Inthe first place how are you going to teach anything to someone vyho already knows it all? There are few kids today who are not already familiar wiUi the mechanics of driving an automobile.j About the only thing, they need in addk tion is carefulness and courtesy, and those are things you have, or you don't. Most young people have them; say aboul ninety per cent of the girls and Lfifty-on- e per cent of the boys. Theyare the ones who will take the course and they would be good drivers any way Experience is the only thuigxtiiat wil ever teach' the others what thej need to know. Were told that the trainingNvili cut cost' of insurance to the Iqdsi because it will teach them to avoid bad habits of driving, j If it is so good for them in a financial way. and it is to be voluntary, whv shouldn't they stand the cos of the instruction themselves? One o the reasons society has so much trouble with the kids today is that the kids have been taught that, everything will be done for themr and all they have to do is put out their hand and ask. This strikes met as another, "do something for the! dear little kiddies" law, Thavs hea-rkids who haven't taken e course openly i express contempt forthe ability of their, instructors. In many cases I think' they have a point. It all comes back to the primary need forx courtesy and caution. No amount of money can teach those things.
