Wednesday at North Collinwood, a
suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. Fire

Two doors, both opening inward,
and one declared to have been locked.
one inadequate fire-escape tell the
story of one of the most pitiful trage-
dies in the country's history.
When the fire-alarm sounded the
children, mindful of their fire drill,
moved in column to the door, but the
fire was under them, the door would
not open, and 200 little girls and boys
fought in the frenzy of panic, those
behind pushing down on those In front
trying to get back. That is where
most of them died.
The acme of human distress was
witnessed as parents fought to get
in and save their children. In some
cases their sons and daughters died
before II cir eyes.
