“ROAD - SENSE” IN CHILDREN
AN AUCKLAND EXPERIMENT BIG DECLINE IN ACCIDENTS (Per United Press Association.) AUCKLAND, December 14. Striking evidence of the success of the City Council’s efforts to educate children in a " road* sense ” is contained in a report by the chief traffic inspector to-day. In 1929, when the scheme was started, 412 children were the 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. The majority of this year’s accidents was due to boys cycling and failing to give the signal when turning to the right at street intersections. Most of the visits of instruction ■to the schools are made in March, when there are new pupils, and in November, before the long school holidays.
