Amid sobs and groans, from white, trembling lips comes the story of the fearful disaster at North Collinwood, Ohio, where 172 innocent children, and two heroic women teachers went down to death in the ruins of the school-house, which was swept by flames. To tell the awful story in cold type gives but a faint idea of the horror of it all; yet, in order that the lives of other children and other teachers may be protected and safeguarded, it must be told in detail, and the human suffering and anguish that came to men, women and children through this fire painted, as only those on the spot can paint it, pictured in words that thrill.
