TRAFFIC RULES.
EDUCATING CHILDREN
Captain A. H. Blowers, headmaster of a school at Ipswich, Suffolk, England, h£s practical ideas about teaching his pupils traffic sense. Every day he makes them ride round and round the police constable or. point duty at one of the worst traffic corners in the town.
Captain Blowers was once run into by a boy cyclist as Tie was on his way to school. That made him determine to do what he could to teach his scholars the rule of the road.
"I decided to organise classes in road safety and etiquette, so every day my scholars study the hijjhway code," he told an interviewer. "Then I take them to the policeman on point duty and make them ride round and round him, }rivin<r the proper signals. Afterwards I ride round the constable, making intentional mistakes which the scholars are expected to pick out hack at school."
