§ Mr. VIANTasked the President of the Board of Education whether, in view of the fatal accident while crossing the road that occurred recently in North London 1794W to a child of 10, he will suggest to local education authorities the desirability of taking special steps to warn the children against dangers from traffic?
§ Mr. TREVELYANMy attention hag been called to this accident, which I deeply deplore. The Board have already issued a memorandum to local education authorities on the number of accidents caused by children improperly riding upon vehicles; and I have every reason to believe that authorities are alive to the importance of warning the children in their schools, by notice or by the provision of special instruction, on the subject of traffic dangers generally. I am glad, however, of this opportunity to bring the matter again to the notice of local education authorities, and I am confident that it will receive their earnest consideration.
