upon the parade grounds when the
flames burst through the roof. By
fast work the belongings of each boy
and all the furnishings of the build

is in the main building, the students
can be cared for and school will be
continued without the loss of single
day. The new barracks were COM
pleted two years ago at cost of
$4,000. They were modern in every
detail, being equipped with steam
heat, running water in each room,
baths, etc. Only $4,000 insurance
was carried making the loss to the
owners very heavy.
