The basement Is used as a carpenter shop and the boys were taught wood work there while anotther adjoining portion housed a portion of the heat ing furnaces. The fire spread rapidly v to the carpenter shop, which was filled with InllamaMe material and the blaze gave the firemen hard work for an hour before It was extinguished, the basement being flooded by pump lines.

Above the carpenter shop was the gymnasium, but the firemen prevented the flames from reaching this by hard work.
