GREENSBURG, Ind, Dec. 29-Dr. J. n.
Hurry, secretary of the State Board of
Health, was here some days ago and made
an examination of the sanitary condition
of the two school buildings. and condemned
the present system of heating by natural
gas radiators, and the state board has
since ordered that the school trustees, dur
ing the holiday recess, change the system of
heating and ventilating, and that system
of heating be put in that will heat the
air drawn in from the outside before it
passes into the schoolroom The trustees
take issue with the state board as to steam
heat being unhealthy, but are willing to
put in a system of heating. They expect
to conform to the ideas of the state board
as far as possible, but are unwilling to eX-
pend $1,000 or $4,000 or more to heat the two
buildings. The trustees have employed at
torneys, and propose to fight the arbitrary
orders of the state board.
