School Safety
Being Urged
There were 253 school boys
or girls injured by automobiles
in 1937 and 103 of these died.

can be estimated, were prac¬

These deaths were all u necei

in every city where a school
boy patrol has been in effect it
has completely stopped school
accidents. For instance, Atlan¬
ta has not had a single school
child to be killed near a school
since the school hoy patrol
went into effect several years
ago.
The Georgia Slate Patrol is
going to cooperate with the
teachers and principals of
every chool in the slate where
a school patrol is desired. The
