Sanitation in the School House.

With the opening of the public
schools this month, it 10 well to call at
tention of boards of education and
directors to the sanitary environments
of the building in which the children
are housed, It is regretable fact
that the vast majority of school houses
throughout the state especially in
country districts are in nowise equipped
with ventilating devices and it is we'll
known that vast deal of sickness
among children of school age is due to
the lack of fresh air, in the schools
room. The average amount of fresh
air required each hour should be 1900
cubic feet for each child. In cold
weather, it will therefore appear that
without adequate ventilating facilities,
the child must suffer for want of fresh
air. 1t is also apparent that children
denied an abundance of pure air will
soon show signs of inattentiOn and list
lcssness as result of 81 wv poisoning.
This process carried on day after day
can have but one sequence that ia, to
depress the child's body, thus render
ing it susceptible to disease particular
ly coughs and colds Many children
who fail to make progress in their
studies are the victims Of foul air in
the school room and it is important
that school boards shall examine into
the methods of ventilating the school
house, SO as to protect their children.
Moreover, it is imperative that the
heating of the school house should in
sure comfort and yet not require that
fresh air in abundance be shut out OF
the house, ard l want to urge that
school boards throughout the state
interest themselves in the proper SAM
tation, heating and ventilation of
school houses.
There should be installed the SAM
tary water container which is an
earthen jar with cover and u spigot
attached at the bottom, 1t is inexpen-
sive, prevents dust from accommodating
on the water and excludes bacteria Of
many kinds from communicating the
water. The child should be provided
with his own individual cup, carrying
the same in his lunch basket, thus pro-
tecting him against infectious and con-
tagious diseases very generally trans
mitted by the common drinking cup.
The proper sanitation of the toilets
in connection with the school shoulc be
observed so that everything possible
be done to protect the health and
morals of children. That large NUM-
Der of boys and girls graduate from
our schools, suffering. with pulmonary
disorders, particularly tuberculosis,
makes this warning of the utmost i'm

to the money and he remarked in that
good natured manner so characteristic
of him that he never could take care

Mrs. Carnegie and turned every penny
over to her, remarking as he did so,

At crucial moment when several

golf The gravity of the situation was
forgotten Immediately, and the IRON
master talked about the various phases
Of his most fascinating game until
his auditors were almost frantic.
When he had concluded all he had
TO say on golf he again took up the
business matter where he had left OFF.
After that experience his associates,
when wishing to consult with Mr..
Carnegie about the steel business, took
care that no allusion was ever made
TO golf.
Rarely does the millionaire phil
anthropist look into details connected
with his personal life. Once he invited
several friends to accompany him on

at the last moment II was discovered
that no one had made privision for
defraying the expenses of the trip. Mr..
Carnegie had entirely forgotten about
that and did not give IL a thought

would take charge of that end. With
his gray eyes dancing, the little
Scotchman looked at his inQuisitor,

FOR GAMBLERS

The Amalgamated and Dishonorable
Alliance of Crap Shooters are finding
the grass rather short these days as
far as Honolulu Is concerned and It is
stated on good authority that the tin

In the country districts.
II is reported that in raid made
upon gambling game down at Aiea
last night, by officers stationed on
the plantation with the assistance
of county police, ten men had
been hopelessly ensnared in the drag
net. More than one familiar Homo
lulu face was noted in the delegation

The claim is made that of late II

plantations.

Personal Side Of Great onmaster Revealed BY One of His
Intimate Friends.

~ think | have passed the test of a
happy man when | can tell jokes even
at the breakfast table, remarked
Andrew Carnegie to iefriend once,
This statement, coming as 1t does
from the greatest philanthropist in the
world, gives a good idea Of one Of the
personal sides of the noted iron
master.
Little of the private life of MIR. Car
negie has been published, but q few
anecdotes concerning him told by an
intimate friend will throw some light
on the real nature OF Andrew Car
negie, the man
a friend once asked him which
gave him more pleasure, making
money or giving 1t away. lie replied
without Il moments hesitation that
the latter made him the happier.
Persons are often heard to remark,
when accounts are published of Mr..
Carnegie's having given some city
million dollars for the erection of a
library. that they would not like to
be as wealthey as the philanthrOpist,
because such a fortune causes the pos
SCISSOR too much anxiety. If they knew
that he worries less than any other
man In the world about monetary
matters. business enterprises or the
hundred and one other things that
weigh upon the average man, they
would readily consent to being called
millionnaires. Mr. Carnegie has not
the least care for money.

is interested in yachting. lie is a

unusual to see the iron master and
his daughter going for stroll in
Central Park or making the rounds
