STRIKING FIGURES
Fewer Children Injured in Street Accidents AUCKLAND CAMPAIGN By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, December 14. Striking evidence of the success of the Auckland City Council’s efforts to educate children in “road sense” is contained in the report of the chief traffic inspector. In 1929, when the scheme was started, 412 children were victims of road accidents; this year to date the total is 61, the smallest on record. This year 33 schools were visited and instruction 7 given to 14,000 children. Many of this year’s accidents were due to boys cycling and failing to give the signal when turning to the right at street intersections.
Most of the visits of instructions to schools were made in March, when there are new pupils, and November, before the long school holidays.
