is with reference to the manner Of hanging
the doors of the various rooms--in fact Of
all the doors in the building. We would
suggest that all the doors in the new build
ing, and also Of the old buildings, be made
to swing outward, when open. The i'm
portance of this suggestion will be readily
seen by all intelligent persons, and is very
forcibly illustrated by the terrible calamity
in the Greene street school house, in New
York city, some years ago, and by
another in New England Of a more recent
date. In both cases large number of
children were burned because sudden
rush against the doors of the
rooms prevented these from being promptly
thrown open to permit the scholars to pass
out It is not probable that IRE should
break out in any of the buildings now in
use here, for they are all provided with every
necessary safeguard against such an &C.
currence; but neither is it impossible, and,
therefore, some necessity exists for making
the Improvements suggested. The legis-
lature of Indiana recently passed a law
requiring that the doors OF all the public
school buildings in the state be changed in
all cases, where they swing inward when
opened. One would naturally suppose that
the merest trio in the carpenters or builders
trade should know this much at least of the
laws of school architecture, yet this
new law Of Indiana affects no fewer than g.
900 of the less than 10000 school houses Of
that state; involving a cost of $4,000 to
make the required alterations But, very
fortunately, there is to be no evasion of
this new law; for it not only imperatively
command that the designated alterations be
made, but inficts fine Of from one to ten
thousand dollars aud Imprisonment in the
county Jail not exceeding six months, upon
any school trustee who fails to see that the
alterations are made. State Superintendent
Boss has been asked to give his official
construction Of the law, and this is it: "Let
trustees bear in mind, also, the further fact,
that if they neglect to carry out the law,
and any pupil is seriously injured by being
crushed or trodden under foot in a school
panic, and it can be traced to the neglect
of the trustees to provide ready egress by
observance Of this law, an action for dam
ages will lie against them; and if death
ensues, they may be held for manslaughter."

Gen. Ha2en, chief signal officer, in his
annual report says the past year has been
distinguished by additional progress, and by
a decided improvement. Referring to the
weather forecasts made this year for the
first time in the interest of cotton growers,
Gen. Hazen says: Congress did not APP
pTopriate an amount carefully estimated as
necessary TO meet the expense of the in
creased work, and was unwillingly CON-
PEELED to reduce the number Of stations to
10O selected from 24S promised which are
situated so as to best cover the cotton belt.
| earnestly hope that congress will this year
provide the the funds necessary for great
extension of this special feature of the sig
nal service, which promises, with very
small expenditure, such great practical ad-
vantages to the peoples interests of the
south" Gen. Hazen notes deductions
made Of the weather conditions for
the day succeeding That Tor which forecasts
are made, and says if the result of these
studies sufficiently successful, indications
will in time be issued for all districts for
periods of more than one day. Gen. Hazen
calls especial attention to the value of the
river reports, aud says; The opinion is
again expressed that with the proper study
Of river floods, and with stations properly
placed reporting at times of especial dan
ger, it can be made almost impossible for a
food to follow river course wit hout notice
being given in advance of its coming to
localities threatened. Frost warning now
telegraphed to New Orleans for the benefit
Of the sugar interests, will be extended for
the benefit of the orange interests Of Flori-
da, and fruit interests at other points.
