SAFETY FIRST
SCHOOLS CAMPAIGN
SUCCESS IN AUCKLAND
(By Telegraph.-Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. Striking evidence of success of tho 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 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 instructibn to schools are made in March, when there are new pupils, and ' November, before the long school holidays.
