The opening night Of the English
opera season by the Strakosh and Hess
Grand Opera company at the Acad-

Berlin, n. H., Teachers
|. March Out 500 Children
After Having Discovered Build
ing to Be on Fire.
Many Pupils Ahsrward Learned Of Blaze
Ddlfhg Damaged $4,000.

Berlin, y. H., Feb. Fifteen min-
utes after 500 school children had
marched into the Marston lnternedi-
ate school on Willard street Friday
they were quietly assembled and
| marched out onto the street again by
Il corps Of cool teachers, while portions
of the school house were in flames en-
dansering the lives of the occupants of
the building. There was not the slight
est evidence OF a panic and the teach
erS performed their work so well that
a majority of the children did not learn
OF the fire until they were out in the
street. The schOolhouse was d wood
Ell structure, three stories high. \
snort time after the exit oC the pupils
and teachers. the entire building burst
into flames and an hour after the fire
started the Sciioolhouse WAS in ruins.
The fire originated in the basement
and is supposed to nave been caused
near the heating apparatus. The jani
tor of the school was absent when the
flames broke out. but one of the teach
ers, smelling smoke left the room very
quietly and went TO the cellar to iuves-
tigate. Although somewhat alarmed
when she saw the flames. the teacher
returned cool and hurried TO report the
fire to Miss Latin, the principal of the
school. The latter sounded a bell which
| has been used to dismiss the school on
various occasions, sometimes for fire
drill purposes and al other times when
the building had been too cold to con-
tinue their studies i'm comfort.
The children. although they had been

seemed to consider that the bell was IL
| part of the routine work planned for
| the day. and at the order of the vari-
Gus teachers the boys and girls march,

| the street. During their march out of
| the building many Of the children no.
ticed the smoke. but the continued as
surances Of the teachers that there
! was no danger gave the children re-
| newed confidence and there was not
the slightest evidence of panic.
The flames spread around the four
walls OF the building and ate their way
up 10 the roof. the middle of the build
| ing being the last destroyed. When
the firemen arrived on the scene the
ire was raging so fiercely and mad en-
vclopcd the building so completely that
the structure could not be saved.

and they succeeded i'll each instance in
