WORK THAT WILL BE FUN.

Chicago will try an experiment in
municipal house cleaning this year
that should prove to be a great sue
cess. 1t is to enlist the services of
286,000 school children in a one day
campaign for cleanliness. Mayor
Busse has issued a proclamation set
ting next Friday as the day for the
campaign and suggesting that princi-
pals and school teachers outline a
program for the male pupils under
their charge, and President Schneider
of the school board directed the clos
ing of all public schools that after
noon SO the children, armed with
broom, mop, rake and bucket, might
aid in cleaning up the city.
The school boys will enjoy it.
While it would be work if they were
set to work alone in their own back
yard, it would be genuine fun to get
out with crowd of boys and the
teacher looking on. to thoroughly
clean up the neighborhood.
And the lesson in the necessity of
an occasional housekeeping outside
the home will be valuable one to
Young America.

only one kind of a school house that

"Uncle Joe" Cannon put this query
ito delegation Of Japanese newspaper
men who were in party that called
on the speaker yesterday:
do you write things two ways at
once that haven't happened one way
at all, so that the whole business will
be fresh for contradiction the next
day."
I Some of the American newspaper
men present might have asked the
Nipponese journalists if the Japanese
statesmen were in the habit Of saying
two things at once that hadn't hap
pened at all and then denying it all
the next day. 1t is this practice in
America more than the imagination of
the reporters that results in such a
wealth of "fake'' newspaper reading.

say that there is no such thing as
fire-proof construction that any kind
of a building will burn. That is true
the outside, but with concrete doors
and mackolite partitions no fire start
ed from the inside could make any
Roadway. Fire-proof building do not
burn except in conf1agrations like the
one in Chicago generation ago
when there is enough heat applied
from the outside to melt even granite
walls. But there is no school building
with concrete construction that could
burn quick enough to engulf one hun
dred and sixty-four pupils.
1t is nothing less than criminal
carelessness to go on building fire

housed in. Fire drills and so on

stricken.

call attention of the school authori-
