Speaks on Topic,
"Why Educate''

Superintendent A. A. Wood Of the
Libby schools delivered an address at
the First Presbyterian church Sun
day morning by request of the pastor,
the Rev. John Pate. Superintendent
Wood chose the topic, "Why Educate" !"
and delivered a thoughtful and in
structive address.
One feature of the address was of
unusual interest. Mr.. Wood traced
briefly the history Of early-day
American and other systems of ed
ucation and showed how in olden
times it was thought that only
the well born should be educated
while wisdom decreed that the poor
and lowly ought to Be kept in ignor-
ance. He quoted one writer to the eff
feet that only through ignorance
would the lot of the low born be en-
durable-an ignorance that produced
a mental apathy and stolidity that
would become Indifferent to suffer-
ing.
He traced the gradual changing Of
this conception until today in Ameri-
ca the aim is an education for every
one. He dwelt ON present day ten
dencles and aims, said educators are
becoming convinced that more time
must be devoted to character forming
and told of the introduction of char
acter building courses into the schools.
In the last analysis, the speaker
said, the real aim of all true educa-
ton is character building. He said
his own experience with young peo-
pie had taught him one would be sur
prlsed to know to what great ex-
tent the boys and girls of today pick
out the older men and women as their
models.

Annual Loss
By Fire Is
Huge Sum
Totals Over a Billion Dollars
Each Year in United
States.
FIRE PREVENTION
WEEK OCTOBER 6-12

Fire Chief A. NJ Hoffman of Libby
Is in receipt of proclamation by
Governor j. E. Erickson designating
the week of October to IL as Fire
Prevention Week. Accompanying the
governors proclamation is a letter
by Vim. G. Brooks, state fire mar
SHALL Americas loss by fire each year
totals an astounding sum. Read what
Mr.. Brooks has to say about it:
Do you realize that the total cost
of fire in America every year is ST.
$4,000, 900, when the expense of fire
department upkeep, extra water sup
ply and fire alarm service is added
to the valuation of property actually
destroyed-a figure almost beyond hu
man conception. 1t would build d road
400 miles long at cost of $4,000 a
mile leaving enough over to develop
on each side 100 foot lots, with house
costing $1,000 on each, containing
furniture costing $4,000, a $1,000 gar
age, a $500 car, $4,000 for running
expenses of each home for a year.
$1,000 for trip to Europe for the
family and after all was paid for in
every home and after paying for the
street, there would be 1852, 800, 900
left for extras and building schools.
Why is Americas Fire Loss SO Great.
American cities are, as a rule, far
IN advance of European cities in or
ganization and equipment of fire
fighting forces and in efficiency of
fire fighting methods. Why then, are
our losses much greater per capita
than those in Europe? Various an
swers have been given to this question
by experts who have studied the prob
lem. Some of them are:
l. Carelessness and ignorance. as
evidenced by the fact that among the
known direct causes the three leading
factors are:
a. Matches.
b. Stoves, furnaces.
G. Boilers and their pipes.
z. The inflammable nature of our
ccities--frame buildings predominating
IN America as against the stone, brick I
concrete or other fire resisting ma
terials of which European cities are
largely built.
3. Lack of strict fire prevention
AASuoAl1 1od IolIH OI negligence
which becomes criminal in the case of
buildings where large numbers of
persons congregate, such as schools.
theaters, and department stores.
4. A popular lack of realization of
the fact that the fire insurance com
panies do not pay fire losses, but
merely act as agents to collect insur-
ance assessments where the burden
Is spread generally over the entire
community.
5. The national disposition to toll
crate waste.
.. The temptation to arson result
ing from over insurance.
Z. The general lack in America of
strict liability laws such as those in
effect in European countries, under
which the builder, owner or tenant
must establish beyond doubt that he
was in no way responsible for the
fire, either by carelessness disregard
OF regulations, or otherwise.
8. Our tendency to trust to luckn
and to take chance.
M. G.. BROOKS,
State Fire Marshal.

ORTFUNDS URGED
FOR BAY BRIDGE
Suggestion of Baltimore
Mayor Meets With Approval
of Eastern Shore.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE, September 16.-The
suggestion made by Mayor William F.
Broening of Baltimore that it might
be possible to use a portion of the city
port development commissions funds
to help finance the proposed Chesapeake
Bay bridge has met with considerable
approval on the Eastern Shore, accord
ing to reports received here.
1t is the opinion of business men and
civic bodies there that it would be
serious mistake for Baltimore City to
permit the project to go by default
because of the inability of the bridge
company to dispose of its bonds on
favorable money market.
Large sums of money have been spent
by the Delmarva Eastern Shore AsSo-
citation and its associate chambers of
commerce throughout the Deimarva
peninsula in advertising the advantages
that would accrue to both sides Of the
bay through some quicker means of
communication than ferry service now
affords.
Baltimore City is looked upon. as the
logical metropolis with which the
peninsulas agricultural, commercial and
industrial activities should be associated.
From the tremendous increase in
motor traffic on the Eastern Shore dur
ing recent years the people of the
Eastern Shore are convinced that the
bridge will prove paying investment.
