This was altogether too large a sum to be thus wasted. It was a dead loss. Some of the buildings were not reâ€"built, and even the insurance was ayloss having to be paid in premiums that would be lower withâ€"lower losses, Everyone had a personal interest in seeing that premises were safe from fire risk. The loss of life and injuries from fire were also impofant losses to be considered. The speaker quoted figures to stww thag in the usual fire children were parâ€" ticular sufferers, On the other hand the record ‘of the schools showed whp.t carefulness and thought could do, no child in Ontario losing life in any fire so, this campaign is the answer to your aspirations and dreams, as well as the â€"medium to the realization of your ambition".
