T1'I7f1lilIg School Destroyed by Fire Out of the ashes of a training school building which was razed by fire of un- known origin January 8 will rise a new structure which will more modernly serve the Central State of the future. Perhaps by next September there will be ready for service a new training school unit which will house the kindergarten and first six grades. Governor VVilliam A. Comstock and the State Administrative Board have authorized payment for this unit out of the state insurance fund. The two story brick training school building which was erected in 1903 was the oldest on the campus. lt housed the kindergarten and nine grades, the manual arts department of the college, and the appointment office. Observers who were first on the scene believed the fire to have started either in the paint room of the manual arts department or in the kindergarten nursery room. lfiremen arrived at ti :-15 but the Hames had made such headway that nothing was saved. All thirteen instructors who had their offices in the training school lost heavily in the way of personal libraries and materials, much of these irreplaceable such as the completed manuscript for a book which the Misses Jessie McLean and Ethel l-'raeger had prepared. Five thousand volumes, including one of Michigan's finest junior high libraries, went up in Hames. Central rallied to the emergency, as the college did after the fire which took the former administration building in December of 1925. A number of depart- ments offered temporary and permanent quarters to the homeless classes. With uncomplaining sacrifice rooms and offices were turned over in the administration, the science and the temporary buildings. Training school children, college students and faculty and townspeople, backed with the financial aid and sympathy of state officials, all cooperated to overcome the handicap of this building loss.
