city are not policed; water mains are
indispensable, but some people can
not reach them. We could not ger
along without our very efficient fire
department but some sections of the
city it cannot serve But the schools
are open for all of the children of all
of the people
But the question may be asked:
Does Furlow school need to be re-
built?' The answer is, Come and
see." No use saying that it should
have been rebuilt when the High
School was built. The High School
was a necessity. For a great many
reasons it ought to be separated from
the smaller children, but if all these
reasons had been set aside and Fur
low school have been rebuilt with the
money used for the High School, then
there would be no room for at least
the seven grades now in the new
building. However, let us grant that
somebody made a mistake yesterday
What are we going to do about to-
days necessities?
Furlow school is not sanitary. It
was built more than half century
ago, when four walls, with some Win
dows and a door, with a roof over all,
were considered good enough,s but
public health service is no longer a
medical monopoly. 1t is demanded 20
! day, in every department of the
worlds work, that regard be had for
the health and the comfort of the
workers, because it pays in increased
efficiency. Good schools must be prop
erly housed. Next to efficient teach
ing, the most important requirement
for successful school work is com
Portable, sanitary buildings with ade-
quate equipment
A man with a farm worth $4,000
does not hesitate to provide ample

knows overcrowding doesn't pay. Is
there any one who can give a reason
that he will not be ashamed of why a

not profitable as we'll as necessity for
the children Of Americus?
Furlow school is entirely without
any kind of ventilation and poorly
lighted. Many of the rooms are as
dark as closets; absolutely ruinous ID
the eyes of the children, as evidenced
by the number of children there wear
Ing glasses. By actual count few
days ago, it was found that 6 1-2 per
cent. of the children in Furlow school
were forced to wear glasses. There
are none wearing glasses in the first
two grades, but after they are here a
few years the number with defective
eyes is fearfully large, and if a med
ical inspection were made, as should
be provided, and as is provided IN
most city systems now, still greater
number of weak eyes would be found.
There are three types of institutions
maintained by taxation-jails. asylums
and school houses Fortunately, few
of us have to stay long or frequently
IN our jails or asylums, but children
must spend many years in school

THE SPIRIT OF 1918

We must provide fol our children
IN giving them the advantages this
10th century demands in order that
we may best meet the problems of
life-it would be heartless for us to
deny them the privileges which
would make great men and women
of them. We must also protect life
and property by continuing to fur
nlsh pure water and in a greater
abundance However we may look
at these matters there is only one
practical solution-the means with
which to make possible these neces-
sary improvements and the money
can only be secured through bond
issues. We may think that it takes
lots Of money and it does, but re-
member the city is growing fast,
your property is enhancing in value
and you are profiting far more than
the amount you are called upon to
contribute on account of the increase
in property. 1t is good business
proposition to you in dollars and
cents. Treat the matter as you
would another business proposition
and if you do you will decide for
progress and that means bonds.

HUMANE SOCIETY NEEDED

Will space be allowed me in your
valuable paper to ask question
that is uppermost in the minds OF a
number of our people. Believing
bv this method to reach many who
seemingly give this question no
thought and that is. Why has High
Point no Humane Society? If so
WHY are sick and disabled horses
allowed to be worked? not only that,
but over worked? right in the midst
of our progressive city in every
respect but this one?
If one will pause a moment and
consider what a disgrace to our
beautiful streets to see these poor
helpless animals dragging their
heavy burdens and being beaten as
the writer has many times seen not
only with whips but with sticks and
even once board was used. An.
other instance not over two weeks
ago a mule was being worked with
a raw surface at least ten inches
long that the hairless rubbed at
every step. Good people, DO you
think this is pretty picture to be
framed with the city beautiful or
the city of violets?" No, you can
not think so. You that have not
thought of this, look and remember
that some one should take up this
matter and see that High Point has

Damage BY Forest Fires
Now Comparatively Small

The Department of Agricul-
ture has been figuring up the
losses by fires of the National
Forests for the calendar year
1912, and finds that they were
the lowest Of recent years. Less
than one acre TO every thousand
of timbered lands was burned
over, and the total damage is
estimated at $75, 200, or less than
one dollar to every 1000 acres Of
area.
The good record is attributed
to, first, favorable weather con-
ditions in most localities. and
second, the increased efficiency
of the hre-fghting organization.
AS congress makes available the
means for extending the system
of communications on the Nation
al Forests, the equipment of
trails, roads, telephones, and
lookout stations is yearly enlarged
and the fires, it is said, are dis
covered more quickly and fought
more rapidly.
An especially good showing
was made by the Forest officers
last year in extinguishing fires
outside the National Forests he
fore they reached the Forest
boundaries. Such fires constitut-
ed more than one.sixth Of all
fought by the Forest rangers and
guards. About nine-tenths were
extinguished before they touched
the forests. OF the fires within
the Forest boundaries more than
l8 per cent were on lands in pri-
vate ownership. Nearly one
fourth of the extra expenditures
due to fighting fires that is, ex-
penditures outside the time of
the regular Forest force was in
Cured in fighting these fires.
Lightning caused more fires
than any other agency, followed
by railroads, campers and incen-
diaries, in the order gwen. The
greatest losses occurred in Arizo-
ma, Arkansas. and California, in
which states there was also the
largest proportion of fires caused
by lightning and by incendiarism
About q per cent of all the fires
were started by lightning and
about 80 per cent were due to
carelessness.
