SCHOOL BOARD UNABLE
TO REMEDY CONDITIONS

Little attention will probably be
paid by the board of education to
the health boards protest against
basement rooms In the city school
buildings. Members of the board
state that conditions are not as bad
as the doctors seem to believe,
and what should be remedied can
not be this winter ON account Of
lack Of funds. 1t Is denied that
basement ventilation is bad, but
admitted that the lighting arrange
ment Is defective in several of the
older buildings. In this respect the
Irving school is probably the worst.
The Mckinley basement is not
what 1t should be, but the board
had no expectation of installing
classes there this winter until COM
PEELED to in order to accommodate
pupils. There Is also some objec-
tion at the Emerson. 1t Is neces-
sary to use electric lights in a
number of the basement rooms. II
Is pointed out, however, that most
of the classes are primary grades
with short sessions and frequent
opportunity to air the easements.
At the Garfield the basement Is con-
sidered the most comfortable part
of the building.
The board Is also Indifferent to
the health boards recommends
tions that all the children be vac
cinated There Is believed to be no
justification for such drastic meas
ures against smallpox as compul-
sorry vaccination whether parents
believe In 1t or not. The health
board wants to vaccinate the chill
dren regardless of wishes of par
cnts, but the proposition has been
placed on Ale. The board of educa-
tion inclines to the belief that the
health board could find much
more needful field for its energies
In watching the downtown lodging
house districts for smallpox than in
rounding up the pupils of city
schools. among whom smallpox Is q
scarce article.
The chief concern OF the school
board now Is the erection of more
school buildings in order to place
city pupils beyond any possible
danger of over-crowding or poor
lighting. 1t is certain that new
building will be provided for the
school section this year, one that
will probably be modelled after the
Roosevelt school In Mantle park.
This at present comprises four
rooms and eight more can be add

ed, Such building can be put up
for about $4,000, and the board
would probably be able to build it
with warrants. Anything more eX-
tensive in the building line will re-
quire a bond issue. and the board
estimates the amount needed at
100000, which would bring the
total bond issues up to half mil

not likely to come up for months, as
the board believes better terms can

The letters set forth in the indict-

(see folio PAP of indictmenD that the

those records will also disclose the
methods by which the % per cent Of

who will take the title of western
