The “school” is sponsored jointly by the League of Minnesota Muni- cipalities, the Universit@ of Minne- |sota and the Minnesota department of insurance. Agencies in three Northwest states are cooperating with its sponsors. They are the state fire marshals’ offices in North and South Dakota, United States Bureau of Mines, National Board of Fire Underwriters, Underwriters Laboratories, City of Minneapolis ad the General Inspection Bureau of Washington, D. C. Meet at University As the First Annual Northwest Fire school, the group wil hold meetings on the University of Min- nesota campus. The work of the school is desi principally for the ben fit of volun- teer fire de sartments in the smaller cities and towns of the Northwest. Because the school will last only five days, the Minneapolis Fire De- partment and Harvey Walker, Min- neapolis, director of the school, plan to limit the number of men who ac- tually participate in the drills to 12 squads of six men each. In order to make the tr-ining offered of the greatest possible benefit to the larg- est number of persons, they plan to designate one man from each de- partment to take the active train- ing. Thirty-six places are for Minneso’a fire department _rep- resentatives and 18 each from North and South Dakota. Good Talks Planned r Delegates to the school will gath- er each morning for discussions mnci tren sorkpod tari meth- Is of ‘ing and prevent fires. Preventive work will be the subject of addresses by many firemen in the Northwest. First aid and resuscl-| used tation will also be discussed. R. R. Sayers, chief surgeon cf the United States Bureau of Mines at Washing- ton, D. C., will address the delegates on the subject of first aid. Afternoon sessions will be devoted for the most part to practical dem- onstrations of the methods studied in the morniag sessions.
