the furnace and the shafts results are
about as good as could be expected
under the circumstances but no go0d
can be realized from the same until
some effective way of ventilation is
put in operation AS it is now and
seems to have been several Of the
rooms are too hot one minute and too
cold the next This exists because
there is no way for fresh air to come
in or bad air to go out except through
the windows But even if the win
dows were properly regulated much
cf this would he overcome, one OF
the rooms where the Senior class
has occasion to go the last part Of
the afternoon is always at the right
temperature and fresh air Is abund
ANT. This is because the teacher in
charge tends to it properly and it only
goes to show what can be done under
tle circumstances. The Assembly
Ilall is just the opposite being some
times so hot that il is positively I'M
tearable and equally as cold at other
times Now although il doesn't seem
ight to lay the fault directly to the
