We are far from feeling the fear that drives a people to war. But if desperation does not destroy much of what peace Bought to build, greed and shortsightedness may operate toward that end. To a few selfish ones, the national emergency spells opportunity to make exhorbit-agains, to mulct thousands lor quick wealth. These persons inevitably undermine confidence in the economic system and in democracy. To others, the crisis and the partial Loom mean g work. Youth is turning in large numbers to boom employment, attracted partly by the wages and partly by possibilities to avoid military service. For a great many, this choice is "wise. 'Ine work must be done; large numbers of mechanics and other workers are needed to construct modern war machines and keep them going. But there is considerable danger to the current and of America in the movement of potenfuture tial professional men and leaders away from college and into temporary boom employment. This is an age of amazing complexity requiring leadership which combines thorough technical knowledge with breadth of vision and depth of understanding. Both as taxpayers and as parents, the older generation today should help protect educational institutions from the standpoint of both income and enrollment. They should see what demands the continuing crisis and the appalling reconstruction years to come will lay on those who are young today. As schools and colleges open for another year, we arouse to the danger that shortsighted policies or fear may lead to a bleeding of these institutions. They must be well maintained and well directed so that we may have from them what we need for permanent security and progress. President Roosevelt summed up the situation thus in his recent message to the American College Publicity Association: The message I would emphasize to you this year is that America will always need men and women with college training. Government and industry alike need skilled technicians today. Later we shall need men and women of broad understanding and special aptitudes to serve as leaders of the generation which must manage world. We must therefore redouble our the post-wefforts during these critical times to make our schools and colleges render ever more efficient service in support of our cherished institutions. all-o- ut FIRES TOLL OF LIFE New figures released by the National Board of Fire UaderwTitars show conclusively that fire takes its greatest toll among children of tender age. This fact was produced m the course of a study of the latest vital statistics available. Under five is the danger uus age by a ratio of almost three to one over any other similar age period. Fire fatalities are lowest between the ages oi 10 and 14, and are not greauy higner at any later age'. JLn an average year, fire tanes the lives oi i,do cmidren under five, which amounts to ho per cent ol ail accidental fatalities in this age group. Continuing with its study of ine deaths, the National Board estimates that in an average week, 148 people will be fatally burned, and many moie will die as a result of asphyxiation, electrical snoek and lightning. The annual total of death from lord m one form or another is in excess of 10,000 lives, in the years since the World War, fire has killed more than kb0,000 Americans. By comparison, only bu,uu0 American soldiers lost their lives in battie during mat conflict. The National Board states that modernized building codes and adequate lire prevention ordinances in the cities, .towns and villages ol America would save a high portion of the 1Q,0U0 lives that are needlessly sacrilicetl each year. Here is a job for every community a jox which should be done at once.
