The School Building.

The attention of the states attor-
ney has been called to the school
building in this village and its lack
of fire escapes which the law calls
for in public building. There are
two exits on the first and second
floors, but single stairway is the
only means of egress from the as
sembly hall on the third floor, which
holds four or five hundred people
and is often filled at occasional
entertainments there.
The structure is well built, but
aside from its brick walls is as in
fammable as any wooden building,
and is without a cement floor OF
stairway to check a fire or aid in the
escape from flames.
No one expects fire to break out
in the building; but neither was the
Collingwood, Ohio, school expect
ing the fire that caused the deathof
over $50 children.

. New EngIand's Worst Crossing y

1t is not too much to hope that
there is some relief in sight in the
matter of the eight-track crossing
at White River junction and other
less dangerous but battling features
of the great railroad center. The
people of White River Junction and
Hartford have petitioned for the
abolition of this crossing and they
will lay their case before the State
railroad commissioners on Wednes-
day, March 20, at the junction.
The crossing is pretty well known
throughout New England. The an
tiquated station shares in its noto-
riety and the testimony at hand, to
say nothing of the evidence of nom
resident witnesses~who have been
served with unofficial subpenas,
should make the commissioners take
notice that the people are serious in
their demand for a change there.
