tN SCHOOL AFIRE, 2,500 CHILDREN MARCHED OUT Pupil Discovered Fire, Quietly Notified the Principal and There Was No Panic. Two thousand five hundred children, 1,200 of them in the kindergarten and Primary departments, marched out of Public School No, 3, in Brooklyn, with: Out accident to-day at the sound of tho fire-drill signal. There was a fire in the school and the little ones knew tt, but they went through the drill with ail the precision of veterans on parade. But for the presence of mind of one of the pupils, aa yet unidentified, the fire might have been more sertous. Thig child discovered the blaze and, instead of sermaming “fire,” as many @n adult would have done, ran quietly to the office of the principal, Dr. La Belle White, and put in motion the machinery that emptied the school i Jess than three minutes, There was but one fire extinguisher in the school und this was empty up to a fow weeks ago, ‘hen Dr, White caused it to be filled without authority from the School Board.’ The extinguisher was installed last summer, but the con- tractor who put it in failed to charge it with the extinguishing fluid. It is gald there are other schoola in Brook- lyn with empty fire extinguishers hang- ing in the halls. Public Bohool No, 3 1s a four-story brick and stone structure in Hancock atreet, between HMranklin and Bedford avenues, running back into Jefferson avenue, The Jefferson avenue side of the school is devoted to the primary and kindergarten departments, ‘The pupils of room No. 16, on the sec. ond floor, were in the auditorium at 11.90 o'clock to-day taking a@ singing feagon, and thelr roum was deserted, A pupil passing through the hall smelMd smoke and opened the door of Room 16. The bookcase along the wall in the rear was on fire, the flames were being fanned by the draught from open windows, The pupil closed the dour and hasten. ed to the office of Dr. White, on the same floor, The principal reached under hie desk and pushed the electric button that sounded a long roll on all the fire wongs in the school. This was the aig: had to chiidren and teacaen, rot Mt in a hurry PASH Fe DOESN The kindergarten and primary chil- @ren were out in a little more than two minutes, ‘bbe grammar school division took more time, as a majority were on vhe upper floors, One section’ wis com- elled to march past the room in which the fire was bliging, but not a child finch: or attemptea to crowd, Alter sounding the dril signal Dr. White sent in a fire alarm, ‘Then ho made his rey, to the ground floor for the tire extinguisher, which he had filled @ short timewago by pupils in ° ee Hme\age by pi the labora tory 16H School, John Constance: @raduate of the school pth hal Bi od to Be Passing when tha ren ‘Quit, entered t nding bor White ire the wet ae wether they carried the extinguisher to the econd floorand. when Arrived they had the ‘bingy Unagremer trol.
