TO AVOID DELAY IN WORK.
Municipal Architect Wants to Begin
Repairs in Schools Promptly.

To avoid the delays which have for a
long time marked the beginning of re-
pairs and changes in school buildings
during the summer recess, the municipal
architect has recommended to the Dis
trict Commissioners in his annual report,
that he be allowed to pitch right in at
the start of vacation and get his school
work done by the time the children get
back to the classrooms in the fall. AL
though the classes are dismissed for the
summer about June 70, he says. the red
tape of the present system delays the be-
ginning of the repair work until about
July 20.
Future school buildings, according to
the report, will be designed so that sun
light reaches the classrooms at all hours
of the day. Attention also is called to
the fact that buildings now being planned
are, by direction OF the Engineer Com
missioner, designed with fiat roofs and
parapet walls, to afford opportunity for
Open-air classes.
Recommendations also are made that
ashes and rubbish be removed from the
schools every week, thus doing away with
the necessity for big bins for such &C
cumulatiOns, and that janitors should
give more assistance in the repair work.

When the entry list closed September
!. 173 entries had been received, and the
garden manager inspected the beauty
spots. A committee of the association
after an examination decided that seventy

inspection on which the prizes will be
awarded. The following committee will
decide the prize winners: Commissioner
Rudolph, William F. Guide. c. Fairchild.
Mrs. Charles Conner, Miss Susan Sipe and
p. II. Dorset.
Discussing the competition today, one
Of the officers of the association said:
Those who have entered their gardens
for competition had been actuated
more by a desire to encourage the work
of the association than by the posi-
bility Of gaining a prize, and those who
are unsuccessful in the latter respect
will have the satisfaction Of feeling they
have done their part by example to in
duce others to surround their homes with
something more beautiful than weeds and
rubbish.
Apart from the esthetic considerations.
the hygienic value to the whole commu-
nifty of clean yards, planted with living
and beautiful things, is incalculable. Hy-
g1enic, because it does away with breed
ing grounds for mosquitoes and disease:
also prolonging life and benefiting both
mind and body by the restful occupation
of gardening.
