21 CHILDREN DIE
IN SCHOOL FIRE
Flames Sweep Parochial School
at PeaMy, Mass.'
CAUSE OF DISASTER UNKNOWN
- 1
Boy and Girl Pupils Burned or Crueh«
od to Death and Heap of Bodlee
Blocked Qlremen. . . .
While 706 boys and girls were at
their ornlug prayers 1*- the par
rochial school of St John'r Oathollo
■ church, in Peabody, Mass., ill* start- -
lag in the basement, swept through
the three stories of the brick and j ,
wooden building in less than Ave min
utes. " |
Twenty-one children, none out of
their teens, were burned or crushed to
death while attempting to escape
Nine are missing, a score of others
wore injured, several seriously. |
The origia of the fire is in doubt
Angus McDonald, of the state police,
believes it originated In a closet near
the stairway and was caused by a hot
air explosion.
Mother Superior Aldegon, who was
in charge of the sisters who taught
in the school, heard an explosion and
smoke, sounded the alarm. 1
no lire escapes on the 1
outside of the building, but wide stair- 1
ways at either end of the interior ■
led down to the front exit Under '
lire drill, the children were marched 1
through constantly thickening clouds J
of smoke to the ground floor, when 1
the leaders lost their headß.
Instead of pasr*ag out the rear ex- 1
it, according to rule, they made a 1
dash for the front door and became
Jammed in the vestibule. Meantime '
the lire- had eaten its way upward 1
from directly under the front en- '
trance and the vestibule crowded
With pupils presently was enveloped
la flames. ,
Firemen with two lines of hose (
made a rush at the doorway and tried (
to flght their way in. A sudden sweep ,
of draft sent the flames so fairly in
their faces that tbey were beaten ,
back. They made a second try, this
time throwing over the tangle of ,
small bodies a number of heavy rub- ,
ber blankats. Then from outside the ,
door and as near as they could get, ,
they directed a stream of water upon >
the blankets in a desperate hope of (
keeping off the flames till rescue ,
could be made.
But in a short time, so desperately
awlft was the progress of the flre, ef
forts of the firemen were needed else- 1
where. Tbey turned over one of the i
hoses to Timothy O'Connor, a police- i

Nevertheless I. do not mean that

They spend enormous turn* on

Tools as Valuable as
Books In Education
of Children
By Dr. ANNA &VYEK of lb*
Chicago Morals Commission
ONE of the greatest needs and
lacks of our people today is
play. Why should wo grow
old? It's tragic to find little girls
eager to grow up and have trairiP
on their gowns and little boys long
ifig for mustacbea. We ne«d to play
to keep young and vigorous, and
It's a lamentable fact that we don't
know how. liich children and poor
children alike need instructors to
teach them how to play, and ao do
the grownups.
The reason that girls go wrong—
and boys, too—is that they haven't
enough to do. They haven't been
. fitted for any occupation.
: EVERY CHILD OUOHT TO RE
TAUOHT IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
HOW TO Dp SOMETHING USEFUL.
I Don't you know soma children
can't seem to learn and have great
( straggles going from grade to
grade? They would be much hap
pier and become more useful citi
, tena if their hands were trained.
BOOKS ARE NOT THE ONLY
EDUCATIONAL FORCE. TOOLS
ABE QUITE AS VALUABLE.
YES, INDEED, I'M VERY MUCH
IN FAVOR OF VOCATIONAL

Fair Wages For Labor

By JOHN IX ROCKEFELLER. Jr.

IN order to live the wage earner
must sell his labor from day to
day. Unleaa ho can do thia the
earnings from day's labor are
NO. 38
gone forever Capital can defer its '
return temporarily in the expecta
tion of future profits, bnt labor
cannot.
IP, THEREFORE. FAIR WAGES
AND REASONABLE LIVING CollDl.
HONS CANNOT OTHERWISE BE
PROVIDED, DIVIDENDS MUST BR
DEFERRED OR THE INDUSTRY
ABANOONED.
I believe that in matter pertain
ing to industrial relations the pub
lic, quite as much as the partiea en
caged in industry, is entitled to con
fidence and consideration. Indus
trial relations are essentially hu
man relations, and HUMAN BE- ]
LATIONS SHOULD BE NOT
LESS THE CONCERN OF THE
STATE AS A WHOLE THAN OF
INDIVIDUALS ENGAGED IN
INDUSTBY.

This war may be followed by a
period marked by as great expres- l|

whicli make the age of Queen Eliza

our literature is" retrograding. It ia
retrograding —to the Elizabethan

OUR next war will be a ma

rather than blood. In my
opinion, we should substitute ma
chines for men, SO THAT THE
EFFICIENCY OF EACH MAN IN
TIME OF WAR COULD BE
MULTIPLIED BY TWENTY
