the study of this great economic
problem. By dividing the students
into two committees, and having
each committee investigate and
report upon a block Or district of
the town, it is thought two useful
purposes will be served, to-wit: 1,
Many remediable defects could be
brought to the attention of property
owners and corrected; and 2, it
would be splendid training for the
students and an important step in
th4ir education. In addition to i'm
pressing upon their youthful minds
the important facts in connection
with the subject, it would train their
powers of observation and De a liter
airy exercise in the making out of
the reports.
Furthermore, through the children
the parents might become interested
and the entile community be brought
to a better understanding of the
great economic problem involved in
the prevention of fire waste.
Donaldsonville was selected as the
place for beginning this campaign Of
conservation because of the cordial
interest and cooperation manifested
by the municipal authorities, headed
by Mayor Walter Lemann, and Prin-
cipal R. S. Vickers and his colleagues
of the high school faculty. In COM
menting on the experiment, Mr.
Vickers said:
"These visits of inspection will
first be made with Mr.. Church, in
order that the boys nay be properly
instructed in the nature of their du-
ties. It is believed that very benefi-
cial results will be attained by this
movement, not only in educating the
young people in the Importance of
preventing fires, but it will train
their powers of observation and
school them in the duties of citizen
ship, besides materially reducing the
fire hazard in this city
''The Donaldsonville High School
has the unique distinction of being
the first school to try this expert
ment, and it is hoped the public
spirited citizens of the community
will encourage the movement and
aid its success by extending every
facility to the boys in their visits
