The following sentences are extract
ed from the Report Of the Committee
Of Twelve on Rural Schools" of the
National Educational Association
1S9O: "The rural schoolhouse, gen.
orally speaking, in its character and
surroundings is depressing and degrad-
ing. There is nothing about it cal
culated to cultivate a taste for the
beautiful in art or nature. II children
are daily surrounded by those in
fluences that elevate them, that make
them clean and well-ordered, that
make them love flowers, and pictures,
and proper decorations, they at last
reach that degree of culture where
nothing else will please them. When
they grow up and have homes of their
own, they must have them clean, neat,
bright with pictures, and fringed with
shade trees and flowers, for they have
been brought up to be happy in no
other environment The rural school
house should be built in accordance
with the laws of sanitation and mod
ern civilization. 1t never will be un-
til the state, speaking through the SUI
pervisor, compels 1t as a prerequisite
for receiving a share of the public
funds"

of the injured were carried there and
were treated by physicians and nurses
whom she had sent for. In the mean
time the chief of police had telephoned
to every hospital in the city, asking
that assistance be sent. Ambulances
forced their way through the crowds
as quickly as possible and the injured
people who had leaped from the hotel
windows were placed in them and re-
moved to the hospitals. Several oc-
cupants of the hotel appeared at the
windows of the sixth and seventh
stories and even on the roof and leaped
to the streets from those points. Very
few of them escaped either instant
death or injuries which resulted in
their death a short time later.
Collapse OF tho building.
The entire building was fast being
enveloped in flames, which shot out
from every window and formed a pic
ture which struck terror to all those
who were witnessing it, Within forty
or forty-fve minutes after the fire

falling, and presently with a crash
they struck the asphalt covering of the
street in front of the hotel, and caused
the hundreds of people who were stand
ing there to scatter in every direction.
This fall weakened the walls on the
Forty-sixth and Forty-seventh street
sides and they followed a moment later.
When the walls fell the brick and NOR
tar and twisted Orders and corrugated
iron filled the streets on three sides
of the hotel. The doorsteps and iron
fences in front of the houses on the
opposite side of the street from the
hotel were wrecked by the falling walls
and the amount of debris piled in the
streets was so great that travel will
be impeded for several days. The
northeast wing Of the hotel continued
to burn for a half hour after the walls
Of the other part of the building fell.
Attempt to Rescue Guests.
Mr.. Leland, proprietor of the hotel,
helped with the wounded, while Civ
ing the firemen and policemen infor-
nation about the construction Of the
building and the best means of res
cuing those who were on the upper
floors No means were being neg
lected. There was nothing more he
could do either for his imprisoned
guests or for his wife and daughters

New York telegram: The most
complete list OF casualties at the
Windsor hotel fire shows that fifteen
persons were killed, without attempt
ing to speculate on the bodies in the
ruins. Forty persons are missing.
Fifty-two names are on the list OF in
jured, whose whereabouts are known.
While there is a possibility that
number of those unaccounted for,
whose bodies are supposed to be in the
ruins, may have escaped and have
failed to report their safety, the prob
ability is that the majority Of them
are buried beneath the debris of the
burned building.
Three of those injured at the fire
died at hospitals today, and several
others are in such condition that re-
covery is not expected.
Three fire engines and a hundred
policemen remained all night about
the burning building. These engines
poured six large streams of water on
the flames, which would start up at
intervals in spite of the firemen. Small
explosions occurred every once in
while from escaping gas, the pipes
having been smashed all over the low
er part of the building, the only
part that is left. Citizens were kept a
block away from the ruins, as pieces
of wall were falling every now and
then, and there was danger that the
portion of wall at the back of the
building and that on the Forty-sev-

