inn is Actually Afire-Prineipal Guy
Well Pleased With Result.

The excellent training given the
children in the West END Hish
school through the fire drill system
proved its worth yesterday morning
when the big building was emptied
OF 500 pupils in less than two min
rtes after a general fire alarm had
been turned in. The splendid deport-
ment OF the children under the ex-
citing experience astounded those
who witnessed the quick work, and
so quietly was Il done that few OF
the nupils really understood that an
alarm caused by a supposed fire had
been turned in, thinking that the
all" was another test by Prof. George
Willis Guy.
Shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday
morning the heating apparatus IN the
boiler room OF the school became DIS
arranged and the building was too
uncomfortable for the children. so
Prof. Guy ard Division Superintendent
John NJ. Willis made an investigation
II was found that. one OF the valves
on an exhaust pipe had been cut
on and the school officials immediate
ly sent for a plumber. While the
man was engaged in locating the
trouble. steam was seen to issue from
the rear end of the boiler room.
General Fire Alarm.
Prof Guy suggested that 1t would
De well to give the general Are alarm
in as much as the exercise would
serve the double purpose Of keeping
the children warm and also as a
urecaution In the event that serious
trouble followed the escaping vapor
from the cutoff valve. This was
agreed 20 and soon the entire build
ingwas being emptied of the children
The quicknes of the exit was marvel
Gus and in a little more than one
and enc half minutes the school facul-
" announced that every child in the
building was out in the yard and safe
away from any kind of a conflagra'
ton.
As the children ran down the steps
from the second-story study rooms they
noticed the steam issuing from the
boiler room and this caused some oil
them to believe that the building was
actually ON fire.
Real Alarm Turned In.
Some OF the pupils ran TO tie tele'
phone and turned In the general alarm
for the Hampton fire department The
news soon spread that TIE West Emo
academy was on fire and parents from

County Superintendent willis said
last night that the report that there
had been a blaze in the basement and
also the other report that a pipe mad
burst were unfounded and that the
trouble was due entirely to escaping
steam from the valve, which was
checked by having the cutoff COCK
nut out of commission. The de-
cision to turn in the general alarm
had been reached before the steam
was seen issuing" said Mr.. Wits

MIR. Willis added that the deport-
ment of the children was most COM
mendable and he is elated over the
excellent training the children nave
received through the fire-drills.

morning and evening in the NJ. T.

were very good, helpful and will, we
are quite sure, leave their marks for
good and for God. Mr.. Stainback as
a local preacher has been instrument

and has many times, and in many
cases filled up a great many gaps
that would have been left open, had
it not been for his timely services.

Mr.. Hardy has been connected

success. He was at first foreman in

During the seven years that
he served our people as editor,
The Record was in the front of

advancement of our county. The
Record always rung clear on every
question Of public interest, and while
rival candidates were allowed to fight
their own battles, The Record was
