school have you ever given serious thought to the kind of fire drill held in the school your children attend one fire drill in five years is very inadequate and actually dangerous the first essential in event of a fire in any school is to have the children leave the building in an orderly manner and to reach the point of safety without injury questions of fire fighting of salvaging wear ing apparel or of attempting in anyway to save mere material things are secondary to the safety of the children fire safety for school child ren must provide a definite pro gramme by which the location of all the available exits will be known to all the children to accomplish this it is necessary to have frequent drills well planned properly supervised and intelligently coordinated when an actual fire occurs the selection of the proper exit should be made without any hesitation frequency of drills is more important in the prim ary grades by the time pupils have reached high school the panicky feeling of a drill sliould no longer exist every school is different the age size of the children change yearly and the teaching staff and building employees do not remain the same it is necessary therefore for each school to consider the question of remov ing the children from the build ing drills for this purpose might be subdivided as follows plan purpose procedure plan definite detailed plans must be prepared explained to the teaching staff and to others who may be called upon to act in a supervisory manner and they should be modified as little as possible from any standardized drills used in other schools in the district purpose the purpose of any drill is to perform the operation a sufficient number of time so that it is possible in an emerg ency to carry it out in a natural unhurried manner drills there fore should be started during the beginning of the term procedure in executing fire drills consideration should be given to the health of the child ren but except at such times when there are epidemics of colds the short time that the children will be out of doors sel dom endangers their health even in severe cold weather the wise course is to resolve that the school children of your com munity be prepared to meet the fire emergency a d jennings fire chief quality service fulopep breeder mash ful o pep breeder mash was fed to nine flocks of which actual
