THE RECOGNITION OF HERoIsNT

The auunal award has just been made of Carnegie Hero Fund medals and prizes. It is 8 significant phase of this work that of the A acts of heroisn. 13 of the heroes lost their lives They took desperate chances. Most of the heroes are young men and women, indicating that persons with older heads and more prudence do not take these risks.
 Apparently the recipients of these prizes. are mostly obscure persons. As the people who do things are little given to talk, 1t is probable that they would attract less than the average amount of attention. A man capable of these generous acts has large pos abilities for service. The result of giving these awards must be larger openings in the world for young peo- pie possessing fine qualities who other erwise might remain in the back ground unnoticed.
 The larger part of the heroic acts thus noticed result from some ones careIessness. If people kept out of deep water until they could swim well, if they 0were cautions about fire if they kept off the thin ice, few peo- pie would have to risk their lives te save others from peril. Many would
