Pitliul Scenes When During London Air
Raid a Bomb Struck Schoolhouse Kill-
ing and Mulilating Number of Children
and Seriously injuring Others.
(Canadian Prooo Doopatchi)
LONDON-The ‘bombing of a school
house furnished one of the mc-st pl-
liable scenes in the whole of yester-
day'g air raid by German airplanes.
The bomb struck the roof square cut-
ting clean through and passing
through two class rooms one above
the cther, killing some children but
sparing the majority. lt finally ex-
ploded with terrlfllc force in a room
on the ground floor where there
were sixty~four little children from
dvd to seven years old. ten of whom
were killed outright and all the
others more or less injured.
The roc-m was filled with the
screams and moans of the tiny sili-
ferers many of whom were crying dis-
tractedly for their rmotliers.
Helpers who rushed in from out-
side found four women teachers won-

and trying to calm those who were
only slightly hurt. Many of the
children were lying limp and helpless
across shattered desks bleeding from
terrible wounds. Others were wri-
thilig in pain and some bodies were
unrocognizshle.
The helpers removed the victims as
speedily as possible and in the ab-
sence oi’ ambulances took the worst
cases in tradesmen’s carts to a lios-
pital half a mile away. Some of the
worst injured died later. In the
meantime a crowd of women besieged
theshattered ‘building searching ex-
citedly for their children and croat-
ing distressing scenes. Some were
almost insane fro-m grief.
