Self Control

Not speed, but self-control
that is taken as the watchword
for teachers to follow in the drills.
Speed only confuSes the child and
is likely to cause accidents.
Detroit's children will be pro-
tected, say those who have worked
out the air raid drill system. There
are problems 10 be overcome, they
admit, but also insist they are
being met as rapidly as possible.
In general parents have given
good cooperation.
Fingerprinting and Identification
tags are being considered as an
added precautionary measure.

Singing is the most popular
diversion, but in some Of the
schools teachers in each room
have made an air raid kit

Shelter Room

Some of the schools, either be-
cause of construction or proximity
to industrial areas, are not con-
sidered safe shelters.
Pupils from these schools are
taken TO nearby homes, usually in
groups Of DO, in which one room,
preferably the basement, has been
rugged up as shelter room.
Here the procedure is the same
keep the children quiet and
interested in a game or song.
Last year the plan in cases
where schools were evacuated dur
ing the alarms was TO return the
to their own homes.
"This isn't very satisfactory"
officials say. "In many cases the
parents were not at home and
the child was left by himself.
With so many more women
working now this is even more
true today"

rom the halls of Monte

"From the halls of Monte
yuma 10 the shores OF TripolL"
If you should wander into one
of Detroits school buildings and
see the children all seated, Indian
fashion, along the corridors sing
ing snatches of the marine hymn,
don't be too surprised.
It's not the latest wrinkle in
teaching music-it's an air raid
drill.
The ssinging keeps the young
minds occupied and the marine
hymn happens 10 be a favorite in
lots of the schools. There's an
other reason for the singing. In
an actual raid conclusion dangers
are lessened if the children have
their mouths Open.

Biggest Drawback

Fire department officials have
found that the biggest drawback
for the auxiliary volunteers is the
inactivity between the time they
are drilled until they have a
chance 10 actually operate. This
they will get around by forming
teams and staging competitive
drills to start in a few weeks.
The competition will include

Then, she said, the Negro sug-
