Closets at the Court street School in
Fearful Condition.

| Fearful Condition. .
That diphtheria and scarlet fever
have developed in the schools of The
| Dalles is no wonder when the coudi-
tions that exist on the Court street
school grounds are brought to light.
| Today Times Nountainerr reporter
| was invited to Investigate the sur
roundipgs of that school, and from
what he saw. it was a wonder to him
chat there was well pupil iu the
school.
His attention was called to the
water closets ou the premises, and GER
tainly no more filthy or repulsive place
could be found. The closet south of
the building is in 4 more filthy con-
dition than 4 pig pen, and the odors
emitting therefron are difficult to de-,
scribe. Tney are simply dreadful :
With. such conditions existing it is
little wonder that one of the pupils
who attends school in that building is
afflicted with diphLheria; the wonder
school.
The attention of Marshal Lauer was
called to the condition of tha closets,
and he at once served notice on the |
Loard of directors to have the closets |
cleaned Immediately, and also to put in |
patent closets and connect them with |
the sewer on Union street. This |
action is certainly most necessary, for /
it is endangering the lives of school
to compel them to frequent
such places as the closets on the Court
street school premises, and it is to be
hoped the school board will at once
see to it that better sanitary appliances
ire introduced. And while they are
they should put in patent
closets also at the Academy Park
chool and the East End school.
