furnace ExpIodes in School,


Colorado Springs, Colo, March t.
The Cleveland, Ohio, school horror was
almost duplicated in the Ivywild school
yesterday when the furnace in the
basement exploded, filling the rooms
with smoke, and badly burning the face
of Miss Nellie Remick, principal of the
school. Despite the fact that she was
suffering intense pain, Miss Remicl;
rushed upstairs, rang the fire alarm,
and succeeded in clearing the school OF
its 100 pupils in less than thirty sec,
onds.
Shortly after the children had come
in from the morning recess at 10:45
O'clock smoke was noticed coming from
the registers. When Miss Remick went
down to see what the trouble was, and
opened the door of the furnace, the
flames shot out with a roar, nearly
across the length of the cellar and
struck Miss Remick full in the face.
The explosion was caused by a super
abundance of gas from too much slack
coal.
