AN ENPEDlENT OF DOUBTFUL
VALUE,

The result aimed at does not Away
Justify the means employed to attain II
So the plan adopted by Rutland sehoo
commissioner in order TO get the children
in his city acquainted with the condi
tions likely to arise In fire emergency
does not seem to be justified. This plar
was to have policeman cry out Fire
at the top of his lungs in one building
after another, the children having been
given no warning whatever. The plan
was carried out in several buildings, and
in some cases the pupils were wrought
up almost to stage OF hysteria by
their panic-stricken fears and there was
considerable confusion in getting out of
the buildings. In the buildings occupied
by the older pupils there was less men
tai stress and fairly quick egress was
made
But whatever the situation, the point
seems to have been lost sight of that in
a school which is properly drilled the
resort to the cry of Fire" is discouraged,
if not absolutely forbidden; and the
warning is given simply by the sounding
of the fire gong Moreover, it is a mighty
poor policy to teach children to shout
Fire" in any public assemblage, and 1t
seems TO US that the resort to that ex-
pedient as fire warning even in prac-
tiee is calculated to implant in the minds
of children that they should also call
Fire anywhere and any time when
the conditions seem to warrant. The
cry of Fire" in a crowded theatre has
resulted in terrible holoeausts, notably
the Iroquois theatre fire in Chicago many
years ago; and what would be more nat
ural for a child to do in such an as
semblsge than to cry Fire" just as the
policeman did in the school building?
The practice was for the moment just
as realistic to the child's mind as the
actual emergency would be in some other
public building. The idea of the fire
drill is to prevent panic and to make
egress from a building as free from ex
element as possible. When someone,
full grown man bearing the |
of a policeman, shouts Fire"
the whole scheme of preserving calmness
is turned topsy-turvy. We do not think
the Rutland school commissioner plan /
ought TO be followed out.

Although people in northern and cen
trail Vermont have little direct interest
in the Valley fair at Brattleboro, they
nevertheless feel measure of satisfac.
tion that the promoters of that fair have
decided to keep the exhibition going rath-
er than to shut up shop as was threat
ened before the annual meeting of the
Valley Fair association. The closing Of
the Brsttleboro fair would have had a
depressing effect on many other fair as
sociations throughout Vermont. for they
look to the Brsttleboro association to be
somewhat Of a leader in that line Of
activity.
