NEW SY*° &M OF FIRE DRILLS
MODELED AFTER WELLESLEY



The purpose of the new system of fire
drills is to do away with all the confusion
and futility of the drills of the past. In
the old system time was lost and con-
fusion caused by persons coming from
a distant part of the building to the as-
sembly place and receiving orders where

to go to another part of the building.

The result was wasted energy and time
for those sent on draughts and warnings,
and enormous responsibility on the lieu-
tenants to remember whom they had
sent, and where they had sent them. To
remedy this, the squad system has been
adopted. According to this system, the
aide of each squad at the sound of the
alarm is responsible for her squad and
acts immediately
time in receiving orders. After seeing
that all of her squad are out of their

rooms and that all windows have been |
closed, she goes to her assembled squad, |

and since each person is arranged in a
definite order, she can tell at a glance
and these names she re-
lieutenant in charge who
has the roll book. In this way much
time is saved, and the lieutenant in
charge bas an account of everyone, and
has entrusted nothing to her memory.

The drills will always be conducted ex-
actly as in a fire. The alarm will be the
and only the lieutenants will know
whether it is a drill or a fire.. The sole
purpose of the drill is to get everyone
out-of -the—britdine—in—an-erderby
and to have everyone accounted for.
actual fighting of the fire will be done
only by the trained: Fire Fighting Bri-
vade,. composed ef men, the head fire
captain, the six hall captains, and six hall
lieutenants, all under the leadership of
Mr, Tom Foley. The ordinary students
will, therefore, not be allowed to attempt
to put the fire out. Her sole duty is to
shut her windows, provide herself
with a wet towel and heavy clothing and
form in and
thus be accounted for. If each person
that her part in the drill, though
is very important, the system will
direct and effective.
