Only one-third of that sum has since 5 been e: led on fire prevention. ‘ a! ° When, more than a year ago, the Board of Education asked for ee a second million to continue the work, the Board of Estimate refused ‘ « to grant it. Therefore the Board of Education for at least a year “has had no funds with which to go on making the schools safer. ,.. If the Board admits that $2,000,000 more is needed to minimize “the risk of fire in echoolhouses, thén, of course, it also admits that the echoolhouses are at present by no means up to the standard of safety that the Board itself set. Are we to believe that safeguarding children against fire perils cis less important now than it was five yeare ago, when the fire pre- «vention programme was mapped out? i It looks as if the Board of Estimate should take its turn at ex- ip »plaining why the schoolhouses are not still worth all the protection a ,that money and skill can give them. rs _———-* eatin ‘The state papers of Gov.
