GREAT WASTE OF HUMAN LIFE.
Nearly Five Million Americans Killed
and Injured in Accidents Yearly.
Pnhlic Onininnl

public OpinionD
Accidents in other trades raise the
total injuries TO workers in New York
state in one year to 1000. How absurd
" inadequate are the statistics usually
accepted on this point is shown by the
I fact that the state authorities discov-
cred 1.S22 accidents in three months
while employers had never reported as
many 1.S0O accidents for an entire
year The fact is that no one knwos how
many wOrkingmen and worIingwomen
are injured in the course of their du-
ties We do not know this any more
4 than we know how much injury is done
to individuals and to society by the en-
ployment of child labor
The mine Is another torture chamber
and grave for woTkmen. Fifteen hun
dred men are killed and $500 injured
on an average each year in the coal
mines alone. These are the figures pub
lished by the geological survey. and
are probably almost complete. indepen-
dent investigations in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Illinois placing the coal mine
killings at 200 in these three states.
In other lines of industry there are
some particularly glaring instances of
work that kills The cutlery operative

he IS 50 Glass workers do not last so
long, Lead poisoning produces early

An average Of a man a day is killed in

So the CHASTITY record might be cOntin-
Ued to show that the making of live

tons is quite as dangerous and almost
as WaStefUi as the career of a soldier
W. ]. Client, author OF the two original
social studies. our Benevolent FeudaI-
ISM and Mass and Class" has point
ed out that the Pennsylvania coal mines
furnish an Industrial Bull Rum every
year. In the battle of 1851. $50 men were
killed; in the mines of 1901, S14 men lost
their lives
The whole number of fatal accidents
in the United States according to the
last census, IS figured on a rate of 96 3
in each 100000 of population InstIr-
aHce company statistics are based on a
different fatality rate and show a total
of about 5000 fatal accidents a year.
The same authorities estimate that
twenty-five persons are seriously in
jUred to every one killed. and arrive at
the conclusion that 1.650. 900 persons are
killed or badly injured in the United
states every year This estimate does
not include minor accidents" which
would raise the total to nearly 5000. 600.

forth by the reluctance of the govern

Editor Advertiser: If you can spare
a bit of room in your paper will you
please publish the following:
The other day while observing the
work in a country school, one of the
teachers announced that an investiga-
ton was needed as some of the chill
dren were troubled with bird lice. The
investigation was made and it was
found that the attic was alive with
them. The minahs had gone in under
the caves and made nests. The young
er children were sent home and the
others with the teachers went into a
committee of the whole for a grand
clean up. Soon, boys We're seen run
ming up and down ladders into the at
tic Bushels of rubbish, were carried
off. Then the attic had a sprinkling
of lime. The schoolrooms We're swept
and washed by the girls and teachers.
More than a barrel Of creoline water
was used in the process.
Schoolhouses should be made so that
birds and rats could not get into the
attic or any other part. Teachers say,
that much damage is done to books
extra and unnecessary labor. I I'M
derstand that the country schools are
not furnished janitor other than the
teachers and children.
I know that teachers manuahi many
things to the schools in order to make
things go more smoothly, such Is in
cidentals for closing exhibitions, pen
ellis, soap and often books to poor
children. If the teachers salary is' not
too small he or she does not mind Civ
ing out of an occasion.
And, another thing, if the growing
children are to be English speaking
people in a few years. more teachers
will have to be in the schoolroome.
There are too many children to
teacher to do satisfactory work. If the
children were we'll graded it would be
different, but they are not we'll graded
Some rooms have three and four
grades, work from First Reader to-
Fifth It must necessarily be patchy
under those conditions. In teaching
and training a foreign tongue much
oral individual work is required. 1t
is Slow uphill work. It takes time to
do good work. The old saying is. IF
anything is worth doing at all it is
worth doing we'll"
1t is our duty to encourage the teach
ers to keep their spirits light and their
faces young. We hope Uncle Sam
will not allow the schools to retro
grade.
