Months passed before her struggling will

Ferdinand Schumacher, the dead "oat-

brave and true.
The rigid line along which her life was
patterned formed the criterion by which
she judged others. Consequently her judg-

She looked with disgust upon the follies
and weaknesses of other women. In her
eyes there was never Justification for sin.
Women should so train their wills that
temptation would be impossible was her
verdict always.
Duty being the keynote of her life, 1t
came about that she married a man whom
she esteemed" but did not love. True,
there was no one else whom she loved
at that time. Nevertheless, somewhere
in the exalted regions of her nature was
a sense that told her how inadequate was
the placid response which this mans re-
gard awakened in her.
She felt instinctively that she would
never be really happy with him. There
were chords in her being which he never
touched. depths which his love of her did
not stir.

FIRE. DANGER :

SCHOOL BOARD UNABLE TO

In a discussion of the needs OF
the Whittier school with Principal
George Denman last night school
board members stated that fire es-

They will be shipped here ready

This is the school in which The
Press recently pointed out the fact
that 800 children are unprovided
with facilities for escape in case
of fire.
The present system of heating
by stoves which has resulted in
charred floors in the past will be
continued this winter, but ashes
tos mats will be laid beneath the
stoves as a precaution.
Principal Denman believes this,
with efficient fire drill, will min

There are no facilities for fight,

Those who have children attend

haste in getting the fire escapes, as
fire drill when there is no fire
and the frantic rush and crowding
of children when in panic caused
by fire suddenly breaking out, are
two different circumstances.
Under dangerous conditions the
little ones could not be expected
to keep their senses, no matter
how much they are drilled.
