A Good Deed by Poets Son.

for hand made lace. 1t was founded
and endowed by Robert Barrett
Browning as memorial TO his father

the villages scattered about Florence

Memorial Most of it is very beauti-
full, for the workers are paid not for
the quantity but for the quality of
their lace. The rare and costly pieces
are eagerly bought by those who de !
light in such things, and can afford
them. e
One day poor woman more than
eighty years old came to the Browning
Memorial to sell her lace. Her hus-
band had beer drowned at sea-, her
sons mad been killed in war, and alone
in her old age she was struggling %

brought an elaborate piece of lace
upon which she had worked steadily
for three months, but ner eyes were

the lace was crude and uneven.

THE oLD-sTYLE VENTILATION.
New York's Board OF education Finds
Open Window Best

The Board of Education has found
different methods of ventilating class
rooms in use. and learned that only
/ one system vas satisfactory. The most
popular type is window ventilation
with the addition Of ilues The repor.
says that after obtaining evidence
from eminent medical authorities, tie
committee agrees with Professor G.
Z. A. Winsow that there is only one
principle of ventilation upon which
authorities are unanimous, namely
that a high temperature is detrimental
to mental vigor and to health. Tue
report continues:
Formerly it was thought that Il de-
fcisncy of oxygen and an excess Of
carbonic oxide gas in the air of crowd
ed rooms was the cause of discomfort.
headaches, lassitude and similar evils.
Next it was assumed that air which
had been breathed contained an or
ganic emanation of a poisonous ma :
ture which was called crowd poison.
Experiments made in England, in
Germany, and in America, have con-
WINGED many experts thai these as-
sumptions are all incorrect. At pres
ent physical conditions rather thin
the chemical constitution of the at
mosphere are held tn be of most inn
portance, although about this there
is not unanimity of opinion.
Eminent medical men, such as DrF
w. Gilman Thompson, professor nf
medicine in Cornell University; John
w. Brannan, chairman of the Board
of Trustees of Bellevue and Allied
Hospitals, and Walter B. James. pro-
fessor of medicine in the College OF
Physicians and Surgeons. Columbia
University. contend that the air which
in closed system of ventilation
passes over highly heated coils and
through ducts to enter the classroom
at 20 f. lacks freshness and has been
deprived of some quality necessary to
health. Precisely as sterilized milk.
though of the same chemical COM
position as fresh milk, will not pro-
perly nourish baby. so this cooked
air, they say, will not properly aerate
the blood. e,
II is an Impressive fact that In the
following hospitals in New York city
the closed system of ventilation is not
used though in some cases, at great
expense, it was installed: Bellevue
Hospital Presbyterian Hospital, POST
Graduate Hospital, Mount Sinai Hos
pital Gin parD and Polytechnic Hospital
These results have led many medical
men to conclude that tie nearer we
get in our schools to ourdoor condi .
tions the better it will be for the chill
dren.
The lack of fresh air for several
hours each day in the classroom is.
we believe a determining factor in the
development of tuberculosis, says the
eminent committee above referred to.
The report recommends that much
discretion be allowed principals and
teachers In the matter Of using the
windows as means of ventilatfng. -
The committee learned that in some
of tie class rooms in winter the tenn
peratufe was often as high as 80 de-
grees, "murderous temperature,' the
report ADDS, The windows We're not
used as ventilators
The report recommended that class
rooms be kept at temperature OF 90
to 6S degrees and that the windows be
opened at intervals.-N. Y. Sum-
