SCHOOL FIRE DRILL

The value of fire drill in the public
schools was thoroughly demonstrate
ed the other day in Wheeling, w. Va.
when one OF the public school build
ings burned. The fire started in the
furnace room in the basement and
when the alarm was given 500 pupils
and their teachers marched quietly
out. One small girl was overcome
with fright and had to be carried
from the building. but aside from
this the pupils marched out In per-
feet order. 1t has been doubted IL the
Are drill would prove effective under
pressure of actual danger and expos
ure, but this case Is another demon
stration or IT'S efficiency and the deep
hold that thorough training has on
the pupil. 1t shows how the young
mind may be trained and makes
prominent the absolute necessity OF
the best teachers that can be secur-
ed. The whole future Of the pupil
Is moulded in the school room and
his success In life depends largely on
the training he receives. When 500
pupils can be safely marched out Of
a burning building in perfect order
we need no other demonstration Of
the necessity for ability and thor
oughness in the teacher. The re-
sponsibility resting on his or hel
shoulders is very great and the teach
or who can come up to the full meas
IRE OF the requirements Is never too

Small savinRs IN France.


The uniform steadlness OF French
finances is often attributed to the saw.
lngs bank system, which plays an imA
portant role In France. II every de-
post in the banks OF savings in France
represents an individual, then one per-
son in every three of the population
has a bank account. Government or
postal banks do not begin to monop-
Ollie the business Of caring for small
savings in France. for, although they
pay good interest they attract but lit
tie more than half OF the number Of
deposits and hold but little over one
third OF the amount on deposit. About
$500 In the limit Of any deposit which
the postal bank will receive. The aver
age on deposit at the close Of 1904, the
last year for which statistics are avail
able, was $52.79. and there were then
4,345,446 depositors, having to their
credit 1920, 15S,2 200. During the past
three years this total was increased
by nearly $40oOO,O0O. The interest
may be compounded. and the rate Is
uniformly 2h per cent Three years
ago the postal banks Of France mum
bered 1883.
Besides the convenient postal banks
the thrifty French also trust thell
small savings to banks controlled by
municipalities and by private firms
These numbered over 1000 in 1904
Three years ago this system Of banks
had on deposit $500, 953. 574, represent
ing over 100000 deposltors. These
banks pay interest at 2 and per cent

AlcohoI on the IOofensive,

The United States Is not the only
country agltated by the temperance
question at this time. Roumania. a
nation TO which the world has not been
accustomed to look for drastic reform,
proposes to regulate drinking by insti-
tuting a government monopoly on sales
and turning the saloons over to the
municipalities. something after the
plan in Russia. The number Of bars
will be limited. and the saloons must
not remain open after o'clock at
night on Sundays or religious feast
days; also habitual drunkards must
not be served with liquor.
1t is worthy Of note that China's war
against that form Of indulgence due to
the opium habit Is progressing, but
perhaps the most significant temper
ance news from the old world is the
attitude OF several distinguished
Frenchmen toward alcohol. 1t win be
remembered that one reason given fol-
the wine growers grievances, which
last summer resulted In a riot, was
that light beer and temperance drinks
have been supplantlng wine in the IA
vor OF the French lmblbers for some
years. Recently several noted French
authors and composers, among them
salnt-Saens. Massenet and Sardou, de.
nounced alcohol as a poison and depre-
Gated its use as a mental stlmulant
This view is In decided opposition to
the notion which long prevailed in
France that brllliancy in thought could
be produced by alcohol In some form.
