States is one hurSdred and eighty
five days; in rural communities n
hundred and thirty-eight days, a diff.
ference of f%orty-seven days. In some
States the difference is much greater
than this average. In many counties
school term is less than n hun.
dred days. and in some districts it is
less. On the other hand. in the
States of California. New York and
Connecticut, the country schools are
In session one hundred and eighty
days in a year, and in several other
States almost as long. The country
schools of Rhode Island are in ses
sion one hundred and ninety days IN
a year.
If all children are to have an equa!
opportunity for education we must,
ever up the school terms of the
country and give to all country chill
dren at least as many days as are
now given to city children. One
hundred and eighty-f1ve days OF
schooling a year for all children will
not be too much. There are coun
tries in which the schools, both fol
city and country, are in session from
two hundred and twenty to two hun
dred and fifty days or more j in the
year. American children need as
much education as those of my 9th
er country. and this applies TO the
rural as we'll as urban districts.

THE PENALTY Of
C~ARELESSNESS
BY 8. W. lnsush,
Fire Prevention Expert.

Every time you hear the cry Of
"Fire!" you a be almost absolutely
safe in thinking that someone has
been careless. Fires don't happen.
They are the inevitable result of
combinations of preventable things.
When analysed to the last equation
1t will be found that carelessness is
the root whence spring nearly all
fires.
What a penalty industry pays to
carelessness! Fire is the great de-
stroyer. The wealth of a generation
car be wiped out in but a brief hour.
Why not fight fires before they
start? Why not so conduct your
habits and SO keep your premises
that when the fire demon wants to
offer your savings as a sacrifice he
will pass you by. just as those of
Egypt Of old were passed over when
the sign they had been told to place
over their doors, were seen?
Too often when those who are
responsible from fire cry out they
are the victims of bad luck, they are
but paying the natural penalty for
their own carelessness.
If you want to keep down your fire
insurance rates, wage eternal war
fare against those things that ever
breed fires.
