TOWN BOMBARDED BUT
CHILDREN GO TO SCHOOL
Rheims Has Daily Average of 1900
Pupils-Not One Hurt Yet.

Rheims, France, Aug. 30.-(Cor.
Associated Press.)-With daily av-
erage of 1900 pupils attending school
above and below ground, in Rheims
during the last eighteen months under
intermittent bombardment, not sim
gle injury or accident has happened
to any of the scholars. Glasses have
to be interrupted for days at time,
but the fact never lessons the zeal of
the teachers or the diligence Of the
pupils, though the enemy is not more
than 1000 yards off.
To a large extent the classes are
held in the cellars and wine-caves Of
the town, in some instances in caves
two stories below the surface Of the
street. There the air is more humid
and there is less light than in the or
dinary schoolrooms above ground, but
otherwise there is little difference in
the conditions or the routine.
When bombardment begins some
of the children show signs Of fear;
not always for themselves, but for
father or mother whom they think
must be in danger. When the bonn
bardment has completely ceased the
children are dismissed and sent home.
The streets are then safe excepting
the extrior boulevards where the chill
dren are warned not to go.
Some Of the school scenes are trag-
ic, others comis, notwithstanding
tragical surroundings. A class will be
at work when suddenly a servant
opens the door and calls out that
"they are bombarding close by" A
second or two later the noise Of
shell bursting on a nearby house
makes the smaller children tremble
and cry. At once the classes are led
down into the cellars, some Of them
carried by soldiers who have come in
off the street to avoid shell splinters.
