Education Board Will Be Asked

Are the public school children of New

are stuffed with geography? Are they filled
with algebra and deprived of ozone? Must
these children, whom generous Board of
Education provides with real flowers for
nature study. breathe, while studying, a

1t appears scat least Mrs. Stephen s
Wise. wife OF Rabbi Wise, OF the Free Syn
agogue, who has made a thorough inves-
t!gation Of thirty-three public school build
ings says that is what the ventllating sys-
TENS used in these schools amount to.
1t wasn't long ago that Mrs. Wise stirred
the members OF the American Society Of
Heating and Ventilating Engineers at their
annual meeting by telling them that their
contrivances for improving the air in the
public schools We're simply no good at all /:
that they had made matters worse in fact
Some Of the engineers said the next day
that Mrs. Wise was unfair. but the teach
ers don't think so. to Judge from the
shoals of letters they are writing her, with
bitter complaints Of their sufferings from
stuffy schoolrooms. and the bad effect on
the children's work.
II do hope" Mrs. Wise told a Tribune
reporter, as she brought out a sheaf OF
these letters. II do hope that the Board
Of Education will take up this matter OF
giving proper ventilation to the teachers
and children of the public schools, and
that they will take it up soon. The arti-
