The teachers of Decatur and Ad- ■ ams county are looking forward, •> ! great many of them arc at least, to the thirteenth annual meeting of the Northern Indiana Teachers’ association, which will be held in the city of Chicago on April 4, 5 and 6. The teachers of Adams county belong to this association and many of them will attend lhe big meeting in Chicago. Teachers may be allowed dailv wages for attendance at the Northern Indiana Teachers' association meetings if the proper arrangements are made. The last legislature in the state of Indiana enacted a law whereby school boards and trustees are permitted to set aside three days out of each school year for visiting schools and for attending teachers’ meetings. One of the features of holding the meeting In Chicago will be the unparalleled opportunity for the visiting of a system of schools exemplifying every phase of school work. The school system, it is said, holds a very high rank among those of ary city of i the United States, and this is especially true since tee notable education- 1 al commission made its report in the year 1909. Every modern ieature of educational endeavor can be seen in Chicago, either in private or public schools, and the school authorities, it is said, have extended a cordial invitation to all the members ol the N. T. T. A. to visit the schools of the city Thursday, April 4th.

In the United States the Igniting of the vapor from gasoline burns to death more than twenty persons every week and dangerously burns more than sixty. No hour passes without a house being set afire by a gasoline explosion. Gasoline, the lightest and most dangerous fluid derived from petroleum, continually gives off vapqr that makes an explosive of the air with which it mixes. A canful of air or a roomful of air which mixes in it as much as onetwelfth of the vapor of gasoline, is more dangerous than a canful or roomful of gunpowder. Air with that much or more gasoline vapor in it explodes harder and makes a hotter blaze than gunpowder. Gunpowder will stay where it is put and can be seen. Gasoline vapor, being a little heavier than air, falls to the floor and cannot be seen.—lndianapolis Star, March 11, 1912. The above facts are important and we call the attention of the people of Decatur to them. These are scientific facts. Read them carefully. INDIANA LIGHTING CO.
