Emcent. scientific. uniform ac-
counting by universities. colleges
and high grade educational institu-
tions has come to pass very largely
owing to the eompuision put upon
them by the vast foundations"
that do SO much TO enlarge endow-'
ments. The tests made, when these
appropriations began to be made,
showed ethical lsxity, financial
ignorance and nothing like stan
of methods in a sur
prising number OF institutions
Holding the power of the purse
over the would-be recipients,
Messrs. Carnegie, Rockefeller ano
other large donors and their lleu-
tenants simply said. Cleanup, be-
come honest and efficient, and keep
your accounts so that they can De
Understood, or you get nothing
from us" Now TO do this is not
an easy job. even II the intentions
be good. and 1t has made neces-
sary the finding and training Of
new class of accountants. Of which
Trevor Arnett probably is chief.
President Harper of Chicago Uni
versity discovered him when he
was laying the foundations Of that
institutions technical administra-
ton. Arnett steadily rose to the
higheJt place in the university's sc-
counting department and later be
came a trustee. Known as the
philosopher of accounting" he soon
began to write in a way to make
his special sort OF wisdom avail
able and as such he now has ma
tIonaI reputation. During the war
re went to Europe to supervise the
accounting of the Rockefeller Foun-
dation's relief work. Now he is
one of two secretaries OF the Cen
eraI Education Board, having
charge Of the boards financial

tained at Cambridge University and
partly at the University Of Mime

collector in a village in England

COWBOY SONG.

Arthur H. Folwell, in Leslie's
The plains were broad and flower
hlled,
And ne'er a rancher's fence was
nigh,
And men were rough and sturdy
willed,
But ready for a friend to die.
Youth was a badge worn carelessIy
When l came out to the West
countrle.
The dust hung heavy on the trails,
Where horsemen guarded thirsty
herds;
The white clouds drifted by like
"a sails,
High Ger the silent, preying birds
That poised above the prairie sea,
When l came out to the West
countrie.
The .cowtowns bllnked at US o.
nights,
When we rode in with ribald song
And there were revelings and
fights.
And many a fearless man and
strong
For coffin swapped his saddle tree
When l came out to the West
conntrie.
The trails are gone, the headboards
too; -..
Few are the riders that survive.
But memories of that saddle crew
In song and story long shall
thrive
Give me a horse. 'twixt knee and
knee,
And let me ride Ger my West
eountriel 81.

Prevention Assisted.
The 5000 members of the fire ex-
tinguishing force also assist in the
work of fire prevention. Every
thirty days each fire company COM
mander details a fireman to go
through his district looking for fire
hazards. There are. 500 fire houses
in the five boroughs of the city.
These reports from the company
commanders ultimately reach the
fire prevention bureau. which issues
the proper orders and sees they are
enforced.
The first efforts of the bureau
are directed toward safeguards to
life. Next consideration is given
to property. Then comes the edu-
cational work aimed to reduce the
number of fires. 1t costs New York
$50 every time fire engine leaves
its house. The educational pro-
gram consists of lectures delivered
in the public and parochial schools.

New York, Aug. 6.-Every year it
costs the American people about
$500, 900, 900 to furnish fire depart
ments to fight fires and to cover
losses to property. The average
annual loss of life from fires in
our country is about 1000. About
5000 persons Are injured besides.
Each family has to pay s12 a year
as its share of the tremendous dol
lar loss. Our cash fire loss in the
United States is 100000 a day,
s25,o0o an hour. $500 a minute.
CareIessne~s to Blame.
Most fires start because some
body has been careless about some
thing; matches left where children
could get them or mice could gnaw
them. Or maybe someone was heed
less in handling kerosene or ben
zine or lamps or candles or gas
Jets, or in putting hot ashes in
wooden boxes and barrels. People
who allow waste, rubbish and lit
ter of all kinds to pile up in clos
cts, cellars, attics and other places
help along the work of destruction.
Lighted matches, cigarette ends, or
cigar butts tossed by thoughtless
persons into this inflsmmable ma
terial does the greatest damage.
The bureau of fire prevention of
the New York fire department is on
the eleventh floor of the new mu-
niclpal building. commanding a
bird's-eye panorama view of lower
Manhattan. 1t costs 100000 an
nually to maintain. DIR. William F.
Doyle is Its chief. 1t has 2l0 en-
ployes, half of whom are outdoor
workers.
