EASEMENTS AS SCHOOL ROOMS.

EASEMENTS AS SCHOOL ROOMS.
Two subjects connected with the public
schools were discussed by the Northeast
Washington Citizens Association, at its
last meeting that deserve more than passing
attention. One was the frequent change
OF school books, a subject which has been
more or less severely commented upon for
many years; the other was a protest against
the use Of certain basement rooms as school
rooms.
No protest framed against such use could
be made too strong. Every consideration
OF health is against Easements for school
room purposes. 1t is a crying wrong
against both teachers and children, but
more especially against the latter. 1t
means discomfort sickness and the stunting
or peryersion OF physical development for
them
One OF the most important points to be
considered in the arrangement of q school
room is that the light shall be ample and
come from the right direction. Those that
have charge OF the schools must not do
anything that will injure more or less
permanently and more or less seriously
the sight OF the pupils Yet it is no exag-
geration to say that there are thousands
OF people who suffer from defective vision
in one form or another simply because
4he schoolrooms in which they were taught
were insurficiently or improperly lighted.
The light In the schoolroom should not
be too strong, but -aboYe al things not
lacking in fullness. 1t should not fail di-
Fectly into the the pupils' eyes to blind
them, nor yet CONC from The right SO as

to throw n shadow upon book or slate.
The light that Genes from the left side is
the best.
Bat neither the air nor the light that
can be secured in a basoment-room is fit
for school purposes.

FIRE E,c.pEs on HOTELS.

So far as can be CLEANED from the opinion
rendered by District Attorney Thomas the
power and authority of the Commissioners
IN the matter of the construction OF fire es-
capes appears to be very much mixed. One
thing is very clear, however, and that is
that the laws on the subject are not suf-
fcientIy drastic TO make it possible for
the Commissioners to corrpel the erection
OF these safeguards.
Whatever may be anybody's view of
the present statutes, their efficacy or lack
Of vitality is OF very little consequence,
The startling fact remains that a vast
amount Of red tape has to be unrolled to do
something, or attempt to do something,
while a Lotel may burn up and many lives
perish.
There must be a means provided to COM
pei owncrs OF hotel buildings and Others
used by the public to put up fire escapes for
the protection OF inmates. They ought TO
be humane enough TO do il without com
pulsion. but if they are not there ought to
be law sufficiently strong to force them.
