在伊利诺伊州教授预防消防。
随着秋季学期预防的开放，要在伊利诺伊州的公立学校中进行教学，为了使统一的教学体系可以采用州消防元帅沃尔特·H·贝内特（Walter H. Bennett）正在准备一本教科书。贝内特先生在最近发表的一份声明中说，公共教学国家局长弗朗西斯·格莱尔（Francis G. Blair）的合作使消防元帅的计划成为可能。如果书中体现的课程被精心学习，贝内特估计，他们将每年节省10,000,000美元。“伊利诺伊州的大火中有75％是可以预防的，”消防元帅说。“如果国家人民做我们告诉他们的事情，那丝毫没有怀疑，但是这些可预防的大火不会发生什么。”新学校书中的一些课程将涉及比赛，煤油，汽油，油灯，烟囱和烟道。其中之一将处理避免闪电危险的方法。根据1914年的报告，关于火元帅的五十五名儿童的衣服因篝火晚会而着火而被烧死。新书中的第八课将处理篝火及其危险。第9课将处理自发燃烧，解释什么使它成为可能以及如何避免它。 The children are to have explained to them just what chemical action occurs when greasy rags piled up in a closed closet burst into flames without the aid of an outside agency. “There are very few fires in Germany which might be classed preventable,” said F. R. Borgaridge, assistant State fire marshal, who is at work on the new text book. “The Germans do not consider a fire in their homes a misfortune, rather they consider it a disgrace—and a cause for punishment by the authorities. There are fewer fires in the towns of Columbia and Waterloo than in any other towns of that size in Illinois. The population is composed chiefly of Germans, or of people of German descent.”
