HIGH SCHOOL FIRE
TEST TO Be REPEATED
Yesterdays Experiment Not
Satisfactory. as tho Pupils
Anticipated II.

Because the fire test at the High
School yesterday afternoon was not as
satisfactory as had been hoped and
because of the uncertain results OBJ
tanned. another and n more complete
one Will be held some time In the fu-
ture. but every effort will be made TO
have Il a complete surprise. which yes
tcrday's was not. as the boys and girls
in The school knew IL was coming and
were on the lookout for the sounding
OF the alarm. Consequently they We're
all prepared when the gongs did strike
and they leisurely made their way
from the building 20 the street. clear
ing the Railways in about four minutes
which Is not considered very rapid
time as those who arranged the test
believe IL can DO done in at least two
minutes.
The test was witnessed by s. X
Smith. w. Il. Megear. /. i. Wicker
sham. directors Of the Department OF
Public Safety. members of City Coun-
ell. Fire Chief William J. Lutz. Fire
Marshal T.. NJ. Ainscow. members OF the
Rotary Club and others. The 2.IlC
boys and girls attending the schoo
We're IN the corridors changing class
rooms when the fire alarm WAS sound
ed IL was the first time such a test
/ had been made and it's purpose was
To determine whether the pupils would
know what TO do az we'll as they know
when the alarm strikes while they ar,
in their class rooms.
AS many OF them knew what wa:
scheduled TO happen they jokingly
made their way 10 the doors and Il
the street. II was found however tha
they used only one door az exits wher,
two or more We're available. 1t wa!
also found the alarm bell is not lou,
enough and the children on the thir,
floor did not hear IL at all or coul'
hardly distinguish the sound from tn
Irregular class bells. However there wa
no confusion or excitement.
Marshal Ainscow is TO compile a re
port on the test from the standpoin
OF the fire department officials. Amon
other things ne probably will recon
mend louder fire bell or more of ther
through the building. 1t is also prob
able that later he or some of the othe
fire officials will give the students
series OF instructions on fire emer
gencies and drills.
