: TEACHER SUGGESTS
Miss Yerkes Writes Mayor
That This Traffic Rule
Would Save Lives of
Many Children.
Miss Helen K Yerkes, principal nf Hie
Walton School, JSth nnd Huntingdon
streets, hns sent i letter to Mntur Hl.ink-
enburg suggesting the enactment of legis
lation requiring nil vehicles to move slow
ly In the neighborhood of school build
ings. Miss Yerkm was promlnmth Identified
with the "safety llrFt" carnival h"ld last
neck In Conpiitlon Hull under the aus
plcee of the Home nml School League
Her action In writing to the tlt s chief
executive wa prompted by the freiiuent
accidents ocei.rrlng while the taniKal '
Was In prosri. and by nn Incident I
which she witnessed In the neighborhood
of her sehoul last ThurMl.u.
Charles Galhrlcht, n pupil at the Wal
ton School, was croslng the street A
delivery mot ir truck was npprondilng
lilm. The truclc struck Cialbrlcht, but
topped before it had passed over bis
body. Chnrle Llndsry, the chauffeur,
was driving slowly and a fatal accident
wn avoided The same chauffeur had
had a similar expeilence In the preced
ing week, and In the first cae had nlw
nvoldcd an accident In the neighborhood
of the Wnlton School I IN care had
raved the Jives of two rhlldieti. hut other
trucks pass the school constants whose
drivers cxprclse less caution.
Miss Yerkes decided that slow driving
near school buildings should be made
compulsory under the law rather than
optional on the part of the chauffeurs
In her teaching career MNs Yerkes has ,
lost several pupils through trolley car
and automobile accidents. In her letter
to the Mayor she says: t
In reRnnfl".. lr vntlr Invltflllnn Iscuarl
through the newspaper's for suggestions
ns to methods to be employed In avoid
ing street accidents:
"Between the hours of S:."0 and D and
1 and 1.C0 large groups of children are
on the street", hurrying to reach their
classrooms. When school 'leaves out' the
same danger occurs through the pres
ence of trolIy cars, automobiles, car
riages and wagons on the public high
ways. "I might respectfully recommend that
at such hours all vehicles be compelled
to move at a slow rate of speed while
they arc In the vicinity of schoolhouses.
This would In all probability result In
a decrease In the number of casualties
In which little children are cither maimed
or killed.
"The average pupil Is naturally Impul
sive. He ha been taught how to avoid
danger, but In his haste to leach a given
point he disregards all Instructions. We
adults are therefore responsible for his
eafcty. Many drivers avoid passing school
buildings wherever possible, but In many
cases wh're thev must pas them they
move at the usual rate of speed, regard
less of the danger confronting the little
ones. Would It he possible to eliminate
this condition through exacting regula
tions. "Yours respectfully.
"HELHN K. YERKKS."
