It has been just a little while 9ince the whole country was shocked by the horrible loss of life in the burning of a South Carolina schoolhouse. It is evi dent that the builders of that house had not gi\en the proper thought to means of escape in case of fire. The builders of thousands and thousands of other schoolhouses have been j equally careless. Schoolhouses catch fire every year; scarcely a year passes without some loss of life of school children on account of fire. Our children are our most precious possessions. They deserve a little better protection in this respect.
