REOPENING THE SCHOOLS.
REPORTS ON THE SANITARY con-
DITIoN OF THE BUILDINGS.
The Health Onicer Recommends That the
Threlkeld School BE Kept Closed
Three Other Buildings in Bad Condi-
tion-School Notes. .-~

Health Officer Hammett yesterday received
the reports of the various inspectors who had
been charged with investigating the sanitary
condition of the public school buildings In
the District. He carefully reviewed the re-
ports and late In the afternoon forwarded
them to the Commissioners with his recon-
mendations. From the reports it appears
that OF all the schools three are in such an
unsanitary condition that they need imme-
diate attention. The names of the buildings
could not be learned, as the communication
to the Commissioners was sealed and DR.. Ham
mett's memory was apparently on strike
yesterday. At least he averred that 1t refused
to recall the names of the three buildings. In
his letter to the Commissioners DIR. Hammett
recommended that the Threlkeld School, in
Georgetown, be closed for the present. This,
however, was not due to the condition Of the
building but to the fact that there are num-
ber of cases OF diptheria In the vicinity, and
DR.. Hammett believes that it would be dan
gerous for children to visit that neighborhood.
He also recommended that the janitors be
instructed to start the fires in the buildings at
once, SO that the chill may be taken from
them before the scholars entered. AS these
recommendations reached the District Build
ings after the Commissions rs had departed
for the day no action could be taken. 1t is
the intention of DR.. Hammett to select dis
infectant to be placed in the rooms of all
the schools to purify the atmosphere.
