Supt. 0odfrey's Timely Suggestion.
Yuma, Arizona, April I, 1908.

Yuma, Arizona, April I, 1908.
Clerk Board of Trustees, District No, /.
Yuma. Arizona.
Dear Sir: Some time since | had a
conversation with you pertaining to the
swinging of the doors in the new school
building outside in place of inward ac-
cording to the plans and specifications
At this time understood you that you
would take the matter up with your
board and expected said board to take
| favorable action on my suggestion.
However yesterday l visited the
building and found that the doors are
now ready to swing inward. 1t seems
to me that since the Collinwood disas-
ter of but d few weeks ago, and espec-
| tally when other boards throughout the
| United States have taken this disaster
under such serious consideration as to
spend thousands of dollars to rearrange
buildings and swing doors outward,
that it would but be wise en- the part
OF your beard to take this same step
while You have the opportunity with
ont much extra expense. l realize the
plea is made that our building is but
one story, etc, and while this may
seem quite plausible, the boards over
the country are not changing pn the
second and third floors alone, but the
changes are being made right on the
first~foor also. If the plea that in case
of fire the children can use the win
dowS for exits in place of doors, why
not refer back to the Collinwood horror
and say why did not those innocent
children do likewise. Are other boards
contenting themselves with the window
exit method? After disaster. suppose
but one life is lost. Would this justify
the inward swinging of the doors?
Right now is the opportunc time for
this correction as it is being done all
over the country and at greater ex-
pense than it will cost right here.
| am not giving this communication
TO you in the sense that l have any de-
sire whatever to dictate, or even be
arbitrary. to your board; but the sug-
gesLion, in my estimation, is timely
one, and [ believe that your board
should weigh this matter very careful
ly. This manner of swinging the doors
may not be SO artistic as the inward
SyinUinU Int IL NAV DrOye less eXDen-
sive, as it surely would have been in
the CollinwOod case.
Trusting that you will take this mat
ter up Immediately with your board
and discuss it freely and make the re-
arrangement of vhe doors, am
Yours truly,

CURRENCY COMMISSION.

Obviously, congressional opln-
ion is at last awakened to the
necessity of a thorough and sci
entific revision of our currency
legislation. The Aldrich bill has
gone over to the>house unchang-
ed in its essential features, but
improved in several minor de-
tails. And now currency COM
mission is proposed to consider
the entire subject, and a measure
providing for an inquiry into the
changes and reforms required in
the banking systems of the coun-
try is promised to the senate by
Mr.. Aldrich. The idea is not
unworthy Of adoption, as public
sentiment on the currency cues
ton must be favorably develop
ed before any reform of a per-
manent nature can be instituted.
