COOPER TALKS
 ON SAFETY TO LIFE IN SCHOOLS

At the meeting of the National Education association, department Of administration, committee on stan dardization of schoolhouse planning City, March 3, 1921 Frank Irving Cooper, architect, Boston, spoke as follows on Safety to Life in Schools"
 This meeting is one of tremendous importance. The Department of Ad- ministration of the National Educa- ton Association, for the first time of icia1ly, calls the attention of the as yociation to the ever increasing dan ger from fire and panic threatening the school children of America. '"Ten years ago the Russell Sage Foundation authorized the first in vestigation of State School Building Regulations. That investigation found Ohio and Connecticut the only states having regulations to safe guard school children against fires in schoo1houses. "Ten years ago the National 1nsur- ance files recorded but one fire a day in school buildings Today, after ten | years of erecting more school build | ings, these same files recorded live
 fires a day in the school buildings of l this country, and there is no telling how many more fires go unrecorded.
 s.The loss of a school child's life | has become so common that no rec ord is kept. Only when the children
  papers outside of the immediate To-
 cality note, the fact.
 This destruction of life and | treasure is preventable, yet the par | ents, public and school officials do nothing.
 ." Called to inspect the schools of 1 a New England town th1S past week | fire hazard was brought to the atten- | tfon of the superintendent. He ad-
 mftted\ that he knew there were haz- ards, and said that with bated breath | he waited every time the fire alarm | rang during school hours until he | learned that the fire was not in a SchoolhouSe.
 | Twill the National Euducaion as | sociation act to. stop this burning Of
 schoolhouses? Will it not demand of | every member, of every superinten-
 dent, individual effort to bring about | safety regulations in all States for the | planning and construction of school | houses?
 'eNo longer is there an excuse for
 putting this business off. Inforna- l tion on these matters is available, it is | free. Anyone, official or private cit 1 izen, for the asking may have the re- l suits of the experience of competent | experts on every phase of the prob l lem of fire prevention.
 | The expenditure of but moderate
 sums would make these daily fires inn possible.
 "Do not blame school officials, or | legislators. The blame rests on each 1 ONE of us. We do not work to our | utmost for safety regulations for l schools.
 | Let the points of these remarks
 stay with you. Other important | subjects, other interesting matters | will claim your attention, but there
 is no topic more vital than the saving | of a school child's life.
 1' "Go home determined to start the | work in your own town. Legislation
 is needed; the public must be taught | the need of safety legislahon; the | securing of State School Building l Regulations must come.

SAYS DEATH Y IS UNREAL

Proves That the Dead Still Live.
 Remarkable evidence that there is no death, there are no dead, is offer ed by Lloyd Kenyon Jones, Room 151s, 53S s. Clark St.. Chicago, in his book entitled Gods World.' in which he shows how, through Gods own law, the spirits of those who have passed through the portals of Death can and do communicate with those on earth. One should be cheered by the thought that loved ones have not been transmitted into cold, unemo- tiona1 individualities by death, for Gods door is always open between earth life and eternal life, where we all will be united forever. In his Illustrated booklet Communication, '' he presents his view of life, here and beyond the grave, which will enable you to understand Gods World" and show you how to obtain happiness and fuller understanding of life here and in the hereafter. Simply send your name to the author at the above address and the book will be sent to you free of all charges Adv.

BY GEN. THE RIGHT HON. JAN
 CHRISTIAN SHUTS,

Premier of the Union of South Africa.
 Pretoria, South Africa-It has been suggested that I should write a short
 estimate and appraisal of the work of
 President Wilson on the termination
 of his Presidency of the United States
 of America. I feel must comply
 with the suggestion. I feel I may not
 remain silent when there is an oppor-'
 tunlty to say a word of appreciation
 for the work of one with whom
 came into close contact at a great
 period and who rendered the most
 signal service to the great human cause.
 There is a great saying of Momm- | close of HannibaPs career in failure and eclipse. "On those whom the
 gods love they lavish infinite joys and
 infinite sorrows.' It has come back to my mind in reference to the close of Wilson's, career. For a few brief moments he was not only the leader of the greatest state in the world; he
 was raised to far giddier heights and became the centre of the worlds hopes. And then he fell, misunder- stood and rejected by his own people, and his great career closes apparent | ly in signal and tragic defeat.
 What is the explanation of this tremendous tragedy, which is not solely American, which closely con cerns the whole world? Of course,
 there are purely American elements
 in the explanation, which I am not competent to speak on. But besides the American quarrel with President Wilson there is something to be said 1 on the great matters in issue. On these may be permitted to say a few words.
 The position occupied by President Wilson in the worlds imagination at the close of the Great War and at
 the beginning of the Peace Confer ence was terrible in it's greatness. It
 was a terrible position for any mere
 man to occupy. Probably to no hu-
 man being in all history did the hopes, the prayers, the aspirations | of so many millions of his fellows turn at the close of the war. At a time of the deepest darkness and despair, he had raised aloft a light to which all eyes had turned. He had spoken divine words of healing

and consolation to a broken human
 ity. His lofty moral -idealism seem
 ed for a moment to dominate the
 brutal passions which had torn the
 old world asunder. And he was supposed to possess the secret which
 would remal>e the world on fairer
 lines. The peace which Wilson was
 bringing to the world was expected to be Gods peace. Prussianism lay
 crushed; brute force had failed ut terly. The moral character of the
 universe had been most signally vim
 dicated. There was universal vague hope of a great moral peace,
 of a new world order arising visibly and immediately on the ruins of the
 old This hope was not a mere su-
 perfcial sentiment. It was the in
 tense expression at the end of the war
 of the inner moral and spiritual force
 which had unborne the peoples dur
 ing the dark night of the war and
 had nerved them to an effort almost surely, God had been. with them in
 that long night of agony. His was the victory; His should be the peace.
 And President Wilson was looked
 peace. He had voiced the great ideals of the new order; his great utterances had become the >contrac- tua1 basis for tn arnistice and the peace. The idealiSn of Wilson would
 surely become the reality of the new order of things in the Peace Treaty.
 In this atmosphere of extravagant, almost frenzied expectation he ar rived at the Paris Peace Conference Without hesitation he plunged into that inferno of human passions He went down into the Pit hike second Heracles to bring back the fair Aces tis of the worlds desire.
 The people, the common people of | all lands, did not understand the sig | nificance of what had happened.
 They saw only that hard, lovely Prussian Peace, and the great Hope died in their hearts.
 And the odium for all this fell es- pecially on President Wilson. Round 1 him the hopes had centred; round him | the diffusion and despair now gather | ed. Popular opinion largely held him
 responsible for the bitter disappoint- | ment and grievous failure.
 | Will this judgment, born of mo- l mentary disilIusion and disappoint- 1 ment, stand in future, or will it be re- l versed?

 Under the plan the farmer, the work ingman. the clerk, the stenographer, the salesman and the telephone oper- ator would take up the burden that the men of big means wish to relinquish.
 Men of heavy incomes, spectators and profiteers, have all chafed under the taxes levied on them during the last few years. Heavy percentages of their incomes were drafted for the war, aud they didn't like it. They hated Wilson because his administration was the first to place much of the cost of government on them.,. They want the everyday worlsingman to shoulder the cost. And they will bring heavy pres~ sure to bear on the incoming adminis- tration to put it on him.
 There is one thing that the 1Dan of big income will always have -as com pensation for such of his money as was drafted for war service-he didn't have to fight or die in the trenches, but was able to stay at home and inlmest cases to make very large profits out of the war.-Oregon Journal.
