MISUNDERSTANDING STATISTICS.

A REPRESENTATIVE of the Bureau Of
L n the Census Department at Washington has
been in the city making preparations for collect
ing statistics from the manufacturing concerns
which work will soon begin. This is one OF the
most important tasks of the department and one
which needs hearty cooperation on the part OF
manufacturers in order to be successful. There
will be, we informed, no prying into the pri-
vate business Of the corporations, but the infor
nation gathered will be similar 10 that secured
in previous censuses. It is highly important for
the standing of Wilmington that the census takers
should be given every kind of facility to get in
formation for the official records of the govern
ment give the city the position that it is TO
assume in the manufacturing world.
With the cordial support on the part of our
manufacturers and business men, we believe the
task of the census gathcrers will be much light
ened
OF late years Wilmington has been very active
in the business and manufacturing world. The
city has forged 10 the front as never before and
our Board of Trade has been making. much Of
Wilmington as manufacturing and business
center. The advantages of the city have been
rightly heraded abroad and our city has been
ably represented at all national gatherings
1t is therefore of consequence that this work
shall be continued, that the official records should
sustain all that has been said about Wilmington.
1t is highly desirable that every bit of information
asked by the census men should be freely offered
SO that the records shall be made accurate and
complete. Such examinations as that to be made
by the gathering of industrial statistics made
only once in ten years and it is to these records
that those who may intend to locate here frc-
quently turn.
The only danger is that the census gatherers
may overlook something We think it would
be proper for the Board of Trade to call attention
of the manufacturers to the necessity of seeing
that complete statistics are supplied, Nothing
should be lost or overlooked in the way of such
information. The census is the official record,
the final "show down"

Editorial
Opinion
POSTAGE on .Maaazinsn.

Editor OF THE EVENING JOURNAL:
There is a bill In preparation In Con-
gress to increase tho postage on second
class mail matter.
Why this is necessary is a question
that agitates those who receive weekly
and monthly publications.
The postal deficit IS given a. one reason
for the increase by one high in author
ity in this country. lie says the Post
Office Department does not pay. Let me
ask, il the War Department pays, or the
Navy, or the Weather Bureau?
The Postoffice Department IS vitality
necessary TO the business interests OF the
nation, and should maintained not by
charging more for carrying second-class
matter, but by cutting rates paid the
railroads for their services. They charge
the government seven i.mes as much for
transporting mail cars as they do the
express companies for hauling theirs.
In conclusion let me say that in Cana
da the rate on second-class mail matter is
one-fourth that exacted by our govern
ment, and newspapers In the same coun-
try are carried free within radius Of
eighty miles OF the pace OF publication.
Yours truly,

HEAVY LOSSES nv FIRE

r IRES cost the people of the United States
= S45o,4S5,ooo in the year 1909 and caused the
Heath Of I,449 persons and resulted in injuries to
5,654 others.
These are real statistics presented in a report
issued by the United States Geological Survey
The enormous total of fire loss is figured to in
clude the excess cost of fire protection due to bad
construction and excess premiums over insurance
paid II does not include forest fires.
The predominance of frame BUILDINGS is the
primary cause, the report states OF fire loss. with
defective construction and faulty eouipment
second This fire loss of over a million day is
eight times as much as that of any European
country per capita loss in the United States
oi S2sI against an average of AZ cents abroad
i hese hgures are based on the direct loss from
destruction OF buildings and their contents
amounting to S2I5oS47oo during 1907.
The $456,4S5,ooo Of fire loss is far in ex-
cess OF the total value of all the gold. silver.
copper and petroleum produced in 1907 in the
United States. 1t indicates that over one half Of
the value Of all the new buildings constructed
throughout the nation in year is DESTROYED
by fire.
According to the report the annual fire cost Is
greater than the value Of the real property and
improvements in Maine, West Virginia, North
Carolina North Dakota, Alabama, Louisiana
and Montana.
As indicating that fireproof construction is far
superior to inflammable buildings with high in
stranee, the report stated that the United States
government IS now spending 100000 year
Tor new buildings, none Of which are insured, but
which are constructed absolutely frenroof
lhc results already obtained" SAYS the re-
port, show that cheaper freproof materials
can be used and that the difference in cost be-
tween hreproof and inhammable buildings will
soon become so small that it will cease to en-
}urage nimsy construction"

scHooL EXAMINATIONS.

G UPERINTENDENT Twitmyer of the pub
~ lie schools declares that there is no rule in
force to his knowledge which forbids pupils in
the public schools to take home their books and
by extra study prepare for examination. Some
parents in the city to think that pupils
failed to win promotion because home study was
prohibited. II may have been that some teachers
did forbid such study but If so, they were simply
adopting rule which will probably be enforced
in many schools at no distant day If such teachers
forbid home study, they have in mind the idea of
forcing the pupils to do steady term work instead
-ef attempting to get up the term work by extra
studying during few days.
Indeed with many educators the system Of
examinations, except those merely of a per-
functory nature. is falling into dsfavor. A
pupil ought TO be able to do we'll with his reci-
tations by studying during school hours.
In many schools and colleges too much stress
has been put upon examinations, with the result
that a student neglects his work during the term
and attempts TO prepare for an examination by a
few hours OF studying with tutors or a few hours
OF extra studying. The average pupil that has
done his work faithfully during a term has little
need for extra preparation for examination, and
II is the steady term work rather than examina-
tions that should count in promotions.

The excellent article on the need of medical
examination of public school children written by
DR. William c. Pierce, breathes so fully the
highest spirit of the generosity that charaeterzes
the medical profession and the physician who
feels under obligation to the community, that it
IS difficult to utter a word of dissent Perhaps
the plan suggested by Dr. Pierce would work
out well, but we do not think the community
desires this work done without expense by the
physicians because the city is amply able to pay
Tor 1t. The physicians have enough calls on
their time by those who are in needy circum-
stances and there is no reason why they should
give their labor to the city when the city should
compensate them.
