FOR BETTER VENTILATION
School Building, Crowded With Schol-
ars, With Little or No Fresh Air.
le Editor OF The Republican:

/ To the Editor of The Republican:
/ NV object in writing these lines is to
/ help toward better conditions and en-
/ jOyments of school life of the scholars
now crowded within the four walls of
the public school building in Oakland
| From sources that cannot be success
/ fully contributed learn that the venti-
lation of the various rooms in the build
! ing are nil. The same air is breathed
time and again by the pupils and no eff
fort has been made by the school author
ity to correct this evil which eventually
will breed diseases. the most insiduous
of which is the great white plague
consumption which, when once plant
ed in the system, becomes slow but sure
death.
! know whereof speak, when say
that the only ventilation afforded the
/ several rooms in the school building is
that of lowering the upper sash of the
windows in the various rooms which
creates draught over the unprotected
heads of the children. These draughts
are productive of colds which in some
instances drift into pneumonia, incurr-
ing,death. The untold suffering of the
/ patient as well as those whose heart
strings are interviewer with the sick
/ boy or girl is away beyond computation.
The conditions prevailing in the Oak
land school are disgrace to this TWEEN
/ tieth century civilization and should be
remedied, no matter what the oSt in
dollars and cents may be and If the
authorities having the educational well
fare of the public school children in
hand fail to do their duty in this as we'll
as in other respects they should be re-
moved from Office and others installed
who will do their duty to the rising gen
GRAFTON without hesitation.
Maryland is spending hundreds of
dollars every year in an effort to stamp
out consumption, yet her local officials
close their eyes to conditions which will
eventually, or may already have, plant
the seed of this dread disease in the
body of countless numbers of the public
school children of Oakland.
A change.in the conditions surround
ing our school children is demanded and
the writer feels that he has not over
stepped the bounds of civic duty in
making this demand. Will the School
Board act now. or will that b5dy pro-
crastinate as usual?

o. agent here, has succeeded to the edi-
tOrship of the Grafton Daily Sentinel.
by the retirement of Mr.. James w.
Holt, who served in the capacity of edi-
tor and owner of that paper for the
past thirty-seven years. Mr.. Rasche
received his early newspaper training
in The REPUBLICAN office, leaving its
employ several years ago, going from
here to Grafton where he made good. -
1t is rather peculiar coincidence that
of the three newspapers in Grafton all
are edited and owned by former Oakland
pc pie. The Sentinel being controlled
by Mr.. Rasche; the Daily Republican is
owned and edited by Messrs. G. A.
Bolden and d. Grant Smith, both of
whom were formerly employed in this
Office, Mr.. Bolden being a native of
Oakland, and the Leader, a weekly pa
per and the Democratic organ of Taylor
county, is owned by Mr.. James M. Litz-
niger, who is also its editor. Mr..
Litzinger was for many years editor of
the Mountain Democrat, having dispos-
ed of his property here several years
ago to the present proprietor, MIR.
Charles A. Definbaugh. Mr.. Rasche
has the best wishes of large number
of friends in Oakland for success in his
new position.
