The startling assertion that in the
schools of SIG cities and towns of the
United States conditions are ripe for I
repetition of the Collinwood, Ohio, fire
disaster appears in a current issue OF
fire insurance publication, the Insurance
Press. A list of the danger spots is pub
lished, and it includes Chicago. New York
Cleveland, Detroit, Philadelphia, Boston
and numerous other large cities, as W.:
rs smaller centers of population.
Fire statistics show that, during III.
first quarter of 1908, ffty-eight fires oc
CURED in educational institutions of til!
United States and Canada, resulting il
death to many students, ~endangerlny th'
lives OF thousands of others. and causir!
a property loss of about $1,000 ZOO. In
many instances dormitories were burned
some while the students were asleep al
night. Such dangerous biazes occurred
in nineteen States Inc one territory. Pub
lie school fires caused damage in eishttcr
States. Panics among pupils and teach
ers invariably resulted. Safety was Otter
found to be sought, not in the protection
afforded by ~ireproof building material
iron escapes or other structural improve.
ments, but in fire drills. which depended
upon discipline that could be maintained
only when danger was remote.
The statement is made that at , col.
leges and universities the question of the
safety of the lives of students has scarce
ly been considered. By far the greater
danger, however, is said to exist in the
public schools of the country. Public
school boards are said to appreciate thcil
responsibility by providing freproof MI
t~erials in new buildings, but little or moth
ing is dom to improve conditions in ole
school houses which were erected before
the modern building era.
This is declared to be a matter worthy
immediate and widespread action Oh t&x
part of public officials. If theatcrs.
churches, halls and other public gather.
ing places are by law equipped with
sprinkler systems, fire escapes and other
safety devices, how important it is that
school houses, where children spend as
much as thirty hours a week, be pro.
tected. The Fort Wayne, Ind, hotel
fire, which found helpless. sleeping vic
tins in unprotected rooms, is the eighty.
fifth blaze Of its kind in the United States
and Canada since the first of the year.
Not all of these resulted in loss of life,
but hotels, like schools, are shown to h
in need of special protective apparatus.

Il would like to let young men
know" said Lu Old soldier, that BRAY
cry, like almost any other attribute,
can be ac4uirrd. | would like to let
them know this, because there are some
poor fellows % are brought into the
world with Il tiHIid nature that cause
thcm much suffering. While having
III admiration for brave men, they feel
thai they are towards, and, accuStOm-
ing themselves to this belief, they never
attempt to fight against their weak
ness. DO you know l really believe
that most of the noted brave men of
he world have become brave simply
by systematically overcoming coward
ice. Did not Lannes, Napoleon's most
dashing general, say: The man who
says he never felt fear is Il poltroon
and Il liar But while Lannes thus ac-
knOwleuged to the sensation Of fear, he
never allowed himself to show it, and
that is the point. Moreover, by prac-
tice such things become easy Now,
if there is any young man who is a
coward and wishes to become brave, let
iit say liz ~ hil4i up Soul
mind first Of al that it is much prefer
able to suffer death hau to be ran
pied upon or Inundated. From what
you have experienced you know the
disgust, the suffering, Lcute and degrad-
ing. that results when you back down
III an unmaIlly fashion. Say this, then,
l much prefer to die than to expert
ence such feelings again. Impress it
upon your mind, and then, as a test
to your spirit, force yourself to face
those things that you ave been avoid
ing from fright. If a man has been
o~verawing you, bluffing you in plain
terms, lay for him deliberately, bluff
him back double, and if he wishes to
fight, throw yourself upon him with
a vim and punch hard; he cannot do
more than kill you; and, as you have
made up your mind that it is better to
die than to submit to humiliation, our
death, as it were, is a thing already
programmed. And, if you whip him,
the sensation is very agreeable and
frees you from any further fears of
falling Il victim to cOwardice.'-New
