Other parents had, he was informed,
been obliged to do the same in order 10
keep their children in good health. He
had visited the school and talked with
the janitOr, who explained the OdOr in
the building by saying it came from the

inspectors aud principals did
not attend to the matter it
was time the council took some action.
