By emphasizing good sportsman ship as the most important rule in safety, 'Neyhart's teaching - makes such technical discussions as types of roadway, laws and penalties, and highway courtesy; appeal to youth With specially equipped cars, loaned by manufacturers or local dealers, the instructor takes four pupils out at a time for roadwork in a - dual-control car - The course generally offers a pupil ,approxi mutely eight hours at the wheel during a half-year course Regarding his large task as a crusade rather than a Job, Neyhart has so enthused safety directors with his plan that many intricate limning systems have been set up One Chicago high school has out fitted a classroom withl3o dummy cars with instructors drilling stu dents by use of a varied colored drill board Finally, Neyhai t wants to ex tend the benefits of driver's courses to all high school students One of the best suggestions from Neyhart's followers I for meeting the cost is to levy a one-tenth , of one cent out of every four-cent state gasoline tax He reasons If tlie gasoline tax can be used to build and repair loads, why isn't it/logical to use a small fraction of it to train the coming generation in the safe use of those roads! -STUDENTSI,, =OM DISPLAY= — ARTCRAFT WHITE LEATHER' VESTS ' , Fraternity Blankets—Flags—Skins—Banners ' '4, E.
