Student Injured"
by Falling Brace.
Donald Leith, 101, was slightly in jured
.last Tuesday when he was -hit on
the head. by- a falling brace. The iron
brace, one'of-'the -severalI hundred that
support: the railing next to the open-
ing, -became loosened and: fell at the
time when students were - passing, to
their sixth period- classes. Donald- was'
on: the .stairway near the second floor
when- he, was hit. First aid -was- administered,
to_ him and he -resumed his
studying the ninth period.
All the braces hive been tested with-
out any more loose ones being found
so that it- is probable that some defective
part. caused the brace to fall.
