CT rrepnrstion for the possible coming
OF he choieri; AID all an,i singular the
aches and shocks that flesh Is heir to lii
this heated term when eXhaiations rise
and the dog star reisns, We herewith re-
produce, RI by request OF some of our
mrst worthy and well meaning fellow
citizens, the following short treatise
from late number of the New York
World, upon the important subject Of
VENTILATION:
There is no doubt in the mind Of any
body who frequents them that our
p1biic buildings, tbeaters, churches and
schools are scandalousiy i'll ventilated.
The first are probably, considering how
crowded and how brilliantly lit with gas
they are, the least objectionable III this
respect of the three classes If buildings,
and the schools are probably the worst.
Ii is impossible that health can be
snaintained among boys and girls at the
age when most OF AL they need the most
cupious supply vi the freshest and
purest air III such recep;acles for foul air
81 the investigations of our reporters
have found many OF pG5ilc schools to be.
The uuhopettil aspect OF the case Is tins:
that the children who suffer by this alb
sence uf ventilation are too Ignorant to
hno = how srvat the injury of II 10 them
Is, and are perfectly powcrless to secure
the redress Of it. For that very reason
especial care ought to be used to help
them. who cannot possibly help them
selves, bat VINO are none the lcss surely
inhallug poisoned tlr, which Is snre 10
depresS their vitality and render them
UuusGaily sensitive to disease. ami il
very nhely to Undermine their physical
CONSTITUTIONS altogether.
Because there Is a vacation OF our
schools is no good reason why all this is
NO; quite applicable and relevant. That
which applies to the ventilation of a
applies with equal force to
any and all buildings where children
aud other human beings do con,regate. |
As gerinane to this same subject We |
1eem it worth while TO reprint the fol-
lowing which is from the columns of the
New York Times:
DIsINPEC1ANTs.
The extreme heat of the weather has
IN undonhtel tendency to foster disease
due to the eXhalatinns from drcaying
amin a and vegetable matter The use
Of disinf-ctants to parity drains, c So
pools. and other foul places, is therefore
10 be recommended. A large number of
go called disinfectants Is advertised, hnt
implicit confidence can hardly BE- placed
IN them. DR.. James. the City Sanitary
has recommended th-
Use of u mixture composed of ten
pounds of sulphate OF iron, four gallons
of water. and half pint Of common
acid. 4 mixture made OF thts-
in the proportions above
riven, has. therefore, excellent authority
or its use.
1t is our belief that it would be
,eneticent plan to enlis: a small army of
Cinnamon or other cheap laborers and
et them to toiing and pouring and
qnirting this, or some equally efficient
in and through and about
he cracks and seams and gopher-holes
nj small bitches and nasty drains and
nch like places and situations where
be fetid breath of disease fingers and
ccumalates. We shall resume this
Instructive discourse anon.
NEW DwELL1NGs.-We mean to take n
