To County and City Superintendent;
The recently appalling disaster in
Chicago lends sad emphasis to the
Importance of thorough fire drill exer-
cises in every public school Of the
country. In city and village this de-
mand is imperative that every school
be thoroughly drilled to meet fire
emergencies. In all school such drill
is ESSENTIAL that pupils may maintain
self cOntrolunder trying conditions
which accompany first in public
buildings,
You are earnestly urged to give this
matter early and constant attention
that every school in the state may be
thoroughly drilled to meet any emer-
gency Of this character.
DO not wait until your community
Is visited by disaster similar in char
acter to the Chicago theater tire, but
prepare for the emergency by proper
fire drill. 1t may mean the saving Of
the lives Of some Of your pupils.
Very truly yours,
l. L. DAYHoFF,
State Supt. of Public Instruction.

The Philipsburg Dispatch Is taking
up a great amount Of space from week
to week to prove that the last legiSla-
ture was not responsible for the in
crease In taxes. When a man walks
up to the county treasurer's office and
finds that his taxes are heavier than
they were the ) ear before, while at the
same time, his property valuation has
not increased, he generally wants to
know the why and the wherefore for
the increase. Perhaps the Dispatch
may be able to make 1t plain but II
the object sought Is to relieve the obi
um in the minds Of the people as to
the last legislature, 1t had better keep
quiet. The legislature Is perhaps not
altogether to blame for the increase OF
taxes throughout the state, but the
people generally think it is, and as
that body stinketh to heaven anyway
on account OF it's many sins, let 1t take
