Immediately impressed with the merits of the idea, the school of ficial took the matter up with the chief of police. Pupils thus selec ted for traffic duty were educated with regard, to signals and prov ided with arm-bands bearing the letter "TO." indicating that they were official . traffic officers. Notice of the plan also was given the general public and they were requested to observe the signals of the special traffic directors with the same consideration ac corded regular patrolmen.
