ima. By PAUL MAZNEK Fire is, in my opinion, the most disas- trous and feared element on this earth. It is very untimely and can do more damage in a very short time than any other being, element, or compound. We have fire drills in our school just in case a fire should be encountered. Our Fire drills are good, I suppose. To the super- iors, I believe, they seem quite satisfactory. I do not know how long a period of time elapses before every person is out of the building, but I do wonder just how efficient our Fire drills are. lust how much do we profit by having a fire drill every now and then? I mean, does a fire drill teach us the seriousness of its siginificence? Iust how will we act if there is a real Fire in our school? I-Iow shall we respond if an exit is found cut off? What if we encounter engulfing smoke and perilous flames, devouring everything with a turbulent roar? To many students a fire drill means nothing more than an opportune time to check answers, or to give a detailed descrip- tion of the latest Hirtation. There are many school disasters in our country and a few might be stated here. In Collinwood, Ohio, a school fire claimed one hundred and seventy-three children as vic- tims. In Peabody, Massachusetts, a volcano of scorching smoke fatally engulfed twenty-two girls and boys. The blackened remains of seventy-seven children were raked out of the ashes of a Camden, South Carolina, school- house. Ninety percent of our schools are still shameful fire-traps. A well organized fire drill can work miracles. At Timnath, Colorado, two hun- dred and twenty-three pupils walked through M. H. S. ORACLE smoke so thick that they had to hold hands to avoid going astray in the halls! In Mil- waukee nine hundred and fifty came safely through the blaze in perfect discipline, though the blaze did 335,000 damage in fifteen min- utes, and four hundred and seventy-five youngsters in Fort Worth made their way to safety despite the fact that two stairways had been cut off. The Texas system is the best that may be found in the country. Here the study of Fire hazards is included in every curriculum, and two fire drills a month are held in all schools. Before any drills are held, the students have what football coaches would call skull practice. The location of the primary and secondary exits for each group is made clearg the treacherous behavior of fire is dramatized. In short the pupils are taught the signifi- cance of a fire drill. A feature of the Texas system is the ob- structed drill which gives the children prac- tice in emergency thinking. A large red ball is secretly placed on some stairway or Fire escape, indicating that this exit is cut off. Located so that the students don't see it until the last moments, it comes as a surprise. But they turn calmly to another exit. Sooner or later, stricter measures will be taken so that the students will be prepared to meet the fire emergency that comes to every school.
