FROM FIRE MARSHAL

the hope of eliminating some OF the
fire risks In our public schools,
Every years brings its toll OF lives
OF children In the schools or other
Institutions as the result OF nros. In
many cases the loss OF lie and the
injuries are caused BY panic rather
than by hres themselves, Fires often
occur from defective heating appara'
tus and from the storing OF rubbish
and oily rags under the stairs. Reg
ular inspections should be made by
the janitor and the principals OF the
schools at least once u week stair
ways are always the fire traps and
false step made by any OF the
children means a pile OF franic little
ones endeayorlng to escape and
reach a place OF safety, The only
way to save these little folks from
panic and consequent injury or death
| In case OF nre Is 10 make their es-
cape from the building as natural az
possible. To quiet their fears when
alarm Is given the teachers should
remember that the little ones look
10 them for their safe guidance Ia
the steps and out OF the building
The teachers should feel their re-
sponsibility and see that fire drills
are often held, for one little life Is
worth many times the value OF all
the school houses In the United
States and that little life Is Just as
dear to It's parents as the teachers
lives are to their parents aud
heartily appeal to every school 10
Oregon to hold weekly fire drills 50
when real fire occurs both the
children and the teachers VIII leave
the building with as little excite
ment as possible and this can onl,
