The. Court tf In Spite of Incessant Bombardment, Instruction in Rheims Goes On (Associated Press) Rheims, France, Sept. 9. With a daily average of 1,300 pupils attend ing school, above and below ground, in Rheims during the last eighteen months under intermittent bombard ment, not a single injury or accident ha3 happened to any of the scholars. Classes have-to be interrupted for days at a time, but the fact never lessens the zeal of the teachers or the diligence of the pupils, though the enemy is not more than 2,000 yards off. To a large extent the classes are held in the cellars and wine-caves of the town, in some instances two stor ies below the surface of the street. There the air is more humid and there is less light than in the ordinary schoolroom above ground, but other wise there is little difference in the conditions or the routine. When a bombardment begins some of the children how signs of fear; not always for themselves but for father or mother whom they think must be in danger. When the bom bardment has completely ceased the children are dismissed and sent home. The streets are then safe excepting the exterior boulevards where the children are warned not to go. Some of the school scenes are trag ic, others comic notwithstanding trag-j ical surroundings. A class will be at work when suddenly a servant opens the door and calls out that "they are bombarding close by." A second or two later the noise of a shell burst ing on a nearby hours makes the smaller children tremble and cry. At once the classes are led down into the cellars, some of them carried by sol diers who have come in off the street to avoid shell splinters. TOOK OFF THE WAR TAX (Times-Union) , .
