 During their tour of inspection of various school buildings yesterday. the members of the board of education paid visit to the Bank street school They looked over the heating system and were not much impressed with. It IS far from being up-to-date. 1t re- qu1res much work and attention from Janitor Herman and keeps him very busy. There is no doubt but that if should be replaced by a modern and up-to-date system. Incidentally Janf- tor Tiernan told the board that there was too much work for one man about the school and that the board should not have deprived him of the services of woman assistant There is con- siderable work for one man to tend to the furnaces, to take care of the lawn and to sweep and keep the sixteen rooms or more in the school in a clean and proper condition. Some members of the board agreed with him. Com missioner Chapman said that he had done all that was possible to have the board reconsider it's action of depriv- ing the janitors of several schools of the services of of their assistants. something in regard to this matter may be done at the meeting of the board of education tonight.
 This beautiful weather of early spring should remind the residents of Brooklyn that they should purchase some of the fine seeds which are for sale at A. 0. Walkers drug store. 756 Bank street. This is just the proper time to plant the seeds in your garden. The seeds which are sold at Walkers S are different from those purchased at other places. They were not left over from last year. but were bought of
 fresh stock this spring. Just give them trial. The price is very req, 1 Sonable.
