THE LITTLE SCHOOL
HOUSE IS PASSING ON
Firesafe Consolidated Schools Are
Big Improvement Made Posi-
bic By Paved Roads.

Where ten little One-room schools
formerly dotted the countryside, one
large school with all the modern
conveniences of the larger city
schools now serves the territory.
Greatly improved roads, convenient
to most farms, and the development
of the motor bus have made possible
attendance at schools five or ten
miles distant.
Already there are $4,000 consoli-
dated schools scattered throughout
rural districts, with an attendance
of 2.17O.OOO children, or One-tifth OF
the total rural pupils. Of this num-
ber. 100000 are daily taken to and
from school in 10000 motor busses
on high type paved roads. Attend
ance is much more regular at these
schools. for modern education with
its wide branches holds lure which
makes attendance at school pleas
ure. And the modern facilities are
reflected in the farm children who
rapidly are becoming better dressed,
more intelligent in appearance and
of better health. While the cOnsoh-
dated school has a great many ad-
vantages. the gathering of many
children under one roof makes
greater the fire hazard.

DEDICATED TO "BARRATT'S
CHAPEL" - "CRADLE OF
METHODISM"
Near Frederick, Kent County
Delaware
BY John B. Cook

Dear "Barratt's Chapel" sacred
shrine,
Seems linked to Heaven, almost di-
vine;
Where'er 1 am-where'er 1 roam,
This precious place seems Home
Sweet Home"
From memOry's view 1 see the spot,
Can see the Chapel, can see the plot;
Can see the trees, can see the grass;
AS all these things in visions pass.
Thousands have entered through the
wide open door,
Hundreds have entered, who will en-
ter no more;
Hundreds are sleeping beneath the
sod,
In the little Church yard, near the
House of God"
God bless the men the valiant men;
Who made our nation free
Cod bless the ones the noble ones,
Who built this church to Thee.
God bless the ones who caused lts
birth
God bless the ones of noble worth;
God bless the preachers of by-gone
years
Who consecrated midst smiles and
tears.
God bless the church as it stands
today,
MAY all the barriers be forced away;
For through the church is hope and
joy,
Serenest hope without alloy.
So dear old Chapel" haven to
me-
In all thy grandeur simplicity"
I bow my head, I bend my knee,
In deep affection unto thee.

In the one-rOOm building, fire did
not present a great hazard to the
lives of pupils for they could easily
vacate at the first alarm, and usual
ly there were no more than 80 to 4O
pupils. Attendance at the consolidat-
ed school often grows until upwards
of a thousand children are receiving
education in the building.
Naturally, then, fire prevention IS
of great importance. Figures by the
National Fire Protection Associa-
ton show that every day there are
five fires in schools. This means
that 1926 fires each year endanger
the lives of the future workers and
voters of our country.
Unless precautions are taken TO
make schools fire safe at the time
they are planned and built, all fire
escapes and other safety devices on
the market cannot prevent disas-
trous fires-fires which once started,
sweep through the frame school
building faster than the hundreds OF
pupils can flee and the resulting
loss of lives is enormous, to say
nothing about the material loss.
Fires can and should be planned
against from the very start of con-
struction. Properly planned and
built with fire safe construction ma
terials. the new hazards found in
larger and newer schools are in
great measure offset. Some of these
hazards are: manual training, do
nestle science, motion pictures, lab
oratories, and the use of the assem-
bly, hall for public mass meetings.
Milford chronicle., 1925-10-09

When fire safe construction is US
ed. fires of dangerous proportions
are practically impossible; and
should fire start in a single room,
fire safe walls and floors will con-
fine it to it's place of origin with a
minimum of damage. Cases are on
record where this very thing has
happened and little damage occur
red; other cases show that fire safe
buildings often have acted as tlre
barriers and saved serious loss by
blocking a fire which threatened to
wine out an entire community.
Building fire safe is not costly
seldom more than 10 per cent above
the cost of burnable construction.
And when it is considered that such
construction may save the lives OF
hundreds of children no cost is pro
hibitive. For children who must at
tend school involuntarily should at
least be housed in a building which
will not burn.
