That Is Loud Cry Raised BY
. Leading Newspapers In &
England

London, September 15.-[Corres
pondence of The Associated Press.]
Several London newspapers are
conducting a campaign to bring about
the separation of England's telephone
service from postoffice department
control. These papers cite the highly
efficient telephone systems of the
United States as an example of what
might be accomplished in England.
In one year, one large American
telephone company installed more
new phones than have been added
to London's system in forty years,
one of these papers declares.
A telephone is priced possession
in what relatively few London homes
have them A resident of the British
capital cannot have telephone SIM
ply by ordering it. Lack of equip
ment and personal has made ex-
pansion of the city's telephone serv-
ice in arrears of requirements. A
person holding telephone contract
and Intending toI leave the city us
ually. advertises in a newspaper the
fact and invites offers of premiums,
as he has the privilege of sub-letting
his contract. Contracts have been
transferred for premiums from 5000
to $780,

This Subject Is To Be Discussed
On Thursday; Matters
Educational

Thursday, October 8, is Fire Pre-
vention Day. A speaker will be pro-
vided for a brief period in each
building as follows:
Union, fourth, fifth and sixth grades
1:S0-1:45.
Lincoln, fourth, fifth and sixth
grades, 215-2:45.
Franklin. fourth, fifth and sixth
grades, 3:10-3:25.

High school, meetings to be an,
nounced.
A small book, Safeguarding the
Home Against Fire." is to be found
in each building in sufficient quaint
tbs so that teachers can make good
use Of it, II is suggested that some
of the the Iftters referred to in this
little book should be presented in
effective ways at sometime during the
day so that every pupil will have
some definite ideas of some things
he ought to do in order to avoid fire
danger.
Some schools will observe the day
as Patriotic Fire Prevention Day,
the underlying idea being that a ma
tional conaagration of bolshevism
and anarchy and restructiveness of in
stutions IS TO be guarded against. The
time is too short to prepare anything
among this line now, but possibly the
exercises of Thursday ought to lead
to some such discussion few days
later in the upper grades and high
school.
The National Education association
is very active body of thirty five
thousand teachers. 1t is functioning
in ways never before undertaken by
any organization in America. Every
