A flue in a boiler is a small article, but small things can cause trouble, as Supt. W.B. Crumpton discovered this morning when the blowing up of just such a flue prevented the heating system in the high school from functioning and made it necessary, due to the cold weather, to send the high school children back home for the day. The flue will be prepared in plenty of time, however, for school Tuesday, as workmen were put to work to remedy the defect as soon as the trouble developed.
Soon after the fire was started early this morning, the flue cracked and the necessity of giving up school for the day was apparent. It is the first trouble that the heating plant in the new high school has caused.
