THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

EDUCATE CHILDREN TO AVOID INJURIES, PLEA OF PRINCIPAL " (By Associated Press) MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept. 27 Most deaths and ' injuries caused through public utilltr accidents can be eliminated by safety education In the public schools, according to Dr. E.- George Payne, principal of the Harris Teachers' .College, of St. Louis, Mo., and

vice-chairman of the educational sec

tion of the National Safety Council, who spoke before the ninth annual safety congress today. The proper training of children In

matters of accident prevention exerts

a strong Influence not only upon them,

but reaches and influences their parents, Dr. Payne said. If the children are properly drilled in safety, the whole population will in a short time be educated In this important matter, he declared, for the children of today

are the adults of tomorrow. It should be comparatively simple matter to train children to guard

against every accident, he said, be'cause there are only a limited number of situations, perhaps thirty in all. In which-accidents happen to the public.

Causes of Death.

"In the years 1917, 1918 and 119. in 8t. Louis, forty children between the ages of five and sixteen were killed in public utility accidents. In every

case, and in about 1,000 similar acci

dents which did not result fatally,

SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND MONDAY, SEPT. 27, 1920.

Watch Your Step! Take No Chances At least 149 persons will be killed In accidents today. How do we know? The National Safety Council says so. And the Council ought to know, because it has just completed with the co-operation of the coroners of 210 cities and counties, the secretaries of 35 local safety councils, and the 8000 members of the National , Council compilation of a casualty list for the week of August 22 to 28, inclusive. This list, prepared for the puprose of analysis at the Ninth Annual Safety Congress which opened at Milwaukee today, presents some rather startling revelations. It shows, for instance, that on different days of the week from five to ten men are killed by accidents for each woman so killed; that three to nine boys are killed in accidents for every girl so killed. The casualty list for Sunday, August 22, shows 24 deaths caused by drowning, 22 by automobile accidents, 20 by railroad accidents, 12 by falls of either material or persons, 8 by street cars, 4 by electrocution and 61 by miscellaneous causes. Carelessness on this day took the lives of 104 men, 15 women, 23 boys under 16 years of age and 7 girls under 16 years of age.

years ago to make his fortune and has been successful in buying a home and accumulating a comfortable bank account. Three months ago he sent for the girl to keep her promise and she arrived here Friday.

BOARD OPENS OFFICE. WASHINGTON, Sept. 27. The national community board, incorporated.

according to its founders to "act as attorney for the public," has opened headquarters here. . Its Immediate alms were announced as including the "development of local communities into democracies with school houses as capitols, and to put Into operation the nation's original and expanding Ideals of justice and democracy."

there were only four situations involved," Dr. Payne said. "The first was stealing rides on street cars, second, running into the streets while playing and being struck by street cars, third from contact with live wires, generally from grasping dangling wires, arid fourth, from playing on railroad tracks. "In the case of every accident the children were out of direct control of all those who are accustomed to exercise authority over them, teachers, parents and policemen. It is evident

then that the problem is an educational one, and a very simple one. It is a matter of developing control within the children themselves the development of habits, knowledge and attitudes toward four specific situations."
