URGES SAFETY FROM FIRE IN STATE SCHOOLS Fire Marshal Accents Need for Work in Blaze Prevention. MUST PROTECT CHILD Urging that everything possible be done to safeguard Indiana school children against Are. Newman T. Miller. State fire marital, Issued a statement today on the subject of guarding against fire hazards. The statement follows: “In a few weeks the schools of Indiana will be opened and every school room win be occupied by the children of our State. “Those who are charged with the responsibility of the care of these children should be sure that everything has been dona to Insure their safety. Be sure that every fir? hazard has been removed: that the heating plant In each building is properly Installed and in correct repair; that approved fire ezringulshera have been installed when and where needed; that the Installation of the electrical wiring been thoroughly Inspected and that same is in good condition, and that exits and fire escapes are in proper shape- “ Ten per cent of all accidental deaths In this aonntry result from fire. Each year a gr?at many of our school houses In Indiana burn. Don't let It be said any school house bums, or a child loses Its life as a result of your neglect or inattention. “Eighty-five per cent of the fires of this country are caused by carelessness, a proportionate part of which fires are In schools, not through the carelessness of children, but through the carelessness of those charged with the legal obligation of safeguarding the limb and life of your child and mine. This responsibility rests upon every school official. Including teachers. If you are a member of a school board, a township trusteee, county superintendent of schools, yon are charged with the responsibility of seeing that the children are properly protected. Every parent should make it his or her business to •ee that their children are properly cared for. “During an average of five hours each day during 200 days in each year, 25,000,000 children are in the schools of the I'nited States. The attendance Is compulsory; no fundamental educational problem is greater than the safety of these children. “Fire losses in schools in Indiana during the years 191S, 1319 and 1920 amounted to $348,735. “Fire drills are extremely important and should be held at least twice a month, but perfection of drilling is of little value if lire exits are omitted or improperly designed, or if doors are locked or do not open outward. All doors to school bui'.dings should open outward and should be equipped with panic release bar latches. "The Janitor is an important factor in the prevention of fires and should be made thoroughly acquainted with the vital need for careful housekeeping. It would be productive of beneficial results If school principals or boards of education would supply janitors with a short but comprehensive notice concerning fire hazards with a view to enhancing the safety of pupils. “What the coun'ry needs is national team work in ligl tnsr the fire waste. Our schools have a doubit responsibility and opportunity in the premises; first, to put their own houses in order, and second, to yield a powe.-ful educational influence. The education of the public In matters of fire prevention is the moat important step that can be taken toward limiting the loss of life an.! property by fire. If within the nest year the teaching of fire prevention were incorporated in the courses of all a bools and college* In the United States*, it ,s safe to predict that the effect upon the fire waste would be very great. Some States already require that a certain amount of time he devoted each month to the study of fire prevention in grammar schools. This should be required in the upper grades of grammar schools to the extent of at least two hours a week. “It should be remembered that the degree of attention given to fire protection in the school buildings themselves will to a large extent determine the lmpor tance of fire protection in the estimation of the child. The best literature on fire protection should be available In every school library and Important matters should be emphasized by pictures and mottoes. x “Knowledge Is the basis of all Intelligent action and where proper protection is afforded the knowledgo of the children as to the value of fire doers, fire walls, automatic sprinklers and a properly executed fire drill will do much toward preventing panic. “let each and every citizen of the State use his endeavors to reduce the awful fire waste which visits our State and Nation each year.” Hotel Bell Boy Dies of Heart Disease Lyman Dorris, SI. 22i Indiana avenue, dropped dead last night as ho was leaving a drug store at 158 North Illinois street. Deputy Coroner Charles Christian. ■ho investigated, said death was due to heart disease. Dorris had been a bellboy at the Washington Hotel, until recently. Dorris, police learned. Is survived by a wife who is living In Cleveland and a sister-in-law living In Indianapolis. Efforts are teing made by the police to get in touch with both his wife and sister-in law. whose name and address are not know*.
