passing out through these pipes into the chin
neys. The air ls heated ms It comes through
the stoves, thus avoiding the bad effects of II
introduction of cold mir into the rooms.
No money was ever better expended than |
that used in putting up these stoves and pipes !
even though the buildings be not used more |
than one year Who can calculate the injury |
done to children by breathing impure air, for
six hours day, for even one month The |
Board Of Education deserve the thanks Of the
whole community for the manner in which they
have met the necessity of ventilation in our
school rooms. 1t is public bcneiactiOn, and
as the benefits Of this ventilation extends TO
nearly all the families of our village, no one
ought to object to the expenditure SO wisely
m ,de.
In former article, your correspondent re-
ferred to the number of pupils in the school
some Of the figures were not correct The
following is the number in the different rooms
at the present time High School 81 A. Gram
mer %; B. Grammer 3d. A. End Intermediate
50; b. 2nd Intermediate AZ 1st Intermediate
So Primary 90; total $50. There are now
enrolled n more than were enrolled the cor
responding week last year, and go more than
the highest number enrolled in any one week
of last year. Such an increase in the number
of pupils calls, of course, for corresponding
increase in the number of schools.
or the 2s pupils now in the A. Grammer
school, at least 20 will be promoted to the
High school at the close of the present year.
Assuming that six will graduate from the
High school, and that as many will come in,
who are not now counted with the schools,
as will leave it for other reasons, the High
school, next year, will number at least 45.-
Those acquainted with the capacity of our
school buildings will readily see that some
thing must soon be dene toward providing
more room or the efficacy of the school must
be diminished. SUPT.
