without the least confusion the boys
lined up on one side Of the room, the girls

escape any real or imaginary flames.
Then to reward, the teacher said, You
may watch the older ones come down the
fire escape"
AS the stampeding overhead indicated
something unusual, we were not surprised
to see wild mob tear down the narrow
steps, and would suggest aA an observer
that this seemed somewhat perilous, Is the

serious handicap.
