattie B. Fry, Anderson Instruction Supervisor. { The book, believed to be one of the first of its kind written in the last 15 years, is entitled, “Safety, Your Problem and Mine.” A safety education course was made mandatory in all Indiana schools by a law passed by the Legislature this year. It goes into effect the second semester, 1937-38. According to Mr. Evans, the book is to be submitted to the State School Board for consideration this fall. He said he understands other authors may be preparing similar texts for the safety course.

Authors Did Research

“Safety, Your Problem and Mine.” is the result of three vears’ research by the authors. Several chapters of book were given a practical test in the Anderson schools last semester, Mr. Evans said. Although traffic safety is stressed, Mr. Evans said it was taken in consideration that only 34 per cent of last’ vear’s accident fatalities re- | sulted from automobile mishaps. | The book is divided into the fol-| lowing sections: Safety in the Home, Safety in the School, Safety | in the City, Safety on the Farm,| Safety Out-of-Doors, School Safety | Organizations, Safety on Special | Occasions, Safety in Walking, Safety in Driving and Safety in Other Means of Transportation. i

Stress Safety in Walking

Pedestrian education is stressed, Mr. Evans said, because statistics show that 63 per cent of eighthgrade pupils killed in automobile accidents were not motorists. He said the book analyzes children’s safety problems, taking into consideration that the majority of children involved in accidents here during the last four years were injured in unsupervised play. “We must stop preaching to children about safety. We must furnish them with information on how to | work and play safely. Our book | was prepared to meet this need,” | Mr. Evans commented. The textbook has 186 pages and | is published by Lyons & Carnahan.’

Several hours later Victor was rushed to City Hospital in an ambulance, his breathing sustained by artificial respiration during the short trip. He responded quickly after being placed in the City Hgs-

Meanwhile, Glenn was spending his third day in the “iron lung.” He is the son of State Senator I. Floyd Garrott.

There are only two mechanical
