On all matter.
Pack articles carefully and wrap

ATTENTION CALLED TO FIRE
DRILLING.
State Fire Marshal Issues q Bulletin
to School Teachers.

In the bulletin issued by the state
-, fire marshal's office for use in the
public schools the following sugges-
lions for fire drills in schools are
made:
Require the pupils to pass into and
ont Of the room in an orderly manner
at all times. 1t is assumed that this
is insisted upon in all our graded
schools. II it is not it should be.
Each teacher should first practice
with her pupils to see how quickly
they could leave the room in an or
derby manner by the nearest exit.
They may march to music if there is
an instrument in the room or in the
hall or keep step with the class bell.
The main points are, first order; next
rapidly.
After each teacher has found the
most orderly and quickest way OF
passing out the pupils of her room,
she should then be ready to act In
harmony with the principal of the
building and should follow his or her
directions explicitly.
In the larger buildings it Is we'll
to have a gong or special bell in the
hall, the sound of which will mean to
every child that fire drill is on.
At the sound of this gong every
pupil in the building should stand
and at the signal from the teacher
the marching should begin.
The teachers in charge of the
rooms on the first floor should not
lose a second after the general fire
gong is sounded in giving signal for
marching out, and the children
should be given directions to go to
the nearest exit.
Those occupying rooms on the Sec
ond floor should start within few
seconds after those on the first floor
have started, and by the time, they
reach the last landing of the stair
way to the first floor the first floor
should be clear. If the building Is
three story building, the same gen.
eral directions should be observed in
clearing the rooms of the third story.
Care should be exercised that there
be no crowding and that only such
number be permitted to enter the
stairway at one time as can easily
pass down. If the stairway will ac-
commodate not more than two or
three pupils abreast only that num-
Der should be allowed to march to-
gether;,if wide enough for more
larger number should be arranged
for. In many smaller buildings with
few exits and narrow stalrWays
single files are preferable.
Provisions should be made not
only for clearing the building when
all pupils are in the study room, but
when they are scattered throughout
the building in the smaller rooms for
recitation. Be prepared for prompt,
systematic action at any hour or
minute of the day.
The entire matter evolves careful
planning and prompt and careful exc
cution on the part of the principal
and teachers. eve study for life, not
for school"
Fire drills are required, not so
much on account of the immediate
danger in the. school building, but
rather because of the need of pre-
venting the panicky feeling which
usually is created in the minds OF the
people in crowded building or on
board a vessel when fire or other de-
structive calamity is impending.
