Philip School House
Destroyed By Fire

Philip Review:-On Saturday morn
ing fire, originating in some unknown
manner in the basement rooms of the
local school building, was quickly
carried to other parts of the structure.
resulting in the total loss of the build
ing and contents. Being situated at
some distance from any other build
ings the fire was not noticed until
smoke began pouring out from about
the eyes and ribs of the roof. After
the alarm was turned in it took some
time to get to the place from the fire.
house and then nothing could be done.
The nearest hydrant was fully 900
feet away and much lower and sufli-
cient force could not be had from the
watermains to allow anything to be
done. No one could do anything else
than stand by and see it burn.
The building was erected in 1910 at
cost of $4,000, The heating plant,
seats and other fixtures cost $4,000
more. Besides this, splendid start
had been made toward equipping a
school library; no estimate has been
made at the loss on this. nor on the
individual losses to the superintend-
ent, teachers and pupils. Insurance
of $4,000 was carried.
The school board met within a few
minutes after the fire and took steps
toward providing and equipping tenn
porary quarters. Orders were given
at once to place the old frame school
house in readiness and the use of the
two rooms in the Methodist church
was secured. At the usual hour on
Monday morning school was conyen-
ed in these two buildings, situated
within 1, half block of each other,
and while no desks will be available
tor several weeks, the work will pro-
ceed without any great handicap.
Sufficient books were received from
County Auditor Quigg on Sunday and
Monday mornings to replace most of
those which the pupils lost in the fire.
Necessarily, the loss is a heavy one

for several weeks. since it is impos-
sible for the school TO have other than
the present quarters tor the rest OF
