§ Sir W. de FRECEasked the President of the Board of Education whether, in view of the increasing number of accidents, he will say what steps are taken to inculcate the doctrine of safety first in the elementary schools of the country?
Mr. WOODI understand that several local education authorities, including London, have brought to the notice of their teachers the aims of the Safety First Council, and the Board have themselves drawn the attention of local education authorities to the number of accidents caused by children improperly riding upon vehicles. I have every reason to believe that teachers in all parts of the country are alive to the importance of this matter and have warned the children of the dangers.
