'Reader's Digest' Feafuresileyhart;
Public Safety Institute Director
-"Youth Meets Motorcar In School' Presented
In May Issue; Deals With Safe-Driving Course_
"Youth Meets Motorcar In School" is the appropriate title that
!Reader's Digest featured in its May is - Sue on Dr Amos E Neyhart's
originating the high school experimental driving courses Dr Ney
hart is the director of the College Public Safety Institute. -
After setting up his first driving
course at State College High
School, Dr Neyhart's novel idea
attracted the attention of the
American Automobile Association
which asked -Neyhart in 1936 to
conduct a national 'campaign for
teaching drivers
~, Spreading like wild-fire, the
courses mounted from 200 high
school adoptions in 1938 to 600 to
day Almost 100,000 boys.and girls
have been taught to drive by 2,000
Neyhart proteges, while 41 col
leges gave summer courses to
Leachers on7driving technique.
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!
