TORONTO FIRE DRILLS.
Few But Explicit Directions for the Guip
ance of Teachers.


AT page SO Of the bylaws of the Toronto
Public School Board the following short
but very explicit instructions for the
guidance of teachers are given To conduct
fire drills once q month
J. They should not be held at reg
ular times.
e There should be special signal
given with the hell, which should be
given only for fire drills.
3. The teachers should dismiss pu
pills at once, and always iii the same way,
,on hearing the signal.
4. Pupils should not wait to put on
clothing
8. They should be urged to walk
quickly, but they must keep in line and
avoid crowding.
g.. Teachers and large pupils should
be stationed at the foot Of stairways and
in other important positions, to assist
any who may fall, They should be spe-
ciatly trained in taking their positions
with great promptness.
z. The object of the fire drill being
to prevent a panic in case of fire, it is
desirable occasionally to cause % smoke
by some means in the halls before giving
the signal. No risk of fire should be
run in causing this smoke.
s. 1t is advisable TO confine the pupils
to one means of exit occasionally, so as
to be prepared for the contingency of having
the Others cut off by fire.
g.. Principals should sometimes halt the
pupils in the midst of q fire drill, so as to
tram them TO stop instantaneously IN case
ofaneulergency.
