SUMMARY OF THE RESULTS
HEALTH INSPECTORS REPORT

A system Of "fresh-airs schools for
feeble, convalescent, anaemic and per-
haps tubercular children will probably
be established in the near future, posi-
bly, during the next scholastic year, the
result of success in experimental outdoor
school conducted during the past winter
by the local school officials.
For the past four months a fresh-air
school has been conducted at the Blake
School building, North Capitol street be-
tween K and L streets. under the public
school system. The children thus in
structed, according to an official report
received by Supt A. T. Stuart, have
grown much more, both physically and
mentally. than children in q protected
school. with which they have been COM
pared from time to time.
The fresh-air school is in reality only q
single room in the building, which, by
keeping the windows wide open at all
times. has been supplied with fresh air.
Although the same experiment has been
tried successfully in several Of the large
cities both In this country and abroad, it
was only after a long discussion that the
local officials decided to try it.

Main Obstacle Overcome.

The main obstacle which had to be sur
mounted was the securing OF funds to run
it. This difficulty was overcome by the
local Association for the Prevention OF
tuberculosis, which was especially in
terested in having the fresh-air school
established. offering to pay practically all
the expenses incurred.
Miss Sue II. Gardner, a teacher, VINO
was also q strong advocate of the fresh
air method, volunteered her services. The
school authorities finally decided the plan
might be tried in the one room. The
class was taken as it was-a typical
fourth grade class-and. with the eXcep-
ton of six Withdrawals, remained dur
ing the course Of the experiment prac-
tically the same in numbers as at the
start No tubercular children, or chill
dren having any symptoms of the disease,
were allowed to be transferred to the
school, the primary object of the test
being to see the effect that the fresh
air plan would have on normal children
including not only their physical condi-
ton, but their mental condition as Well
For the sake of comparison, children
of the same grade, and under the same
conditions practically, except that they
were in the ordinary schoolroom. were
examined at the same times that the
fresh-air children were.
The physical results may be best judged
from a summary Of the reports made
by the health inspector examining the
children.

Approximate Expense Per Pupil

The expense to outfit a pupil was ap-
proximated at s. for blankets and
cooking utensils. while the cost Of food
per pupil was two cents per day. From
these figures it is thought that with the
help of parents the fresh-air schools
might be conducted successfully through
out the city. although the school authori-
ties do not at present contemplate any
thing so extensive.
Superintendent of Schools A. T. Stuart
said today that the probable result in
the near future would be the establish
ment OF such schools about the city for
feeble, anaemic, or perhaps tubercular
children.

Such children, in addition to their reg

should go to the homes Of the children

would perhaps better be organized In q

Results Summarized.

It is as follows:
I. Since the first examination, Novem-
Der 16. the average gain in weight IN
the fresh-air school was SIT pounds per
pupil, while the pupils in the typical
school gained 2.3O pounds.
2. The average gain In height since
the first examination in the fresh air
school was II of an inch. and In the
other room SO of an inch.
8. The number of days lost from Illness
in the fresh-air room since the first ex-
animation was sixty, while the other
room, with only ten more enrolment, lost
161 days. The average loss per pupii
in the fresh-air room was 40 days; 1or
the typical room, 40 days.
The mental gain was also notable ac-
cording to tests made and the opinion
of the teacher in charge.

tory account OF themselves as com
pared with children of other schools.
The department Of the children was
also satisfactory. although they are

ROOM" 1t Is said.
The children in the room, according
to those making the experiment., have
imbfbed q spirit making them feel a
personal care for their health, and in
many matters, such as keeping theil
teeth clean, have been found to be
more careful than many children In
other rooms.
The temperature of the room was
kept the same as the outside air at all
times. except when the outside tenn
perature fell below IS or so degrees.
Each Of the children was provided with
a bright colorad blanket, which he
wrapped about himself when he be-

low enough to be In the slightest de-

At the morning recess the children
were given hot cocoa or milk, usually

allowed to contribute 1, 2 or cents wher
they were able to do SO, to help to pay
for the food.

 A stewardess and two deck stewards were reasonably certain that a young women who occupied a state room was Miss Arnold, but the purser and chief steward were positive that the missing girl was not aboard the ship.

VOTE WILL COME TODAY
Three Jefferson County Representa- lives Oppose Measure on Floor. Rerenue Bill Will Be ,Fea-
 ture for Today
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery February 7.-(Special)- Representative Percy of Jefferson barred his arm. this afternoon in the house and f1ayed alive the iniqutous fee system.
 The debate was on the passage of the bill of Representative Motion preventing sheriffs from making arrests for misde- means unless armed with warrants. Rep resentative Judge of Jefferson offered an amendment excepting constables from tho provisions of the blll but the amendment was lost by a decisive vote. The house adjourned and the vote on the passage of the Motion bill will occur in the morn ing.
 The bill was defended by Mir Notion and MT. Percy and attacked by Repre- sentatives Judge, O'Neill and Mcdonald of Jefferson, Martin of Jackson and Laven- der of Bibb Representative Pegram of Marengo spoke in favor of the bill.
 Percy Does Not SIince Words
 MT. Percy in his speech talked with out mincing terms. He told of innumer- able instances where arrests were made in Jefferson county under Sheriff Higdon, which he termed "atrocious' and crimes perpetrated simply for the fee involved. He told of the arrest of women of the world, of their being jailed by the sheriff for the express purpose Of getting the fee, and of their subsequent dismissal by the solicitor He scathingly assailed. too, the amendment of MT. Judge, re- ferred to above.
 Mir. Lavender of Bbb attacked the bill, declaring that if the sheriffs could not make arrests without warrants 1t would result in depredations by negroes In the rural communities. The debate was warm throughout, and large gallery followed the discussion with great interest. Sheriff MeAdory is on the scene, watching the fight.

One provision of the bill, it is said, is the exemption from taxa tion of only $500 worth of personal prop erty, and the authorization of tax com missions to examine insurance records for the purpose of securing a basis on which to work towards arriving at true values. Unrecorded mortgages will be cared for In the bill by stringent pro- visions.
 In a nutshell, the bill, if advance in- formation Is correct, intends to impose on the people of the state a most strin- gent system of taxation. AS result the states revenue will be increased about s5Oo. .0oo The details of the bill are care fully guarded, though in adition to the above 1t is said that warm reference will be made to coca-cola dealers ana manufacturers.
