any provision for escape except the

a fire occur in the main hail all escape

The buildings then are taken up in
detail and their various insufficiencies
pointed out Although the percentage
OF rented buildings was larger at that
time than now, the report carries unusu-
al significance. In the view OF similar
Investigations being made al the present
time. when it says:
The following points are worthy Of
serious consideration:
The general Uusuitableness Of the
buildings for the purpose
The unsystematic graduation Of ren,s.
THE almost total disregard to facili-
ties for ventilation
The utter neglect to provide for es-
cape in case OF fire.
Recalls Old Agitation.
Mr. Gregory recalls the agitation Of
1852 as being quite as feverish as that
nov in progress. the results accomplish
ed being entirely out OF keeping with
the great needs at that time. The
Board Of Education has recalled that
another agitation occurred in 1894. fol-
lowing the IrOquois fire. when many Of
the buildings were condemned IN I'M
measured terms by Superintendent Stu
art
Nevertheless. the furores Of twenty-six
and four years ago have been Of very
little actual benefit TO local school con-
ditiOns, as a resume Of the 1882 report
show practically the same objections
existing a quarter Of a century ago as
now.
