into the subject thoroughly, espe-
cially with regard to the progress
made by the school children do not

He has divided the children into
groups and the parents Of any school
children who come under the head
OF any OF these divisions. especially
the one OF the child who deceives his
parents concerning daily school re-

superintendent's advice and seek an
immediate interview with the
teacher.
Professor Thornburgh's explana-

Thousands OF persons today planning home build

Naturally the foremost considerations with majority
OF these and women economy utility and beauty
Some are hesitatng because, while they much prefer
building Of wood because is the cheapest well the
most mobile and decorative material, they imagine that
some other construction would be "nreproof."
The fact that there such thing as "nreproof
home within the reach the ordinary pockebook and If
there were such thing, would be dnculi to build an
attractive home along such lines The best thing for any
body to do is to build scientifically and the frame house
that built right is fire resistye for all ordinary risks,
certainly carries special hazards for the occupants
inasmuch construction perfected is fully
80 per cent less liable to combustion than similar homes
built ten or fifteen years ago.
When The properly built modern frame house does
catch nre it almost impossible for the connagraton to
spread rapidly because OF the fire stops" placed through
out the building and because the materials which might
ordinarily communicate fire to wood properly insu-
lated These fire stops not only keep fire from spreading
rapidly but they reduce by 30 per cent the danger OF
fires starting within the building itself
Such construction adds very little to the original cost
Of the building and gives all reasonable immunity against
fire destruction The OF this advanced type
Of frame construction which should be vitay interesting
in this OF renewed home building is the contribution
Of the lumber industry to Fire Prevention Week.
In the observance OF that week the people OF Delaware
and the other parts OF the Demarvia Peninsula should
enter heartily and make Il productive reducing the rt
