DECLARES SCHOOLS ARE SAFE.

ton Appliances, says r. A. FORGE.

InODe NOt rlreproOI nave freNeu-
tion Appliances, Says r. A. Forxee.
The public school buildings OF this
city are not fire traps.-Frederick A.
Forgee.
This statement, by a well known con-
sulting engineer. is made in the current
issue of Fire Prevention with the sanction
OF the Board OF Education and Is an
answer to the recent criticism OF Charles
@. Armstrong, who said and attempted TO
prove that many of the city's schools are
dangerous and liable to destruction by
fire.
Mr.. Forgee says that no building pro-
vided with adequate means OF exit Is a fire
trap and that every school in New York
is amply equipped with such facilities.
He asserts that the Board OF Education Is
doing an active work. not only to make
new buildings fireproof but TO install fire
prevention methods and appliances in old
buildings.
1T Is conceded" said Mr.. Forgee, that
New York was the first city In this coun-
try to adopt standard fireproof construc-
ton for all its public school buildings and
that II was also the first city to take up
in a systematic manner FIRE protection
work in its older buildings"

The state apportionmcnt 10 the
schoolS is about - each child. and this
large increase in the number Of scholas-
ties in Brownsville will give the city
schools more than the city received last
year. The city schools received from the
state last wear about $1,000, and the IN
creased number of scholastics will give
the schools about $4,000 more this year.
Asked as To the reason for this undue
increase this year. Secretary Garza sta

There are several factors that have
entered into the largely increased mum

census last year was not completed he

The natural increase should have given

there occurred the battle Of Matamoros.
