REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRIVER EDUCATION
To the Superintendent of Schools:
The merits of Driver Education in the high school are becoming more evident each year by providing proper instruction for our young drivers and by reducing their accident rate to a minimum according to statistics published by the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Through this medium of instruction we are training capable drivers behind the wheel, and at the same time molding proper attitudes to cope with the ever-increasing problems of highway safety. The drivers trained in this program are considered by the insuring casualty companies far better insurance risks than those trained by any other method, and for this reason lower rates are provided exclusively for students trained in the high school program. It is our hope that every prospective driver will take advantage of this program to prepare for the increasing problems of highway travel and meet them with proper attitudes and skills.
For some years now, Mr. Fred C. Browne of Walpole has provided us with a dual-control automobile for use in this instruction. This vehicle we have shared with Millis. Because of the increasing numbers of students in both towns, Mr. Browne has promised Millis and Medfield the exclusive use of two cars for next September. Thus we feel even more deeply indebted for this gentleman's kindness.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES E. MORRIS, Director of Driver Education
