one cannot always get that.
Fresh manure from the stable

eat manure as some think.
They do not absorb it until it
has been transformed into n

we harrow and cultivate SO per-

with earth thereby causing it to

Discussing the matter of the proper
method Of building public schools, a
well known educator said yesterday he
believed all school buildings should be
but one story In height and that, In
stead Of erecting large buildings, the
school board should aim to erect small
er structures, but more OF them, and at
locations easily accessible for school
children. He pointed out that the
health Of children In the second and
third story rooms is menaced by the
foul air from the lower rooms. While
the idea OF one story school buildings 10

ed. Smaller buildings would minimize
the danger Of contagion, which can not

dred children are gathered together al
most every day In the week. Smaller
school buildings would mean more
structures. and pupils would be re-
quired to travel less in going TO and
from school-an important considera-
ton. Dire consequences follow the
marching Of children up and down
stairs, and there are scores Of adyant-
ages in small buildings, whereas few,
liz any, can be advanced in favor Of
large structures.
