CITY SCHOOLS,
Use new FIRE
DRILL SYSTEM
Teachers and Pupil Traffic
Officers Are Assigned
Separate Duties.

School IRE ca iaStrophieS Of the
past prove that one-third Of the
casualties result from children
rushing down stairways directly into
the danger zone and that an even
larger percentage Of accidents result
from children attempting to use an
exit blocked by smoke, flames or
debris.
Under the new fire drill system
recently inaugurated by Indianap-
oils public schools, teachers and
school traffic officers are assigned
stations in the building, forming
safety corps under the direction Of
the principal. Captains appointed
by the principal are responsible for
drill on their respective floors.
Alarm Signal Given
A simple but effective signal Of
designating a blocked stairway is
given with the general fire alarm.
AT the first sound of the alarm.
members Of the safety corps take
their stations while pupils form
ranks within the rooms.
At the command Of march" chill
dren march from their rooms and
are led to stairways and exits be-
yond the danger area. Disabled
pupils are assisted to safety bv
school traffic officers. A quick but
! thorough search is made of the
entire building for any child who
might have tainted, stumbled and
fallen.
AS the building is vacated the
pupils are conducted a safe dis
lance from the scene. School traf-
nc officers clear the streets of traffic
that the fire department will not be
delayed upon arrival. Recall to the
building is given by distinctive
signals that can not be mistaken.
Safety Experts Approve System
indianapolis is one of the first
cities in the country to install the
improved regulations. The drill has
been approved and recommended by
the Exit Code, a scientific treatise
on the subject by underwriters and
safety experts Of national reputa-
ton.
The new drill regulations are the
result of efforts of a special COM
n1lttee appointed by Paul G. Stet-
son, superintendent Of schools and
chairman, consisting of Julian Wet
eel, school commissioner; E. H.
Kenlper McConb, Manual Training
high school principal; Belle Hamey.
principal Of School rs; DR.. w. A.
Ocker, director of physical educa-
ton; Tod Stops, Hoosier Motor
Club; Virgil Ferguson, indianapolis

land Yard positive Identification describing
him as a forger and confidence man, with
record Of seven arrests in London alone, was
caoied back. Mr.. Jones went to Sing Sing for
q long, lSng time.
The success Of the New York system led TO
Its establishment in other American cities
Scotland Yard, the Service de rIdentite
JudactaiTe IN Paris, the New York police and
the department at Leavenwurth expanded
their operations by exchanging prints Then
rs step toward Capitalization, the InteTna-
t1onal Association of Police Chiefs began to
contribute hngerprint records to the National
Bureau of Criminal Identification ut Washing
ton, which was established IN 1894. The need
for central bureau was obvious.
In the absence Of such q central once where
all records might be stored even those cities
which had hngerprint systems had to operate
ON hit-or-miss method. There was no way
OF determining, unless the prisoner was IN q
confidential mood that he might, perhaps
have committed murder under another name
at Oshkosh and grand larceny at Santa Re.
The insistent demand of police chiefs and
the Bar Association ultimately led to the es-
Enlistment Of the National Division Of Identi-
fcation and Information at washington IN
1924. The department. was placed under the
direction Of J. Edgar Hoover, director Of the
Bureau Of Investigation of the Department Of
Justice. Within the last seven years the
bureau has certainly equaled, not surpassed,
the records of the older similar departments IN
Europe
The present high efficiency of the bureau has
been achieved by enlisting the cooperation
of any and all police officials from commits
sioners tn>the largest cities to peace officers in
the smallest towns.
With the growth of the art, the fngerprint
expert alas, has lost much of his uniquenesS.
Time was when his appearance in a court room
caused a general craning Of neckS and spiteful
wrangling among counsel. He was generally
apotheosised by the prosecution and belittled
by the defense The first court case in the
United States IN which the guilt of q suspect
for a particular crime rested solely upon
hngerprtnts he left at the scene Of the crime
was momentous affair. The prisoner was
charged with burglarizing q loft On a pane
of glass removed from the door entering the
loft detectives found set Of fngerprints. And,
searching the fingerprint records of 100 known
active loft burglars in the city, they ultimately
matched these prints, they alleged, with the
recorded prints of the man at the bar.
The trial was held in 1911. So great was
the interest IN it that the judge presiding
invited ali the well known handwriting ex-
perts to sit in as his guests. On the fourth
day Of the trial the assistant district attorney
allowed he defendant to take q plea "in the
interest Of the science Of fngerprfntS," since
there might have been some doubt in the
