Peter and | Paul parochial school on Broadway, South Boston, today. Sisters of Notre Dame, in charge | of the achool, succeeded in directing all the children from the building in safety and no one was reported in- Jjured. There was no sign of panic among the children, many of them very young, as they filed out of rooms on four floors of the five story brick building. Some of the puplls, perhaps re- calling the recent activities of “fire cited as they marched into the stree but they were reassured by the ters and the school was emptled in record time. The fire started from undeter- mined cause in & section of the fitth floor which had been used as a storeroom. There were no children on the fifth floor. School authorities stated that had the fire broken out on a lower floor, the problem of emptying the build- ing would have been far more seri- ous, apd some pupils might have been trapped on upper floors. After a preliminary investigation, police reported their appeared to have been nothing in the storeroom on the top floor which could have started the fire, and were inclined to believe that the incendiary responsi- ble for five church fires in South Boston within the past few weeks might have set today's blaze. ‘The school fire was confined to the top floor of the building and was quickly extinguished, causing only $3.000 damage. The scenes of the recent incen- | diary fires in South Boston were £t. Augustine’s church, 8t church, the South Boston Baptist church, Phillips Congregational church and the Gate of Heaven church. In most cases fires were discovered soon after they started and damage was comparatively slight. The most serious fire occurred at the South Boston ist church, which suf- fered $150,000 damage.
