Declares Davidson Grammar School Menace To
Lives of Hundreds of Children; Is a Wooden
Building With Furnace Placed Underneath
Mr. P. S. North Created a Mild
Sensation at Board of Educa
tion Meetinq on Yesterday
Morninq
SUPT. EVANS SAYS FIRE
ESCAPES ARE DANGEROUS
Claims That if Equipped With
Them Children, in Panic,
Would Fall, Superintendent
Tells of Fire Drills.
Declaring Unit a number of the pub
lic arhool buildings In Auituata arc
Inadequately equipped for the safety
of the pupils In case of fire, have no
fire earn pea or extinguishers where
he nays they ahould, Mr. P. 8, North,
member of the Hoard of Education
from the Hecoml Want, created a
mil'! ttenxatlon yesterday morning at
the hoard's regular meeting.
At Davldion School.
"Why.” he nays, "the Devldson
Grammar Wchool, a frame structure
with Ita heating furnace underneath
the building, not out in the yard, la
nothing else limn a menace to the
Uvea of Ita hundreds of innocent pu
plla. If there were a tire and fifty
or sixty of these young Uvea lost Iu
the flumes wo school trustees would
hHvc to he leaving town; the people
would have ua down aa a crowd of
IgnoramiiHCH, ao I for one want to
go on record as being opposed to such
conditions as now exists In some ot
our schools, particularly the David
son."
What Mr. North had to aav In this
regard before the hoard meeting yes
terday was seconded by Mr. Henry
Fund, a trustee from the Kourtu
Ward, who said that the matter should
be Investigated.
Mr. North, according to a state
rent he made after the meeting, wilt
attempt to have city council so amend
the ordinance pertaining to lire es
capes on buildings to include school
houses, and thereby make It compul
sory for the board of education to
provide fire escapes on all of its
school buddings in the city.
Says Fire Escapes Danqerous.
Mr. Evans, (lie superintendent, ar
gues that fire escapes, while a safety
device for grown people, would be
dangerous for children. He says
they would tail from them In the
panic that would most likely follow
an alarm of fire, and thua would do
more harm than good. He adds that
at all ol the schools the doors open
outward and there are means on every
floor of giving the alarm by simply
pressing a button ringing a loud gong,
which is never rung except in case
or tire or fire Irlll practice All or
the school principals, according to
Mr Rvans have orders to keep up
their fir.- drills The pupils to avoid
stampede are not allowed to march
out of the building In less thHn two
minutes, nor more than five minutes
in the drills. In the larger scnools
the pupils are all on the grvnind,
minus hooks and hats which they are
not permitted to stop and get. Inside
of two minutes.
When Stairways Are Blocked.
One of Mr. North’s contentions Is
that It would he easily possible for
the stairwavs iu the school building to
soon become blocked off by the tire,
and in this event, he says, is where
Hie fire escapes would come in
The John Mllledge School Is the
only one of the system equipped with
fire extinguishers. None have fire
escapes.

With Victory Over College Girls
Arrived Last Eveninq From
Spartanburq, S. C.. Where
Thev Defeated Converse Col
leqe Friday Afternoon By 25
to 5 Score in Remarkable
Game of Basketball
A PROFITABLE TRIP
Were Given An Insight of Col
lege Life and Treated Most
Cordially While at the Col
lege. Augusta Girls Credited
With Having One of the Best
Teams in the South,
The Tubman High School basketball
team relumed to the city last night
from Spartenhurg. S t\, much elated
over its victory over the Converse Col
lege team Friday afternoon. |ty a
score of 25 to 5 the Augusta girls bent
their college rivals In what Is said by
those who witnessed the exhibition to
have been the prettiest game In which
the Tubman team has ever been “par
tlcepa fracas."
’Twa* Friday, 13th. Too.
The Converse girls argue they just
have won because it was Friday, the
13th. But Just ask the young Indy of
Converse who hnd to guard Hazel
Murray whether this superstition had
anything to do with It. Miss Murray,
as usual, was seen as a star. She
nkkde nine of Tubman’s twelve field
goals scored, and was responsible for
19 of the 25 points credited to her
team. Nell Griffin shot two field goals
ami Katheryn Cunningham, who was
substituted In the second half of the
game for Miss Griffin, made one field
goal. Sara Morris was substituted In
the second half for Julie Hredenberc.
The changes were made simply to give
a rouple of the “subs" a chance to get
into the game, as It was the last of the
season. The score at the end of the
second half was 19 to 2 in Tubman’s
favor, and Miss Gwendolyn Howe, the
coach, could see no loss in making the
substitutions. The subs were more
than anxious for a few minutes play
anyway. At the same time substitu
tlona were also made hy Converse.
Remarkable Passing.
It is an Interesting fact to know that
some of the best work Friday for Tub
man was done by none other than
Helene von Sprecken, at the position
of guard. She worked hard and
steadily for her team and her passing
was very good. In fact the passing of
the Augusta girls was in a large meas
ure what won their game. It was lim
ply as a result of good passing that in

ten seconds after the referee’s whistle
blew for the game to start Tubman
had shot the first goal and her girls
were breathless with Joy. The score
soon multiplied, for It Is said that Tub
man had was shooting goals while
Converse was thinking of it. They
were Just too fnat for the collegians,
that’s all
The team put up against Tubman's
was composed of young-ladies larger
and heavier, and doubtless if they had
had the training the Augusta girls
have taken Tuhin.'inltea would have
returned In a different spirit. It so
happened that it fell to Maude DH
worth, captain of the Augusta team,
to guard the player who Is credited as
being the Converse team's best, and It
also happened that this Converse
"star" failed to shine In sucli blinding
radiance as had been expected, for she
was too closely guarded to be comfort
able. anil rarely did she ever get her
hi nils on the hall to even attempt to
shoot n goal. It was good work for
Miss Dllwnrth and helped to hold the
college girls down to such a small
score.
Margaret Russell did her part at
center as did her partner Julie Bre
denberg. Miss Russell deserves spe
cial mention because this Is her first
year at Tubman and the manner in
which she has progressed on the team
has been notable.
Unbounded Hospitality.
However, the Converse girls con
ceded their defeat happily, and the fact
that they lost the game had no effect
on their unbounded hospitality. The
Augusta party was most cordially
treated during its visit. They were
trade to feel at home from the moment
they stepped off the train.
I>r. Robert Fell is president of Con
verse, a college of some two hundred
young ladles. The president did all in
his power to make the trip for Uie
Tubman girls a profitable one and to
say that he succeeded Is indeed putting
It mildly. The Augusta girls are over
whelming in their praise of the royal
reception given them.
