sonal interest to protect as well.

answer the questions OF the COMMITTEES

ton. Charles f. Heiche was the first

That High School.

SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 20-1S91.
Editor of the LIGHT;-Dear Sir
write to request you to call public atten-
ton to a menacing danger threatening
the lives of hundreds of children attend
ing school at the High School building.
So dangerous a structure as that building
is well known to he is certainly not a safe
place for so many human beings to con-
gregate in. That such a building should
be safe beyond a peradventure of doubt
is too plain for diScuSSiOn-that it is not
safe may be inferred from the following
facts; The building swayS and trembleS
when any large numbers move about in
it: portions Of the wall have at different
times fallen out, owing to the inferior
quality of the mortar or improper con-
StructiOn: during the past week on the
approach of wind storm not of extra
ordinary violence. the principal hastily
dismissed the pupils from the building
although it was raining at the time, the
principal evidently not thinking it safe
for them to remain inside. 1t is said the
principal avoids as much as possible re-
naming in the building; the plaStering is
constantly falling from the ceiling and
walls, a circumstance probably caused by
the lack of tirmneSs and stability in the
walls.
Editors are pubic guardians.
Do you not think it is proper to call
public attention TO these facts?
Very respectfully.
ANNA SNITHSON.
