by resolution pronouncing 1t inexpedient
on the part Of the union to take any such

sued, AFTER which the resolution was adopted,
and the meeting adjourned. This action on

The BOARD oE HEALTH AND Our SCHOOLS.
We hope the resolutions of the Board of
Health to condemn those school r0Jlns
which do not afford the ne. rs of ventilation,
VIII nc. he considered by them dead. letter.
There are four schools In miserable low
building on the corner of Fifth street and
Massachusetts avenue, which may be called
the slaughter.pen Of the innocents. Low
ceilings, no ventilation, no play grounds,
and the closets without drainage have made
these schools a nuisance to the ncigbbor-
hood, and source of disease to the unfor-
tunate children. We hope the Board OF
Health and the School Trustees will abatc
the nuisance. Better no schools at all than
those where the atmosphere becomes so viii.
atcd and thick that you can cut 1t with q
knife.-CivA Service Journal.
