A safety council survey made among Cleveland high schools between 1939 and 1941 showed that effectual driver training reduced traffic accidents by 50 per cent, the council said. "It is our firm belief that if every high school in the nation would put into ell ect such a course we would see miracles within five years," Dr. Hughes asserted. Officials pointed out that statistics for 1946 proved that mile for mile the age group was a third more dangerous behind the wheel than any other comparable segment of the population. That group accounted for 33.8 per cent of the nation's fatalities in 1946. At present only 10 per cent of the 25, Olio high schools in the U. S. have what the council regards as adequate driver training courses. And only a part of the schools conducting such courses have actual auto- mobiles in operation. of Guard Strength Up Members of the U.
