Test Schools Like Diaries"
BY
DIR. GUY MONTROSE WHIPPLE,
of Cornell University.

To dignity school hygiene il
must be presented to students as
systematized branch of science.
One way of accomplishing this is
to make use of certain instru-
ments of precision for demonstra-
,tion and experiments. These
same instruments l should urge
still more for their obvious value
in prosecuting original investiga-
.tion. 1t is entirely possible for
well-trained students in normal
schools and colleges to make con-
tributions of value in school n.y.
giene and sanitation.
Frequent attempts have been
made to measure the vitiation of
schoolroom air. But in the
course of investigation of a GER
tain grammar school building the
student working under my direc-
ton found that all these simpli-
fled methods are inaccurate;
whereas, by the use of a certain
for the exact determi-
nation of arbon dioxid, we were
able to unearth faults in the VEN
system, and to suggest
several improvements. Previous
to this children and instructors
for many years had worked in air
known technically as bad or
very bad, thus inviting tubercu-
losis, nervous disorders and other
forms of i'll health, uniting them
for parenthood.
