I b s a f e t In practically all lines of industrial endeavor, this country, it is said, has been more reckless and prodigal of human life than any other civilized country in the world. Other countries once had a much higher death rate than they do now. Improve- ment came with years and through sad experience. Yet if the United States has been backward, the fact remains that this country, now that it has started in the right direction, will make rapid progress. Since quick perception of defects and strong application of remedies, have characterized our growth as a nation, in every phase of development, so it will with the Safety First and indeed, has made rapid progress in the great campaign for the welfare of human life. The safety movement in the United States, which began about 1906 or 1907, has spread into every city and hamlet, into every work shop, factory and mine until today it is one of the most potential agencies for good in the entire country. Railroad companies, manufactures and mines now keep a careful record of accidents and these statistics year by year show startling reductions both in deaths and accidents. Such is the situation because corporations have been especially active in accident prevention, having organized safety first committees, employed engineers, and stimulated the interest in greater safe- ty by rewarding foremen and other officials for efficiency in pre- venting accidents and by organizing first aid teams among their employees. Walter IVrshall: “Would he were fatter. Julius Caesar.” 1 71 • , ” 1 r s t m Municipalities have also joined in the campaign. The slogan “Safety First’’ stares at the passer-by from almost every ' con- ceivable place of probable danger. With this movement has come more definite and clearer traffic regulations in cities. Even the crossing policeman has caught the safety first spirit and cautions pedestrians with “Watch Your Step,” “Heads Up,” and “Look Out for Cars!” Impetus and coordination were given to this great work by formation of the National Safety Council in 1912. The organi- zation of which was impelled by the growing need of concerted action by the public for the benefit of human safety. The need arising from this disregard of property, health and life by the ignorant, selfish and lawless, and the increasing number of accidents caused by the growing complexity of our national so- cial and industrial life. The council has accomplished much by its educational pro- paganda not only in reducing the number of accidents in fac- tories, homes and on the streets, but has done much for the improvement of public health. It is bringing the public to realize that “Safety First” means not only “safety from” but “safety for;” that it means the sub- stitution of the sane act for the foolish one, the higher thing for the lower; the safe for the unsafe. Finally safety makes for happiness and usefulness. —MARJORIE SMITH Page Twenty-five
