Parents Responsible * For Child’s Safety When Johnny goes marching off to school for the first time, he as sumes a new responsibility. He is responsible for his own safety. But Johnny still is just a little fellow, and that responsibility is confusing. Heretofore it has been his Mother’s task to see him across the street and to guide his rapid steps outside the realm of danger. He can meet this new duty of protecting himself with the help of his parents, Dr. Forrest E. Long, child care authority of the National Safety Council, believes “No parents want a scaredy cat or a sissy for a child,” says Dr. Long, “but neither does a parent want his child to be one of the 6,650 children who will be killed this year if the present rate con tinues. The answer is to teach a child safe living early in life. “If you live in a city, teach your child the meaning of traffic lights, what each color means and how to follow signals. Be sure he knowi which side of the traffic light to follow. Teach him to cross at corners—never in the middle of a block. Caution him to look both ways and watch for turning cars. “If you live in the country so that the child has to walk part of the way to catch the school bus, go over this distance with him pointing out dangerous spots. Teach him to walk on the left side of the road, facing oncoming cars. “Teach him the wisdom of keep ing hands, arms and head inside the bus—not to lean from windows. Caution him about horse-play which might distract the driver and cause an accident. “Once the child is safely inside the school building, teachers will assume some measure of his re sponsibility. But again, he must know certain means of self-preser vation. For instance, has he been taught never to run with pencils, crayons, marbles and the like in his mouth? Does be know to walk —not run—down hallways and through doors? “A child can be talight the dif ference between being a sissy and being foolhardy. His life may de pend on it.
