The bears were on top again In Wall

Holocaust Narrowly Averted.

The Academy school building, on Tn
ion street, was on fire Monday afternoon
the third time in the past two or three years
and had il not been for the opportune ar
rival of Principal Pritts. who bad been pay
ing visit to the Union school building, q
number of lives must have been sacrificed
When Nr. Pntts en- tered the main hall of
the building he discovered flames leaping
out Eom the side ofa hot air register. With
out raising an alarm he quietly opened the
door Of one Of the recitation rooms and call
ing three or four of the largest boy pupils
into the hall told them what was the matter
and with their assistance extinguished the
fire. A few minut,s more and the fire
wonld have been beyond control and the
frightful scene that must have followed
with hundred or more small children in
the two upper rooms of the building and
egress by way of the single setof stairs cut
off-will cause feeling Of honor TO creep
ever all who read these lines.
We have been informed that the fire re-
suited from closing all of the registers in the
building and the hot air having no means
Of escape soon igniied the timbers surround
ing the hall register.
No matter bow it originated the mere fact
that this is the third fire that has resulted
from the same heater and has for a third
time imperiled the lives Of hundreds Of
school children, is sufficient to show that
some one has blundered. The board Of di-
rectors can not make too great haste in hav-
ing the matter Investigated, and when it is
investigated the cause Of the trouble should
not be smeared over as on former occasions
but should be repaired in a manner that viii
not permit of a recurrence of fire. The
board of directors should give this matter
prompt and personal attention.

4 new blank form has been prepared at
the Department of Public instruction for the
annual district reports which calls for the
cost of two additional items of expenditures
not heretofore Published in the annual re-
port of the department. The first Of these
items calls for the cost of school text books
Of the district the second for the cost of
school supplies other than textbooks, in
cluding maps, globes, &c. These forms are
sent to the secretaries of all the school boards
in the State The reporting of these add
tional items Of expense becomes neces sary,
nasmuch as the act Of 1898 requires direct
ors to purchase textbooks and supplies at
the expense of their districts, and it there
fore, becomes a legitimate item for pub ica-
ton in the departments annual report for
the current school year. County superin-
tendents will be notified of this change and
requested also TO see that all district reports
are made up in accordance with prescribed
forms.
