For the fourth time within the year the eMiclency of the fire drill in the Brooklyn schools hay been practically demonstrated when to-day 1,800 pupils of Public School No, 15 marched calmly out of the building at the tap of the gong while the hallways were filling with smoke from a fire In the basement, The goto! was completely emptied in three minutes and the fire, which wes of alarming appearance when dis- quickly extinguished with Bohool No, 15 ia one of the oldest in Brooklyn and consists of two bulldings built together In Third avenue, between @tate and Schermerhorn streets, Theo- dore Kronbach, a well-known member of the New York State Volunteer Life- Baving Corps, who conducts a hotel at Third cvenue and Twenty-fifth street, was passing the school on a Third aye- nue car when he saw flames in the basement under room No, 3 Jumping from the car, Kronbach ran to the building and, peering through the win- dow grating, saw flames leaping aroun the big wooden box that Incased a large gas metre, situated at the Schermerhorn atreet end of the school, He ran to tho office of Principal Sher- man and told him of the fire, At the game moment @ small boy brought the news from Miss Ida McMahon, teacher of room No, 8 that emoke was oozing into her room. Mr. Sherman gave the rapid dismissal fire signal of three taps on the fire gong, and In response to this signal the children, who have been weil | drilled, rose immediately and without stopping for hats and wraps marched out. The teachers and monitors took their stations and within three minutes the school was emptied of people.
