SCHOOL SANITATION.
False Economy to Try to Save Money
In This Important Matter.

False Economy to Try to Save Money
In This Important Matter.
Omaha has recently experienced con.
siderable sickness in one or more of its
public schools as result Of putting in
operation system of sanitation that
had little to recommend save reduced
first cost. The Omaha World Herald in
referring to the matter says:
The trouble experienced with the dry
closets at the Lothrop school is the legi-
innate result of experimenting with
newfangled systems of ventilation and
drainage that promised a temporary
saving of expense. The dry closet system
promised saving in first cost, and this
was the main reason why it was intro
duced. 1t was never maintained that it
was cheaper to operate it, or If 1t was
claimed any one who took the trouble
to investigate it thoroughly would have
been convinced that the claim was not
well founded.
The sickness among the pupils attend
ing the Lothrop school is directly trace
able to the dry closet system in use
there. The furnaces will not cremate
the offal unless heated to high degree,
and when this is done the stencil in
creases. The result is that the poisonous
gases permeate the building, and while
they may not be detected at once sooner
or later they make their presence felt
and the pupils begin to suffer in health.
The gas generated by these dry closets
is highly injurious, and as yet no way
of preventing its generation has been
discovered.
The health of the children is to be
considered before questions of economy,
and the board of education should act
at once in the Lothrop school matter.
The dry closet system has proved a fail
ure, and the question now to be oonsid-
cred is how to best care for the health
of the pupils attending the Lothrop
school. There is no question about il
being an imperative duty to do away
with the present system Of dry closets.
They are death traps The school board
should act without delay, leaving the
| question Of finance to be considered aft
er the health Of the school children has
been cared for.

Henry Aldrich met with serious &c.
cident last Monday morning, almost in
front of his own house. He was at work
digging up the road on Cross street, for
the purpose of putting in the new drain,
when the earth caved in on him. He was
released as soon as possible and cxami-
nation of his injuries revealed both legs
broken, one leg in two places. He is ut-
der the care of DR.. Ellie, aud by his advice
has gone to the hospital at Montreal.
Henry seems to be in hard luck. He met
with an accident several weeks since
which incapacitated him for work for
some time, from the effects of which he
had barely recovered. only to meet with
this more serious injury. Very general
sy mpathy is felt for him and his family in
this misfortune. Patsy Okeeffe was
also injured at the same time, but not
sufficiently to keep him from his work
but few hours.
