Cause of The COIlinwOOd Horror

One of those dreadful, shocking
affairs occurred near Cleveland, Ohio,
Wednesday, when school house took
fire from an oyerheated furnace and
ITO children lost their lives. Il was
the old story Of defective arrangement
Of the building. The doors opened
inward and when the panic stricken
children threw their weight against
them, they were caught in self
closing trap. Architects will learn
some day that all doors leading from
public buildings should open outward.
Some day, too, Legislators will pass a
law making it obligatory upon the
owners Of buildings wherein people
assemble for any purpose whatever to
hang all doors leading out Of the build
ing to swing outward. Had the
doors in the Collinwood public school
swung outward, the loss Of life would
have been comparatively light.
