What Became Of Those on Canal

y Sir,-At the timc OF the evacuation OF
Richmond, april. 1s65). y belonged to
tho corps OF cadets. On the Sunday OF
the evacuation april 2d) the cadets wcfo
scattered for a. long distance on the
vidette post between Fort Gimer and
Fort Harrison. They were marched to
Richmond. arriving there little after
nightfall. They were addressed by Gov
ernor Smith. who dismissed and dis
banded them, telling them the bridges
were all burnt and they would have
to take care OF themselves the best way
they could, either making their way 10
their homes or TO the army. as they
saw tit. Tom tnow senator) Martin was
my niessmate, and he and Invent hur-
5rledly to tho barracks to try to save
some of our better clothes. Everything
was In great confusion, fires and exp!o-
sions going on all over the city, with
the footing and disorder usual under such
circumstances. We made our way from
the barracks to the river, intending 10
make our way up the river as best wo
could. When we reached the canal about
the old packet boat landing, think We.
with some others, were accosted BY
party OF State officials, who urged US TO
help them load the State papers on q
canal boat, which they had secured for
the purpose. They had great difficulty In
3pcrsuading even q few persons to stop
and help them. as every one was ca ger
to get away from the city We. however,
with only two others, I believe. helped
them. working till or - o'clock Monday
morning to load the boat with these
papers. 1t then started for Columbia,
Fluvanna county. which was as far as
the canal was in order then, VIC being
promised our passage 30 far In return
for work and risk. When the boat started,
We went inside. completely exhausted
and fell asleep on some Of the packages
of papers, thinking we were safely on
our way to Columbia. Unfortunately.
however. the boat sank when only a
few miles from Richmond, and We had
to abandon it, thankful to have escaped
drowning. never heard afterwards what
became OF this boatlodd OF papers, and
do not even know what papers they
we're. We were boys of seventeen. unac-
quainted with the persons In charge OF
these papers, and had only to take their
assurance that they were valuable State
papers. I write this to show that even at
this time OF horror the State officials
did their utmost to guard what they con-

The Kindergarten..

AS this paper was responsible In part
for the Introduction of kindergarten in
structlon in the public schools Of Rich
r,ond, as We gave countenance and aid
to the movement when 1t was first in
auguratcd and when 1t was not popu-
lar VIC are. greatly gratified that the
Kindergarten schools which have been
established have the hearty support Of
the school authorities and of the patrons
did work in our system Of popular cdu-
cation. The little children who attend
arc delighted; the mothers of these chill
dren have become thoroughly interested
in the work, and have oven gone so far
ar to organize n mothers club, with
headquarters at one Of tho kindergarten
schools, and are giving tho teachers
their heartiest corporation.
We believe that the kindergarten Is
destined to do more than any other de-
partmcnt OF public school work In the
direction of moral instruction.. To these
schools tho children arc taken When they
ure very young and mpressionable and
are taught, first Of nll. the lesson Of
obedience In all things They are
brought very close to nature, and ma
lures first and greatest law is the law
OF obedience. Obedience lies at the foun-
diaion of all systems of religion and
government and lies as well at the foun-
dation Of all character. If tho little
| children of the land are taught this
great lesson thoroughly, they will have
The best and the only sure foundation
Upon which to build UP the superstruc-
ture Of moral and religious character.
Believing this as we firmly do, we are,
therefore, In favor of giving prominence
10 the kindergarten schools Of Rich
mond. and we hope that they will not

ton, The moro efficient tho kindergnr-

Safety in Public Halls.

In mn ordinance which has bcen pre-
pared by the Board Of Fire Commission
ers OF thi scity that body asks for en-
1arged powers with which to prevent fires
and pnnics in thcntres, public halls
churches, schools and other buildings
OF n public or sclni-puhlic character
There Is already q city law on the sub
Aect but 1t is not sufficient; hence the
board asks for greater powers, ana II
should have them. The responsibility
Is upon It, and the public Will hold 1 Il
to strict accountability In case Of a
disaster that could have been prevented.
But IL tho Council neglect or refuse TO
give the board the authority it needs, then
the responsibility win be upon the Coun-
Gil, not upon the board.
1t is proposed that there shall be plenty
of doors and windows III every building
coming under the terms Of tho ordi-
nance. and that they shall open out
.wardly. The practice OF putting chairs,
sofas or. benches in uisles or passage
ways, or Of allowing persons to stand
in the as.es Is to be strictly prohibited
The board is to be authorized and IN
structed to adopt and promulgate such
rules and regulations as, In its judgment,
may be dcsmcd proper and necessary to
provide for the safety of life and limb
In buildings In which any considerable
number Of persons gather, It is contem-
orjN oh 1pn thp
owners or managers, or trustees OF such
buildings to correst faults that the board
may point out If such notice has been
served by the board and not obeysd,
fines will be imposed. But in the event
that this ordinance Is violated to such
an extent rs to cause the board to have
apprehension for the safety of the pub
Tic, it is required to report the facts to
tho Mayor. and 1t will become his duty
to close any such building until such cor
rections have been made. Further de-
tall, ara left in the control of the board.
liz tho light OF the sad experience at
tile 1roquois Theatre In Chicago, 1t would
seem that the first prerequisite to safety
In theatre Is a fireproof curtain. The
asbestos curtain is now pretty generally
distrusted. a steel curtain is preferred.
F'ireproof scenery is another good pre-
caution. Nor is it possible not to con-
denim that sort OF theatre architecture
which provides for steep seats III the
CALLER es, and which permits outlets that
may be easily choked.
All these things, we have no doubt,
the Richmond Board of Fire Commission
ers WIN consider. and consider we'll.
Nor Let it forget that the greatest thing
with which to put out fire Is water;
plenty of water! And the surest provision
for furnishing water is to have always
ready fireman, with hose In hand; the
hose attached to a big water pipe. In
some cities the automatic sprinkler. ar.
ranged In the form Of u "rain fall" is
much approved but in our Judgment
nothing equals-nothng can equal-in
value big stream OF water directed from
hose by an experienced fireman.
