CALL Her A "HEROIN."
Pupils Write Essays in Praise of Their
Teachers.

Chicago. Feb. lin the estima-
ton of her pupils. Miss Helen Nc
Laren a teacher, is a ''heroIn.''
Half a hundred children have
turned in essays on a fire which oc-
Cured in a butcher shop near the
school.
Miss McLaren speaks modestly of
her efforts to avert a stampede,
which undoubtedly would have re-
suited seriously. But the other teach
ers give her unstinted praise.
Fearing that the other teachers
who were ignorant of the fire would
let the younger children out without
proper precaution, Miss McLaren ran
from room to room. whispering the
alarm to the teacher in charge.
When one of her children called
her attention to smoke from the fire,
Miss McLaren had to think quickly.
Children she said. you may all
stand up and look out this window.
Now don't get frightened. because
there is not any danger. If any boy
shouts fire he'll have to sit down and
then he won't see the engines"
SO the pupils watched the blaze
quietly from the windows. Instead of
being frightened they enjoyed the
spectacle. Then they had a language
lesson on the fire.
One of the essayists described the
teacher as a good heroin' and said
they were all ''braiv."
