Desire For Speed Held Big Cause For Accidents The all-consuming. American love for speed is the greatest factor in the cause of 'motor vehicle accidents and their resulting fatalities, Prof.. Amos E. Neyhart of the College extension services, now on leav'e of absence to have charge of 'the driver training program for the American Automo bile. Association, believes. Yet Professor Neyhart, who gave '.his . pioneer course•for instructors of Safe driving, does not attribute these accidents to excessive speed. He be lieves that they originate in operating cars at speeds too fast for driving conditions—which may even be lei surely gaits of fifteen or twenty miles an hour. Thirty high school instructors took Professor Neyhart's safe . driving course this summer. When they re turn to classrooms this fall, they will have the most complete set of mate rial with which to teach safe opera tion of motor cars to be found in the 'United States. Lesson plans were developed this summer so that teach ers may have regular outlines of in struction to follow. Each teacher must also prove that he has been successful in instructing one or more beginning pupils in the science of driving safely.
