"No amount of money will bring
back a life or restore a broken skull
to. normal condition." said C. A. Brann
ot the Houston Electric company when
he addressed the students of West End
Junior High school Friday afternoon
The speaker was talking on safety
and particularly cautioned the chil-
dren to take care of themselves and
their fellow pupil He cited a number-of
cases where children had been
seriously injured because their fellow
pupils had handled them roughly and
said: "No right thinking person ever
injured a child Intentionally but many
have been injured because ot their own
or other persons falling to think.
"Tf you have something to do think
of what you are doing. Keep your
mind on your business. Do not rush
across the street behind a street car
or an automobile. There may be
another approaching from the opposite
direction and the man driving It may
not aee you.
"When you drive en automobile
think of other people and be careful.
The person who drives an automobile
is morally and nearly always legally
responsible for those who occupy It
I with him. He must think of thsm and
not try to do stunts of turning In and
out trfrough traffic Just to demon-
strate his ability to handle the car.
If one of the occupants should get hurt
the driver's ability to run the car
would not be worth anything to him In
-uring a broken leg.
."If you have games to play play
them on the school grounds and other
playgrounds which are for this pur-
pose. Please do not play In the streets.
The person driving sutomobiles may
not see you In time to stop. Think of
the other fellow. Protect him and pro-
tect yourself. God has given you eyes
to see with and ears to hear with.
Impairment of either wU decrease
your efficiency. With your efficiency
decreased you will have a harder time
to reach your goal. Ton may never
reach It. Think right and act right
Think safety and act safety and you
will be happier."
