Jackson. Mich, September 12.-
Charles A. Worden. electrician Of the
Jackson FIRE department, had narrow
escape from death last night. No. 3

fireworks resulted. Worden, in en-
deavoring to straighten out matters
while working at the top of a pole,

 Principals of Chicago's public schools are opposed to the giving of prizes and medals to pupils. They do not deny that prizes are an incentive to effort on the part of the children, but prize giving develops the immoral traits of envy and jealousy, and where the prizes are offered for competition in an essay, to be written out of the school room, there is a likelihood of assistance from older heads, and consequent deceit on the part of the children.
