I'VE do just that thing to try out the
discipline of the pupils, We bar OFF
the usual exit, hanging a red flag to
denote a stairway cut off by fire.
Immediately the teachers follow
emergency instructions and take out
their pupils by another door. We
change round from exit to exit very
frequently and have never had
trouble maintaining perfect order
Asked about the use of the iron fire
escapes which are never utilized in
fire drills, Mr.. Varney said at
would be needlessly exposing the
children to accidents by sending
them through a window and down the
steep fire-escape stairs, Many OF the
smaller children might fall and be-
come seriously injured. Many may
argue that this would be the result in
case of actual fire but the public for
get that we have seven exits to the
school building and it is inconceW-
able that any fire would get such
headway as to penetrate the fire
walls and cut off all these doorways
at once. We can close the fire doors
in any section of the building and
leave the other five absolutely safe
for sending the children out The
iron fire escapes are only to be used
in case any children might be cut off
by smoke and not be able to get out.
In such an emergency they provide
a possible exit from the upper rooms
But to send the children up and
down the dangerous flights of steep
iron stairs under present adequate
conditions and discipline would be
foolhardy, and in case of injury we
should be held accountable by indig-
nant parents. The building has been
inspected by state authorities and
found to be absolutely safe"
A fire drill is ordered once month
by law. but the school authorities
ring them in every week. Sometimes
Mr.. Varney has rung the alarm just
as the children are in from recess,
sending them all out again before
they have taken their seats.
From the prompt and orderly re-
sponse, to the alarm rung this morn
ing it is, evident that parents of chill
dren in the village school have no
canse for anxiety. Everything that
can be done is in practise to keep the
fire drill up to efficiency.
