SCHOOL PATROLS FOR STREET CROSSINGS.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —The 'New Zealand Motor World ' shows pictures of school patrols attending to smaller school children at pedestrian road crossings, and I fully agree that it is the right method. All the years I have lived in Maori Hill, not once has a teacher or anybody else seen that the school children coming, out of Maori Hill School get safely across the road. I made it my business to note carefully the number of children coming out of school on Monday at noon, and I counted 54 children and one teacher. Fifty-one children and one teacher came out of the school gate, crossed the road in Passmore Crescent to the footpath, and again crossed the road facing Johnson's store, Highgate —neither of the crossings made was marked off as an official crossing. Two children kept on the same side of Passmore Crescent as the school gate because they live around the corner in Highgate; one child came up the footpath on the same side as the school, and crossed the road at the official marked crossing, and went down Highgate past Johnson's shop. One child out of 54 crossed at the official crossing, so that proves the crossing is at the wrong place. Traffic Department please note my letter, and send someone along for proof of what I have said.—l am. etc., Ino. February 28.
