FIRE DRILL
IN SCHOOLS.
System Being Explained TO the
the Pupils in All the
Buildings Here.
TESTS ARE TO FOLLOW
Signal is Two Taps at Time with a Pause
Between-These Double Taps Continue
Until All Have Needed the Alarm
Scholars Form In Line and March Down
the Stairs.

The first step toward, establishing
the fire drill in the public schools, of
this city, were taken III schools N Nos.
and a yesterday, in schools 2, 5, and
few days ago, and in the High
School department this morning.
The classes on the first floor of the
High School building have not been
drilled at all as yet, on account of the
absence of one of the teachers.
The signal is to be two taps on the
school gong followed by a pause, the
two taps to be repeated at intervals
until all have needed it. The pupils
are to drop all work in whatever part
of the building they happen to be and
are to form in straight lines in the
aisles and to 60 down the nearest
stairs not less than two abreast.
No practical drill has been tried as
yet, the teachers having only explain
ed the system to the children. Three
