HOULT

\ Fire whichwas discovered at 1880
yesterday afternoon damaged the
woodwork and plastering OF the
new school building At Hoult to
some extent but the. loss is not
serious.
Tho fire was first discovered in
one of the cloak rooms by one OF
the smaller. pupils from the prim-
airy room. Smoke was issuing
from the wainscoing next the fur
mace stack and the pupil at once
reported 1t to the teacher. Ex-
animation by the teachers showed
that the smoke was coming from
around tho woodwork and round
the flue, and the smell OF scorch-
ed wood was noticed. The pupil9
wede at once told to secure their
| books and leave the house, while
1.-THE teachers and larger pupils
tried to locate the fire. Meanwhile
the alarm was given, and a crowd
OF people soon collected. The fire
was soon extlnguished, and the
damage is not thought to be
large,
The school board will meet to
day with the construction foreman
Mr.. squiTes. and D. W. Morgan,
who installed the furnace. 1t
/ will not be known until after the
meeting Just what caused the flue
to get so hot, or what steps will
sbo taken to repair the damage
and TO safeguard against reoc-
currence Of the danger.
| The school will assemble in the
old building Monday morning, to
the great regret Of the teachers
and pupils, who are enthusiastic
/ about their new building.
/ Much credit is due to the citi-
zens who nobly responded when
the alarm was raised. and the
Board OF Education takes this
opportunity to thank them for
their service.
