FIRE IN A SCHOOL HOUSE
Flames Originate From Defective Con.
struction of a Heater
But Nominal Damage Done-The Scholars
March Out in Perfect Order-An
Effective Drill

At about 10 o'clock yesterday morning
Secretary Dandy of the board of education
received telephone alarm announcing that
the San Pedro street school, at the corner. of
Seventeenth and San Pedro streets, was on
fire. He Immediately transmitted the news
to fire headquarters on the first floor of::the
city hall and Chief Moore responded, to-
gether with chemical engine No. 5. On
arrival at the scene all the children we're
found lined up in orderly array in the
school yard. and, save few yells of de-
light at the coming of the apparatus, not a
sound was made. In less than minute
after the alarm had been given, so perfect
ly had the fire drills been prosecuted, every
child had formed in line and marched
without confusion from the building.
At 10 O'Clock Miss Adelia Anderson, the
principal of the school, opened the door of
a hallway leading from her office and dis
covered smoke issuing from the floor. She
passed into the main hallway and sounded
the fire alarm. Instantly all the teachers
gave the customary commands and the
scholars, not knowing but that an ordinary
fire drill was taking place, fell into line
and quietly marched out.
The flames originated in the floor joists
over one of the new heaters which have re-
Gently been put into the building. The

simply stove inclosed in brick room.
Four walls of brick are built, and into
them the stove is put. Over the top of all
and closing the box, is put sheet.iron
cover, on which is spread several inches of
sand, again covered by a layer of brick.
Openings near the bottom of the heater
admit cold air, which is warmed and passes
out to the rooms through pipes leading
from the top.
In the case of the heater from which the
fire originated, it is said that it was de-
\ pendent for care and feeding of fuel upon
cellar being low. the joists of the floor
rested directly upon the top of the furnace
and an unusually hot fire caused them to
burst into blaze. Superintendent of
Buildings Strange says that i'll the case of
all heaters put into other buildings the
joists of the floors are at least foot above
the top of the furnace, and no danger from
them may be apprehended. He strongly
deprecates tine fact that boys are allowed
to take care of the furnaces who know ab-
solutely nothing about their operation.
Good work was done by the larger youths
in forming bucket brigade and doing va
liant service until the arrival of the de-
partment. A stream from the chemical
quickly extinguished the flames at dam
age not to exceed SIS.
Miss Anderson deserves great praise for
the manner in which the children were
handled in the trying emergency, as do
also the teachers who so ably assisted her.
While the fire did comparatively little
damage it served to demonstrate the utility
of the fire drill, and had the flames gained
rapid headway. a great loss Of property
and nerhaps 'is, was averted-
