Excerpt from Education in Accident Prevention: A Treatise Showing How Accident Prevention May Be Made a Part of Regular School Instruction Without the Addition of Another Subject to the Curriculum Notwithstanding the remarkable work which has been done in hundreds of industrial plants, deaths and serious injuries being reduced 50 to 90 per cent, the Safety Move ment in industry has not yet made the progress that is possible, and Public Safety is still in its infancy. Managers of large industries are beginning to realize that the problem of industrial safety will not be solved until the idea of Safety has been incorporated into the community life, that is, until safety instruction is given in the schools and until Safety is established in the thought and life of the people on the same basis as good health. The fact that two-thirds of all the accidental deaths in the United States occur outside of industry emphasizes the importance of a campaign to promote Safety on the streets and in the homes. Safety engineers are coming to.see that the foundation of Safety must be laid in the schools. When the children in the schools are instructed how to protect themselves and are taught to respect Safety, then through these children the parents in the homes will be reached and in¿uenced more effectively than in any other way.
