Tell the story of this picture.
Never jump on or off a moving elevator, trolley, or train. It is better to be a few minutes late than to go through life as a cripple.
Never ride a bicycle on the left side of the street. Keep to the right. Never try to dodge in front of a street car or an automobile, or to catch hold of either of them for the sake of a tow.
Never steal rides by hanging on the back of wagons, trucks, automobiles, or street cars. You may jump or fall off directly in front of a passing vehicle.

More children suffer from accidents than grown people because they are the most thoughtless. Here are some of the ways in which hundreds of boys and girls are killed or hurt every year:
By hitching on backs of wagons or street cars; by roller skating in the roadway; by sliding on push-mobiles in the roadway; by daring each other to run across the street in front of vehicles; by engaging in street fights; by building bonfires; by playing on the fire-escapes and unprotected roofs; by riding bicycles in heavy-traffic streets; by climbing poles on which there are “live wires.”
Who is to blame if these boys get hurt?
