Summary
Details

""Economy in Public School Fire Insurance"" is a comprehensive study focused on the financial and safety management of educational facilities. Authored by Harvey A. Smith, this work investigates the methods by which school boards and administrators can optimize fire insurance coverage while minimizing expenditures. Written at a time when public school systems were expanding, the text addresses the significant economic burden that insurance premiums placed on district budgets.

The study examines various factors influencing insurance rates, including building construction standards, fire prevention measures, and the categorization of risks. Smith provides a detailed analysis of different insurance plans and the specific conditions that allow for rate reductions. By emphasizing the relationship between structural safety and fiscal economy, the work offers practical strategies for improving school building conditions to secure better insurance terms. This book serves as an important historical record of early 20th-century school business administration and the evolution of risk management in the public sector. It remains a valuable resource for researchers interested in the history of educational finance, public policy, and the development of safety standards in American schools.
