Praise Weather.

The present blizzard served to m
phasize the fact that this has been a
remarkably open winter. This has
been especially appreciated by he
contractors who have been able TO
work practically all of the winter as
though no colder weather was ex-
pected. Contractor John II. McClay,
who has been working on the addition
to ST. Margaret's hospital. says that
he has never seen a winter like it.
Construction work of all kinds is
greatly advanced as a result Of the
clemency of the weather.

against the different temptations. All
the learning in the world will not do
that.
The school is a labor saving inven-
ton. 1t is a tool and the handiest one
yet devised for it's purpose.
A fire drill was held yesterday after
noon. 1t was the first one held for
some time and consequently the es-
capes were rusty and were not in very
good working order. A drill held
about once a week would keep them,
the slides, more smooth.
Basketball practice was held last
night at 7:15.
For opening exercises yesterday
morning Mayor Becker spoke to the
students of the high school. He spoke
on the value of a high school train
ing in a literary way and brought in
some interesting Illustrations. He then
spoke on the same theme. but from a
different viewpoint, stating that it was
far better to graduate from the high
school han to enter and finish two
years and then go to some preparatory
school for university or college. His
talk was very interesting and instruc-
tive.

Items Gathered in
From Far and Near
Idle Curiosity.

From Charleston News and Courier.
Many we'll meaning persons are apt
to confuse what they regard as inter-
est in others with idle curiosity and
thereby cause annoyance If not actual
suffering, besides placing themselves
in an unenviable light. Very often
the display of curiosity is unconscious
and arises from desire to give evil
dence to some friend of a willingness
on our part to share his confidence,
but the friend is very sure to not av-
all himself of this opportunity, else
he would have sought it himself.
There are some sorrows in nearly ev-
cry ones life which reach down too
deeply in the heart to bear even the
kindliest inquisition; sorrows which
we are not willing to speak of volun-
tarily even to those nearest and dear
est to US, and yet it often happens
that it Is upon such a subject as this
that some kind friend is apt to quest
ion us. OF course a curiosity of this
sort is more than idle: it is an evil
dence Of lack of consideration, to say
the least, and is supposed not to OBJ
tain in genteel society, and yet we
venture to say that there is hardly a
person in this wide world of ours
who has not at some period when
misfortune has entered his life suf-
fered from the idle curiosity of some
supposed friend.

protection from the pending contract
with the Richmond City Water Works.
A building code can be put in force
anytime that council has accumulat-
ed sufficient data to establish good
one.
A franchise or contract Nor the
question seems more than debatable,)
Is on the other hand, Of such long du-
ration that fire protection from that
source should not be clouded by over
attention to the building code, so that
the contract slip through.
No one will deny that some small
structures have recently gone up of 4
flimsy nature which would not be toll
Grated in other communities-therea are
also some old structures which will
one day be decided menace il they
are not at the present time.
The increase in electric wiring. NOV
ing picture shows, etc, undeniably in
crease fire risk and many avenues OF
danger are constantly added as bust
ness and invention become more COM
pick. The building code of a city
should be up to date and not permit
the construction OF buildings which un-
der earlier conditions were safe enough
but which are now fire traps. No one
will deny that.
But there is another feature of n
building code beyond the highly utili-
tartan purpose of adequate fire protec-
ton. The construction of buildings
out of solid materials and by honest
workmanship is more than desirable
for building up good town. Low
shacks and tumble down buildings are
not good signs in a live town.
There is no question, as we said be-
fore, of new building code. 1t
should be the most modern in every
way, both for real fire protection, re-
duction of insurance rates in compli-
ance with the ratings of the insurance
companies, and above all else, for the
building up of substantial and at
tractive business district.
OF the technical side of what a
building code for Richmond should
contain, we shall have something TO
say when the questions come up.
In the meantime a building code
should not distract public attention
from the water works question.
