SAFEGUARD Pupils
President Baynard Says All
Doors on Schools of City
Open Outward
ESCAPES ON THREE
STORY BUILDINGS

The school fire in Peabody, Mass, in
which twenty-one small children lost
their lives, has raised an inquiry
among parents in this city, as to
whether there is possibility of like
horror occurring in this city. Ono
reason for the catastrophe In Peabody
was that number OF the children
were caught behind door which
opened inward.
1T would be impossible for such a
horror TO occur in this city" said
Samuel H. Baynard, president of the
Board of Education today. He stated
that quite a number of parents had
spoken to him about the horror and he
had assured them that their children
were safe I'm the schools.
In the first place." he said, there
is not a school in the city in which you
will find doors that open inward.
There have not been any here for
fifteen years. There is a State law
regulating this.
I'VE depend on fire drills almost
entirely for protection against fire.
The drills are started in the primary

the grades. There is not a building
in the city which we cannot clear IN a
minute and a half, and you know a
fire has very little chance to burn in
that time. By the time the firemen
could reach the fire the children would
be out of the building.
"Our instructions to principals,
| teachers and janitors is TO get the
children out of the building and pay
no attention to fighting the FIRE.
THE 1,10O pupils of the High school,
in case of a fire drill, get out of the
building in a little over minute.
The drills are held at frequent in

tended to every part of the city and
within the past five years one hun
dred and two lights have been added
to the street lighting equipment.
"The White Way" which will con-

accompanying cut, will extend from
the intersection of Church and Main

~ lighted with artistic and well pro-
portioned standards is the best evil
dence of a live, wide-awake, aggres-
s!ve community. The advantages of
an effective ornamental lighting sys-
ten are quickly seen by property
owners and merchants. The value of
property or business location depends
on the number of people who make
use of the adjoining street as thor
oughfare. An up-to-date lighting sys-
tenn increases the traffic and the value
of the window displays. Those in
charge of the work say that the prop
erty owners and business houses are
all helping literally and it will only be
short time. before we get in the sys-
tenn. The city is to pay one-third of
installation, the property owners and
business houses one-third cost of in
stallation and the commissioners of
public works is to pay one-third of
cost of installation and operate and
maintain the system. The commis-
sioners are getting the heavy end of

will be done the town will be wei.
