Arriving at the school at a late hour after attending the legislature. Superintendent and Mrs. J. W. Howard noticed a strong smell of burning varnish. The night watchman was called in consultation and after some time it was discovered that some oiled cloths in the south end of the basement of the main building was afire, cause by spontaneous) combustion. Had it not been for the timely discovery the room would soon have been in a mass of flames, which would have spread rapidly through the frame building. Owing to the crowded condition of the manual traing department of the school, it has been neces sary to use as a store room a part of the basement ot the main build ing, and yesterday the students had been at work in the room pol ishing furniture. Though painstaking care has been used to acquaint the blind children in the school of methods of fire prevention, and recently a lecture given on causes of spon taneous cumbustion, etc., in some manner the cloths used in polish ing had been neglected and left piled on a table which they were varnishing. In view of rhe fact that there were about 30 blind boys and girls sleeping in the third story of the building it ts not to. be wondered at that Suprintendent Howard viewed with alarm the narrow es cape front what might have been a serious disaster, even though the students are trained in fire drills. It is felt by many that a fire proof dormitory is sorely needed for the school and last night's ex perience is but another proof of this need.
