Fire Warden, o. A. Norman, looked |
over the central group of buildings We'd |
nesday of last week. He thought that |
the old central building is rather a dan
gerous fire risk because of the narrow |
halls and stairways In this building we |
have frequent fire drills and Mr.. Green |
field, the janitor, reports that he is able !
to get the children out of the building |
in So seconds. This seems to be good |
speed record and if the children will re-
main cool in case fire occurs there |
should be no trouble in getting them
out safely.
