BELIEVING THAT THE DEATH rate on the highways can and must be reduced through education, Teachers College is now pioneering in a new field-safety education. The first college in the country to of fer a minor in safety education on the undergraduate level, Teachers College has transformed a barren 40-acre tract of land ~outh of the main campus into a training ground for teachers of highway safety. Bert L. Woodcock, the instructor in charge of the program, firmly believes that if motorists had been given lessons in driving instead of "just picking it up," there would be fewer accidents on the high ways. Since studies have proved that trained drivers have about half as many accidents as those who aren't trained, this should ultimately reduce the highway death toll. The object of the program is to pro• vide high schools with teachers of safety education, who can teach today's teen-• agers the principles of highway safety.
