Ventilation of School Houses.


Uncle Adams Of Marlboro got in pretty
good one when he killed the senate bill for
yentilating country school houses accord
inc TO the scientific methods OF the state
hoard of health. Most of these school
houses, he said, were well ventilated now
which, if it refers to the free passage OF
cold air in and out during the winter time
is undoubtedly true. Mr., Adams further
allowed that if the state board OF health
didn't succeed in ventilating these schoo
houses any better than it had the state
capitol building, at an expense OF som'
S35, 900. the money better be saved.

Reduction of the rate on letter postage
has been frequently discussed by officials
in the postotiice department, but the time
has never seemed ripe for a change. And
it may not be ripe now, But the subject
Is being broaehed again, says an exchange,
and the postmaster general thinks the re-
duction may be made if magazines are
compelled'to pay higher price for send
ing their advertising through the mails
There is no move to increase the price for
carrying what is called pure reading mat
ter. Nor are newspapers to be disturbed
The advertising pages Of the magazines are
the only subjects of an increase. In 1919
the letter rate was fixed >at three cents
for each half ounce. In 1888 the rate was
reduced to two cents half ounce, and IN
1885 it was again reduced to two cents an
ounce. That was the last reduction tC
date. The reduced rate would be wei
coined by the people, but it ought not te
be made until the government can AFFORD
to do it. The postal deficit for the tisca
year ending June 30 last was under
$6,OOO,000 For the previous year it hao
been about ST., 100000. There is tend
ency to make both ends meet. When that
is accomplished it may be well to give the
country one-cent postage. The aim o.
the postal department is not SO much tt

Fatal hunting accidents in the one state
of Pennsylvania, with the season not yet
ended, already equal the number OF deaths
in football in all Az states of the country
this fall. and the serious cunning accidents
in Pennsylvania alone number nearly
twice as many as all the football accidents
in the United States.
This comparison OF sports that kill Is
obtained from a compilation OF all cunning
accidents reported in Pennsylvania TO To-
cal newspapers this fall and from sum
mary of football accidents which was wide
w published at the end of the grldlron
season. In view of the fact that football
deaths attract much the greater notice,
any gain which exact figures would show
NAV presumably be credited to the guns
toll. The fact is also to be remembered
that some deaths supposedly resulting
from football are often attributed to that
sport only in an indirect way, while gun
ming accidents seldom admit of such doubt
The record, as obtainable, Is:
Football in United States (l9lO)-
Deaths, 10; serious injuries, H.
Hunting in Pennsylvania (19lo)-
Deaths, 10; serious injuries, 81.
