KEROSENE EXPLODED
Dearborn Morse Severely Burn
ed and House Set on Fire Sun
day Evening.

Dearborn Morse, who resides on
Derby street, was severely burned
Sunday evening when a can of kero-
sene which he was using to build a
fire in the stove, exploded. The
kerosene saturated his clothes and
set fire to the house. Mr.. Morse
rushed from the house and rolled in
snowbank, extinguishing the flames
on his clothing but not until he had
suffered severe burns about his arms
and legs. The fire alarm was rung
and the blaze supposedly put out,
but while the "all out" alarm was
ringing fire was discovered in the
shed adjoining by F. E. Russell.
Quick work put this out, but several
lines of clothes were practically de-
stroyed and the rooms blackened by
smoke. Mr.. Morse suffered intense
ly from his burns. 1t was fortunate
that he was able to put the flames
out for they would soon have been
fatal. There has been several cases
of exploding kerosene cans, all point
ing to quick formation of gas not
ordinarily found in kerosene. 1t
would be well to take chemical an
alysis of this brand that the public
and dealers might be safeguarded
and loss of life and property pre-
vented.

Changes in School Curriculum

Active cooperation of the Brighton
schools with the State Board of Edu-

mont among the very efficient pro-
ducers is contemplated. This neces-
states some slight changes in SUBJ
jects of study but nothing of revo-
lutionary character. The agricultural
aspects of all studies will be strongly
emphasized and two new studies of
fered. Practical agriculture, includ-
ing the study of soils, fertilizers, ro-
tation of crops, etc., will be given
the boys while the girls will take up
the study of Home-nursing, First
Aids. Hygiene and Sanitation. Each
pupil will be encouraged to maintain
a home garden and plans are being
matured whereby every pupil will
have additional garden work under
supervision. The physical phase of
education which has lately been un-
dertaken will be thoroughly carried
out and every effort made to have
Island Pond High school a potent
factor in the great work of the pres
ent. P. A. Saunders.
