What Teachers and Pupils
Should Do in Case of Air
Attack Told by Officials.
Washington. Dec. 18. (IP)
The office of civilian defense
requested today that wire serv
ices and newspapers carry a set
of Instructions on "what school
teachers 'and pupils should do
during an air raid."
Termed "emergency instruc
tions for schools until further
notice" the OCD's list follows:
1. What to do when the air
raid warning sounds.
"Howling" siren, short blasts
or other local general warning).
Sound the school fire alarm in
a general way (short rings, etc.)
Have each class leave its room
In order as in fire drill. Conduct
classes to the air raid refuge.
Do not permit any pupils to
leave the building.
Do not allow any pupils to
return to classrooms until the
"all-clear" signal is given.
Do not send the pupils home.
These protective measures
will require organization, plan
ning, training and drill. They
should be started at once.
2. Air raid drill.
Use your fire drill organiza
tion to get pupils to the air raid
refuge. Have them file from the
class room the same way, in the
same order, under the same
leaders. But take them to the
air raid refuge.
3. The air raid refuge.
The chance of a direct hit on
any individual building is very
small. You must guard against
the bltst of nearby high-explosive
bombs, and incendiaries
and falling fragments of antiair
craft shells.
You must get away from win
dows, and from open doors. The
large Inside halls of most
schools are suitable for an air
raid refuge. Do not use the halls
on the top floor of the building.
The cellar is a suitable air raid
refuge provided there are plenty
of exits and provided any win
dows to the outside can be pro
tected by a layer of sandbags.
Select the most protected
places in the building be sure
they provide enough capacity to
hold everyone without crowd
ing. Be sure there is more than
one exit.
It is important, too, that the
air raid refuge should have easy
access to drinking water and
toilet faculties.
4. What to do about Incendi
aries. Be sure the fire extinguishers
re In proper working order. Be
sure you have enough people
teachers or older pupils who
know how to use them. Appoint
these people as fire guards.
Have them take assigned posts
when the air raid drill sounds.
Appoint a chief fire guard.
If incendiaries hit the build
ing, the fire guards should try
to handle them, and put them
out with water spray. If the fire
gets beyond control, the chief
fire guard should sound the reg
ular fire alarm. All pupils

should then be conducted from
the building as in regular fire
drill. Class leaders should con
duct them in an orderly fashion
to shelter in nearby homes.
Leaders must keep the pupils in
control.
5. What to organize.
Do these things right away
they are essential now:
(a) Select the air raid refuge
more than one if necessary. Be
sure there is more than one exit.
(b) Determine how the school
alarm will be sounded for an air
raid.
(c) Assign a refuge space or
refuge room for each class or
classroom. Assign class leaders
to conduct the drill the same
as for fire.
(d) Have instructions read
over and over again to pupils.
Have them posted on bulletin
boards. Be sure every teacher
and pupil understands them
now.
These things should be done
at once. We are suddenly, unex
pectedly, at war. When you have
completed all of these things, it
is time to organize your long
range planning.
6. Here are some of the steps
to take.
The department of education
or other school authority, under
the direction of the local de
fense coordinator, should plan
and adopt a war program for
the duration. Here are some of
the steps to consider:
(a) Appointment of school
building warden, whose duties
should be coordinated with their
local zone or district warden
service.
(b) Special transmission of air
raid warnings from the control
center to school buildings.
(c) Fire defense adequacy of
present equipment, appointment
of fire watchers (or fire guards),
and special training in combat
ting incendiaries.
(d) Protective construction
quick and simple measures to
provide additional security.
(e) Study of alternate air raid
refuges for teachers and pupils
in case of fire. Depending upon
location, suitable buildings in
the neighborhood may be avail
able for use as air raid refuge.
It is desirable to explore this
possibility in order to effect
dispersion where it can be done
without undue exposure to the
children.
7. What to do about training.
Start your training now. Don't
wait for the final plan. Drill
your pupils to behave on an air

raid alarm just as they do on a
fire alarm. Hold drill every few
days until they are thoroughly
accustomed to it.
Keep up the morale of the
pupils, so that If a raid occurs
you will have experience In
keeping them occupied. Organ
ize first aid training for selected
groups. Organize fire defense
training for the fire guards.
8. Are we in danger?
The answer to that is we
don't intend to be caught nap
ping again anywhere or any
time. We are not going to say
again "It can't happen here."
Don't rush around, don't
worry, but act. These are sim
ple precautions. Read them
again. Think how you will appy
them to your school. Then take
the necessary action today.
. PARENTSI
Read Thlsl
If an air raid should come
while your - children are at
school, see to your own safety.
Stay home, go to your refuge
room, stay away from windows.
Do not try to reach the school.
You could accomplish no good.
You could do a great deal of
harm by such action.
In an air raid, rule number
1 is to stay off the street, set
under cover. On the street, there
is the risk of falling shell frag
ments, racing cars, and fire ap
paratus. Stay indoors.
Do not try to telephone. The
wires must be kept clear for the
wardens, the police, and the
fire department. You might pre
vent an urgent message from
getting through.
This is hard advice. It's not
easy to take. But it is for your
best Interest and for the welfare
of your children.
