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. 2 ULTIMATUMS OF THEJM” Both Factions in Camp of the Unemployed Demand Food in Taking Up March.

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 A beautiful Old Eng lisli gelid mahogany Bed Boom Suite. 50 in.

CLUB PLAN 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. Tha Line-Up. Following is the line-up of Friday's game: Converse. Position.
