The frightful tragedy at Camden,
South Carolina, is another case of
locking the door after the horse is
stolen. A few inexpensive exits would
have prevented the loss of all those
precious lives. Strange how often
these little things are overlooked by
those whose duty it is to attend to
them. A little forethought and ex.
pense before the calamity occurred
would have been worth more than
tens of sympathy and barrels of tears
to the victims of criminal negligence.
