MANY ARE KILLED
YEARLY BY FIRES
In Fifteen Years, 10000 Lives
and $2,OOO.OOO, 900 Has
Constituted Loss.

New York, May 25.-More than co.
900 lives and $4,000. 900, 900 worth of
property have been sacrificed to fire
in the United States during the past
fifteen years, said President w. H.
Merrill in his annual address before
the National Fire Protection Associa-
ton.
President Merrill said in part:
Fifteen years is brief space of
time in the history of an organization;
1t is briefer in the history of a nation.
Yet for our country. this period in
cludes the San Francisco, Baltimore,
Chelsea and Bangor conflagrations,
the Windsor. Iriquois. Collingswood,
Boyertown, Slocum. Lenox, Cherry,
Newark, Chicgo stock yards, and Asch
disaster; not day without it's long
list of properties destroyed and not a
month without record of the sacrifice
of human life. 1t marks a burnt Of
fering of more than $4,000. 1000. 900
worth of our created resources, and
the lives of more than 10000 of our
people.
Had those 10000 persons been kill
ed fighting for their country rather
than simply for their lives, their fame
would be everlasting. Had these
$4,000, 100000 of property value been
wiped out by invasion of a foreign foe
the call for defense would meet with
an universal response. But west of
the Mississippi people are bit hazy
as to whether a thousand souls per-
ished with the steamer General Slo-
cum from fire or shipwreck, and east
thereof not altogether certain as to
how or whether each one should play
a soldiers part in combating this
neighborly enemy-Fire.
Officials Accuse Each Other
Following each recurring horror
committed by this enemy of mankind,
public officials point accusingly each
to the other. organizations adopt res
olutions, and indictments are made
against individuals, departments and
communities. The Iriquois disaster
furnished fire curtains for theaters
and a memorial hospital in Chicago;
TIC <ASSu UulIulH6 uOIIOE Will uIl-
doubtedly result in some things of ben
eft to the people of New York. But
consider the needless sacrifices for
such comparatively small gains! And
think of the benefits to be derived
from concentrating all of the we'll
meaning efforts occasioned by such
catastrophes into the working machin-
cry of common agency.
efficiency is 4 popular word today.
Efficiency in fire protection and pre-
vention is defined by joint national
effort for the common good. And the
most effectual, uniform. certain and
expeditions way to do this is to sup
port to the fullest essent and to util-
ize wherever practicable, the tried and
proven methods and machinery of the
National Fire Protection association"

CHICAGO BLIND ARE
ATTENDING SCHOOL
Particular Attention Is Civ.
en- Their Institution by
Education Board.

Chicago, May 25.-Facilities for the
instruction of the blind children of
Chicago in the public schools is one of
the phases of city education which is
receiving particular emphasis by the
board of education. In no city on this
continent is there such a comprehen-
sive course of education for the blind
maintained at the public expense as in
Chicago. 1t is fully abreast, if not SUI
perior to the German schools, which,
until recent years. were the leaders in
the education OF this kind.
There are now four schools in the
city of Chicago in which there are
rooms exclusively for the use of the
blind children. Here the tiny tots
who have never known the pleasures
OF childhood, who have been deprived
of participation in the childish sports
by their affliction. and who have new
er seen the bright sky are given an OPP
portunity to become self-respecting
and self-supporting men and women
1t is literally case of the blind
leading the blind" for ]. B. Curtis. the
city superintendent of the blind. is
himself blind man He is able to
comprehend the needs of the sightless
children
Under the supervision of Mr.. Cur
tbs are four teachers-Miss Baker of
the jain school, at Belmont and Lin
coin avenues; Miss Drake of the Clark
school, Miss Devine of the Adams
school and Miss Colburn of the Felsen-
thai. These teachers have received
special training in this kind of work
deal with the peculiar problems which
confront an instructor in teaching the
little blind children.
Manual Arts in Curriculum
necessity occupy the greater part of
the curriculum, as it is only by devel-
opment of the sense of touch that the
child can become acquainted with the
world. The children are taught type
writing, sewing, basket and hammock
weaving, work in clay and other arts.
They are also taught to read by means
of the raised letter alphabet, and to
comprehend mathematics by concrete
illustrations with blocks.
1t is revelation to person who
has never seen such school to OBJ
serve how the dull. hopeless look SO
common to the blind is effaced, and in
it's stead comes an expression of hope
and JOY. Those who have investigat-
ed the schools declare this long neg
lected phase of education is one of the
best things that is being done in the
city schools at the present time.

WOMAN REMOVED NEE.
DIE FROM HER ANKLE

Logansport, Ind, May 25.-As Mrs.
Peter Whalen was pulling on her
stocking her hand was pricked. She
found a needle point protruding from
the flesh at her ankle.
Mrs. Whalen says that about eight
teen years ago she became suddenly
excited while holding a needle in her
mouth. When the excitement was
over the needle was gone. but she al.
ways thought that 1t had dropped to
the floor. She had suffered from
pains in her left leg, but thought they
were rheumatic until the needle was
removed.
