CARE OF SCHOOL HOUSED
Many Are Lacking in Ventilation
and Sanitation.

If the school authorities throughout
Iowa will do everything in their pow
er to provide adequate ventilation
and proper sanitation greater per-
centage of pupils will make progress
in studies, is the inference of a state
ment issued by DIR. A. E. Kepford,
state tuberculosis lecturer.
DR.. Kepford points out that the
majority of country school houses are
not equipped with ventilating devices.
He points out that the lack of fresh
air results in slow poisoning.
Few Schools Well Equipped.
His statement follows:
with the opening of the public
schools this month, it is we'll to call
attention of boards of education and
directors to the sanitary environ
ments of the building in which the
children are housed. 1t is a regret
table fact that the vast majority of
school houses throughout the state,
especially in country districts, are in
no wise equipped with ventilating de-
vices and it is well known that a
vast deal of sickness among children
of school age is due to a lack of fresh
air in the school room. The average
amount of fresh air required each
hour should be 1000 cubic feet for
each child. In the cold weather, it
will therefore appear that without
adequate ventilating facilities, the
shild 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
|listlessneSs as a result of slow poison
ing. This process carried on day aft
er day can have but one sequence;
that is, to depres5 the child's body,
thus rendering it susceptible to di-
sease, particularly coughs and colds.
Many children who fail to make pro
gress 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 ventil-
ating the school house so as to pro-
test their children.
Moreover, it is imperative that
the heating of the school house should
insure comfort and yet not require
that fresh air in abundance be shut
out of the house, and | want to urge
that school boards throughout the
state interest themselves in the
proper sanitation, heating and ventila
ton of school houses.
System inexpensive.
There should be installed the SAM
tary water container, which is an
earthen jar with cover and spigot
attached at the bottom. 1t is mex.
pensive, prevents dust from accumu-
lating on the water and excludes
bacteria of many kinds from contain.
mating the water. The child should
be provided with his own individual
cup carrying the same in his lunch
basket, thus protecting him against
infectious and contagious diseases
very generally transmitted by the
common drinking cup.
The proper sanitation of the toilets
in connection with the school should
be observed so that everything pos
sible be done to protect the health
and morals of children. That large
number of boys and girls graduate
from our schools, suffering with pull
monary disorders, particularly con-
sumption, makes this warning of the
utmost importance to the thousands
of boys and girls compelled to attend
the public schools"
