Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
They're never too young to learn SAFETY
AFTER SCHOOL opens this fall, many classrooms
will be decorated with pictures like those shown
above
. All of these pictures were actually drawn by
children in the first grade.
These simple sketches show that even very young
children can grasp the importance of safety and
can apply its rules in their daily lives. In fact, our
greatest hope of reducing the high toll of childhood
accidents depends largely on helping children to
develop the attitudes and skills necessary for their
safety now and in the future.
Accidents kill annually about 14,000 children
under age 15. In addition, some 2
million children are temporarily or permanently
injured by accidents every year.
When children return to school, they will be exposed
to an increased number of potential accident
situations. Is there anything you can do to help
save children from accidental injuries or loss of
life? Indeed, there is. You can put more stress than
ever on habits of safe conduct.
All children-especially those just entering school
-should be waned to take safety precautions in
the streets. If a child rides his bicycle to school, he
should know and obey such rules as keeping to the
right, riding single file and signaling for turns.
Children may also be helped to avoid accidents
if parents themselves set a good example by consistently
practicing habits of safety in the home and
elsewhere. You can do this by checking your home
and removing possible accident hazards.
If, despite your protection and training, your
child has repeated accidents, it would be wise to
consult your doctor. Sometimes accidents may be
caused by physical or emotional conditions which
he can help correct.
Remember that most accidents do not "just happen."
Some authorities estimate that 90 percent or
more of them are preventable. So, make your child
safety-minded as he enters or returns to school.
