SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
— . > SCHOOL CHILDREN AND TRAFFIC Dominion Special. Dunedin. December 8. The danger that comes of children running out from their school gates into the roadways regardless of the quicklymoving traffic of nowadays should be impressed on them by parents and teachers. The Otago Education Board is not regardless of the question, for among the architect’s recommendations this morning was one urging that an iron railing immediately opposite the gate, snv six feet in from the fence line, be erected to prevent the children from running out into the road at a city school near tramlines. The idea was that the youngsters would be slackened in their pace through having to turn at the rail and the gate. A member said that in England he had noticed rails erected on the outside of the footpaths opposite school gates Other members were impressed by this remark, and it was decided to apply to the City Council for permission b; erect a rail on the edge of the footpath at the school in question.
