IA citizen: In reading various arti
cles in your paper in the last two copie'
find some discussions therein relativ,
to Our city school doors, etc. 1t strikes
me somewhat ridiculous to see the re-
port made by. the architect on schoo
house doors, after his examination o.
our city schools. He states that he j:
somewhat in doubt as to what the Law
intends to mean, as it appears to him,
no wonder I always found that in my
dealings in this world, if want law in
terpreted, I had to 60 to the man that
deals in law. However, in this case
the architect goes on to state to the
public his opinion, and as he sees it, il
is safer in case of panic to have the
school room doors open into the rooms,
etc, I cannot agree with the architect
with his opinion in a case of a fire
panic, but it may be that he means in
case of a panic that the teacher may
have with the school children that in
case it would be easier for the teacher
to control the doors in case any of the
children should want to leave the
rooms.
I would request the school board to
20 to the attorney generals office for the
Interpretation of our school laws in
order to find out whether they our
schools comply according to our laws,
and let the attorney general in public
give his opinion as to what our school
laws mean, and have it published in
your paper, and in case the board find
it necessary to make any changes in
order to comply with our state laws,
then is the proper time to send an archi-
tect to plan the necessary changes if
any needed, and let him then give us
in public his report as to the changes
necessary in order to comply with our
state laws, and to such changes if need
ed we as taxpayers are all entitled to
same. We have children going to this
school and are paying taxes, and have
board to see that the schools are run
and in every way comply with the laws.
think Our laws as they were made on
the school protection are absolutely
plain, and cannot see how any one can
fail to understand them. wish the
editor would also publish the penalty
that can be applied to the school board
in case they do not comply with our
state laws.

she nearly disgraced herself from the

playing was anything but brilliant,
