I have long realized that national safety be brought about primarily through education and have therefore watched with interest the- success of inculcated this, message Into the minds of the young. Much of this success hag been in the school room. Safety education in the school, however, is only beginning and the efforts of your motor clubs to get safety lessons into the curricula of all schools are altogether praiseworthy'."

New Tersey, North Caro Una, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming, require the teaching of safety or traffic regulations in the public schools," continued Culberson.

"There is a growing sentiment in other states for similar required lessons in public schools, and every one connected with the automotive Industry, working 4 through clubs and other organizations, should nut shoulder to the wheel; in the endeavor to make safety 'education a required subject in all puhlio school throughout the country." .1.
