 Absolutely no warning was given to either teachers or pupils. Never theleSs the brick building was emptied with no signs of confusion in approximately twenty-fOur seconds after the alarm was given. It took about fifty-five seconds for the chill dren to get out Of the wooden build ing. In this instance they did not resort to the fire escapes on the out side of the building. The school board plans some changes in the out side fire escapes during the vacation and when these are made it IS be- lieved the drill can be executed in much quicker time.
 Father Walsh believes that the re- suits of the drill indicates that both records could be surpassed by from five to ten seconds in an emergency.
