FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

Fire Prevention Week begins October 9th as proclaimed
by President Eisenhower.
Since the Chicago fire of Oct. 9 and 10, 1871, which wiped
out the entire business section and a large part of the resden-
tal properties of that city, fire prevention and protection have
progressed from a rule-of-thumb method, an occasional prac-
tce, to the status of a science. Sound rules of fire safety are
now well established and are available to all.
Fire prevention was emphasized annually as Sire Prev
ention Day" for some 80 years before 1920. In that year, the
President of the United States proclaimed Sire Prevention
Week" to include the date of October 9, the anniversary of
the Chicago fire.
The fire prevention movement has been an active part in
nearly every chamber of commerce in the United States
under the leadership of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States in Washington. Since 1922, the National Cham
Der has provided an organized program of leadership in pro-
noting fire prevention and protection.
The Chamber sponsors the National Inter-Chamber Fire
Safety Program, featuring an annual contest among partici-
pating cities. Hundreds Of chambers of commerce, with their
fire departments, city officials, and civic clubs, actively en-
gage in this program, and their continuous, systematic efforts
have made a notable contribution in controlling the nations
fire losses.
In Observing Fire Prevention Week, Sidney takes its
place with other cities throughout the United States in carry
ing on a program which will result in a safer city in which to
live.

These silk toppers gave way to
the stiff, visored cap of blue SO
familiar in pictures of the Civil
War. Straw hats were also worn
in extreme ATTITUDES during this
period. Experiments were made
with several hats and caps for
dress wear, the plumed helmet be-

This helmet was ornamented
with brass, including a spike, and
a plume of the color of the branch
of service. These were all sue

in the middle, to be succeeded by
the Montana peaked hat which
went out with World War 2.

THERE are a few bad grand

Two Views on Need

There are two PHILOSOPHERS,
however, on how the need
should be met.
In 1865, the Commission
on Higher Education. headed
by DR.. Pullen, recommended
establishment of Junior COM
munity colleges throughout
the State. The nine-member
commission, made up Of
educators from public and
private institutions, said ex-
listing institutions should ex-
pand in. their present loca-
tions. The commission said it
saw no need for any institu-
ton to establish branches in
other parts of the State.
The FPullen commission
said the community junior
colleges should provide the
first two years of college
work and also provide two
year terminal courses in
technical, vocational and

Roeiol Issues

Although State colleges
theoretically are desegre-
gated, racial issues are being
raised in the controversy. The
Warfield report recommends
taking over the three pri-

four-year program.
The Warfeld report said
that community junior coll
leges are needed but these
won't meet the need. The re-
port stresses bringing the
University of Maryland to
within committing distance
of most State residents by
establishing branches which
would offer a broad range OF
educational opportunities.
Aside from providing facil-
tiles for additional students.
a big question the Governor
and the Legislature must de-
eide is: Will the teacher
training program be leopard
lied or enhanced by the
Warfield proposals?
DR.. Pullen claims the Uni
versity of Maryland has had
"only a casual interest and
indifferent success" in teach
er training while the Board
of Education has handled
teacher education for a
hundred years with nation
ally recognized success"
Maryland's five state
teachers colleges turn out
about one-third of the teach
er supply needed by Mary
land public schools. They are
trained for elementary and
junior high school teaching.
The Warfield report said
that teacher training would
remain the major job of the
branch colleges but the cur
riculum would be diversified
to provide a broader program
of liberal arts. 1t claimed that
more teacher trainees would
be attracted and that train
ing would be extended to the
senior high school level.
The report said that 80
teacher colleges in 26 States
have been converted to State
colleges or universities since
1895. Following the conver-
sion, students interested in
elementary education usually
have been attracted in greater
mum bers. and secondary
school teacher preparation
has been aided by the avail
ability of the content courses
found in liberal arts colleges"
The Warield commission
stressed the quality of edu-
cation. Many factors in
fluence quality. Among them
is the diversity of educational
offerings. A single-purpose
institution may have the ad-
vantage of concentration on
a particular discipline, but if
it is on the undergraduate
level the disadvantage of iso-
lation from the general pro-
gram of liberal arts may be
a serious handicap in the
development Of individual
abilities"
Tuition charges also are in
volved in the controversy.
The five State teachers COL
leges do not charge tuition if
the student agrees to teach
a limited time in Maryland
public schools. The Univer-
sity of Maryland does.
The Warfield report, said,
"It may well be necessary for
the State to continue a diff
ferential system with respect
to the charging of tuition for
those who wish to prepare for
for teaching in the elemen-
tary schools or it may be