wall Of the building, he crept slowly
on the coping and passed the fainting
woman to another fireman, who had
braced himself To receive her. There
was a dreadful suspense as the fireman
drew the woman toward him and fin
ally had her safely on the ladder. A
tremendous cheer went up from the
crowd.
Falls from the Sixth Floor.
A girl appeared on the sixth floor,
beyond the reach of ladder, rope or
rescuer. She climbed upon the ledge
and fell forward, striking and whirl-
ing over and over until she landed
dead in the street A number of those
who threw themselves in this way
from the window fell upon people in
the street and instead of one mangled
body there were two.
And these things the crowd could
only watch helplessly, sickening at the
sight. They saw distorted faces ap-
pear at the windows, they saw women
reach their arms out and scream and
then retreat or fall back into the fire.
BY this time all the roofs OF the neigh
boring houses were manned by fire
men; there were scores of them on the
roof OF the burning hotel itself, pour
ing their futile streams down skylights
and through holes chopped in the roof
that became chimneys as soon as the
AK cut through.
IN Of ~ 80
dence in the rear of the hotel, the dead
body of a girl was found. She had
thrown herself from one Of the high
windoTs Of the hotel when escape was
cut off. Numbers of people, men and
women. saved themselves by sliding
down rope fire escapes, which were
kept in the rooms.
What might be described as the
second stage of the horror was long
drawn out; it seemed as though it
would never end On all sides of the
building people were hurting them
and every moment made it worse. The
palaces of the neighborhood were turn
ed into impromptu hospitals; the am
balances came and went and still the
death tally reached no close. Long
after it seemed impossible that any
life could be left within the glowing
shell there were those awful faces APP
pearing for an instant at a window
and dropping back, to be seen no more.
Women Leap to Death.
Men collected upon the sidewalks
ready to render any assistance they
could, and in the meantime some of
the women left the window stills and
dropped to the streets. In most in
stances the efforts to catch them and
break their awful falls were unavail-
ing, for they struck the sidewalk and
in most cases broken limbs were the
result. AS soon as the firemen could
get their scaling ladders into position
they climbed the sides of the building
and entered at every window where
there was an unfortunate guest appeal
ing for assistance. and many cases of
heroic rescue were witnessed by the
throng in the streets. Directly across
from the hotel Is the home of Miss
Helen Gould and at her direction many

The editor of Locomotive Engineer
ing declares that in describing a rail
road collision reporters make mis-
take when they say that ION seeing the
danger the engineer whistled down
brakes" reversed the lever, and
jumped of" The expression down
brakes" he says, has been obsolete for
two generations. What an efficient en-
gineer really does when a collision
seems impending is to shut off steam,
apply the air-brake, open the sand
valves, and jump. This takes about
five seconds, and in that time all that
human effort is able to accomplish for
the train and passengers may be done.
Railroad engineers are told never to
reverse the engine after the air-brake
has been applied because the reversal
reduces the resisting power of the
brakes.

enth street side might fall at any
time
The bit Of wall on the Forty-sixth
street side tapered to point and still
held two chimneys in place. 1t will
be pulled down during the day. The
wall on the rear side, seven stories
high, is still standing, but it looks as
though it might fall with the first
stiff breeze. The wall on the Forty
seventh street side is about two stories
high and that in front on Fifth ave-
nue. about the same height. The
walls have breaks in them and have
Jagged tops, adding to the hideous APP
pearance Of the ruins behind them,
which smoked and steamed and emit
ted a bad stencil
Fifth avenue and Forty-sixth and
Forty-seventh streets are impossible.
They are covered with debris from the
walls of the hotel, and in many in
stances flag stones were broken by the
great crash of stone and brick.
Gangs OF men were kept all the
night at the ruins ready to begin the
work of removing the debris so as to
find bodies burned underneath, delay
being caused by the continual out
bursts of flames and the great heat
still clinging to the debris.
Chief Bonner said today that no
firemen were missing.
At about o'clock this morning a
few men were set to work on the For
ty-seventh street side to tear down the
wall, which was so dangerous it could
not be allowed longer to remain
standing. The contractor said that as
soon as possible he would start the
men to overhauling the ruins. HSS
would have 1000 men at work If that
number were needed.
