No. ,. last Friday, owing to the near
ness TO which the mercury approached
zero in their halls.
1t seems odd that with all the mod.
ern Improvements and inventions, that
a heating apparatus cannot be secured
adequate to heat up school building.
The suffering which some endure in
sitting in cold rooms Is almost crying
sin. 1t Is altogether probable that the
inequality of the temperature Of the
various rooms is one of the prime
causes Of sickness among the students
this year Unless The temperature can
be made more congenial with the pres
ent apparatus, the societies would bet
ter use stoves in heating their halls as
they did formerly.
Home again.
