saved a stampede which might have
resulted in a catastrophe at the
Riverview school yesterday morning
at ~ o'clock. The fire broke out in
, tnJ paSe ihent, where a partition Of
idt'e ana plaster had been built
abaiuSJ the wall of the furnace. The
PARTITION caught flame from induc-
ton at a time when Prof William
Hackendorf, principal of the school
was out Of the main building, helping
a. new teacher in one of the annexes
in the yard
BENG the first day of the semester.
lhere was a host of new students in
school and several new teachers. not
acquainted with the details of the
school management The building is
l"o-story structure with wooden
tLloors and stairways and there were
oVO students and IA teachers inside
AT work. The hero Of the minute
was Cecil Buck" said Mr.. Hacken-
dorf yesterday afternoon. Cecil Is
one of the big boys and while the
Jahilor was in the basement fighting
the fire, he called two or three of his
companions and mastered the sltua-

Mr. Hackendorf said that bv the
tlme he reached the building the bows
mad opened the doors, stationed
themselves on the landings of the
stairs TO keep the stream of small
children from getting congested, nd
turned in the alarm. Cecil Buck rang
the fire signal in the lower han and
was beating time on Il big iron trl
angle for the pupils to march out bv.
Just as was always done at practice

dren didn't even know that there was
a fire until they reached the ground

Some Of the new students were
rather panicky and all Of them were |
a little excited when they reached the .
nan, where the fumes were very no
uceaDle, but in the words of the
principal they acquitted themselves
nobly" especially the big boys and
teachers, who held the younger and
more eXcitable pupils in good order
until they reached safety. The dam
age to the building was nothing. The
whole partition which caught fire will
now be taken out and thrown away.
