"CLANG" WENT FIRE GONG
And 500 Children Left Mathewson School
in One Minute, 20 Seconds.

The 500 pupils in the Mathewson schoo
were industriously engaged in their work
yesterday afternoon when "Clang" went
the hre gong. The children jumped tc
their feet; the dozen teachers hurried
TO open the dozen school room DOORS the
piano started a quick march; the lines
on the first floor moved swiftly toward
the exits. one to the Elm street side of
the other TO the Jefferson street side OF
the building. In Is seconds a second
i"Clang" sounded; and the older children
on the two upper floors of the building
swung into the lines headed by the
youngsters; and in one minute and 20
seconds the huge building was entirely
cleared of its more than half thousand
children.
There was no fire; it was simply one
of the fire drills which Supt. White in
sists on having once in so often to fa-
miliarze the children with the most sys-
tematic way of getting out of the build
ing should emergency really arise, as well
as to teach them measure of composure
under mental strain.
And the celerity with which the build
ing was cleared was marvel There
were 500 children and a dozen teachers
entirely unaware that fire drill was to
be tred-every one Of them snatched
abruptly from their work and yet quit
ting the building in perfect order, not
knowing but what the building really was
afire One third of them had to descend
from the third floor, another third from
the second floor and the remainder down
a short flight of stairs to the street. They
marched swiftly down the broad stair
cases, four in a row and the four holding
hands, the latter provision to assist any
who might stumble in their hurried de-
parture. Each school was marshalled by
its teacher, who watched to see that the
stragglers were kept up with the swiftly
moving procession All the while the
piano was rythmieally pounding out it's
quick march, as if to reassure the chill
dren and at the same time to keep them
in step.
They have these drills frequently in
the Barre schools; in fact, have had them
for number of years. Sometimes faster
time is made than the Mathewson school
children made yesterday afternoon. The
Spaulding building with its devious ways
was cleared of 625 children in one minute
and 10 seconds; which is remarkably
good time considering the distance from
The rooms to the exits and considering
also the large number present.
Needless to say, the fire drill is a very |
wise provision.
