EXPLAIN REPORT
ON ALMSHOUSE
Committee Makes Points Clear
in Reference to Children |
at City Home.
Explanation of two points In tho re- '
port on the CJty Jail aJid Almshousc.
recently published, is mude by tho vis?
iting committee of the State Board of ;
Charities and Correction*. It is as
follows:
It having been called to our atten- |
tlon that the report of the committee
appointed by tho State Board of Chari?
ties and Corrections to inspect the ,
City Almshouso has been mlsunder
Stood In two particulars by a few \
readers, and fearing the language of
the report may have been misleading,
we desire to state morn explicitly tho ,
fnrts regarding these two Items.
1. The number of children born In ;
I the City Hospital indicates merely the'
i number of indigent women who aro '
j admitted to tho maternity ward. The i
I comment was intended to eall atten- '
tlon to the fact that the children are j
I thrown on the community to support
because the mothers find It easier to i
give them away than to provide for
. them. The intention was to emphasize
the need of some supervision of these
women by benevolent organizations
and individuals, rather than th? In?
discriminate adoption of the children,
j leaving the mothers free to follow t
i their evil wayF. Perhaps any mlsap
| prehension would hnve been prevented
I by explaining that the city provides
I both an almshouse and free hospital?
separate Institutions?under one su?
perintendent and in one building. The
j comment on the number of births ap
I piles to the hospital only
ta Not Record.
I. The number of births of feeble.
minded children, and the number of
such children now living is the record
1 of statistics collected from tho In
; mates of tho City Home, but is not a
i record of conditions there. The num
i her of women of feeble mind then
; domiciled at the City Home supplied tho
\ material from which the Information
was gathered, but It was not intended
; to convey the Impression that these ehll
Idren. or any of them, had ever been
I Inmates of the City Home, nor do we
j think the language used Justifies any
. such conclusion.
We gladly make this explanation, as
i we desire to be recognized merely as
j impartial investigators, stating condl
i lions simplv as we found them, upd
In no sense as critics or fault-finders.

FIRE PREVENTION
DAY SEI APART
Governor Asks People of Vir?
ginia to Lessen Risk by Con?
certed Action.
For the purpose of arousing public
Interest and co-operation In the lesson?
ing of losses by Are, Governor Mann
yesterday issued a proclamation
setting apurt October 9 us "Kire Pre?
vention Day." On that day the peo?
ple of Virginia ure urged to remove
combustible waste, Inspect heating
plants, chimneys and electric lighting
i lUtures and to provide for apparatus
l for putting out fires. In addition. It
Is nsked that Arc escapes In public
I buildings be looked after and that tin.'
[ drills be held In every school house.
i In connection with his argument.
Governor Mnnn sets forth the startling
fact, on the authority of thu State
Insurance Commissioner, thut of the
1,578 fires in Virginia lnst year, 974
were due to the neglect of reasonable
and simple precautions.
"Fire Prevention Day."
The proclamation Is as follows:
Whereas, thu national Fire Marshals'
Association has urged that Monday.
October 9, 1911, the anniversary of the
Chicugo lire, be observed as Fire Pre?
vention Day, and as our losses by pre?
ventable tires uro large, it is lining
and proper that the day be observed
In this Commonwealth.
Annually In these United States,
property lo the value of $2&0,000,000
is destroyed by tire. In this Common?
wealth alone, the annual loss to thu
pe pie from Are is over J3,ooo,ouo.
Must of this loss is preventable and
much of It is directly attributable to
carelessness aim neglect. According
to Information gathered by the Com?
missioner of Insurance, of 1,57s Bras
reported In Virginia in the last year.
974. with a property loss estimated at
about $500,000, were due to the neglect
of reasonable and simple precautions.
The education of our people in tire
prevention Is the surest method of re?
ducing the loss anil, thereby, of con?
serving the property Interests of our
people. The removal of waste, inspec?
tion of chimneys and Hues, regular In?
spection of electric lights by compe?
tent men. systematic care of lumps,
stoves and open fires, having on hand
?1 all times mid in convenient places
suitable apparatus for putting out
flivs, the establishment of tire drills,
tlio Inspection of tire apparatus and
tin examination of fire escapes, aro
means to tills end.
Now. therefore, I. William Hodges
Mann. Governor of the Commonwealth,
urge all good citizens to observe Mon?
day, October 9. 1911. as Fire Preven?
tion Day, und on that day to observe
all the precautions mentioned above,
to Inspect fire apparatus In factories
and public buildings and to have fire
drills in all establishments. I like?
wise urge the school authorities of
the several counties and cities to have
Uro drills In the schools under their
jurisdiction on that day and to In
RtrUCt the pupils 111 tip- prevention of
tires.
Given under my hand and under th?
lesser seal of the Commonwealth, at
Richmond, this fifth day of October.
