GOOD ROADS AS HELP
TO SCHOOL WORK.
Prof. Spaid Says Benefits of ConsoIida-
ton Are Impossible While Highways
Are Bad.
SUGGESTS BETTER VENTILATION.

Consolidation of rural schools was the
subject discussed in a special report given
by Prof. A. r. Spaid, superintendent Of
New Castle county schools. to a meeting
of the County School Commissioners. In
the report, the text of which follows,
Prof. Spaid emphasized the fact that good
reads are necessary TO make consolidation
possible, and in his suggested plan. the
groupings are given with the thought of
road conditions in mind auto trucks
are advocated by Prof. Spaid for trans
porting the children, as 40 children could
be taken in one truck, while one wagon
could not take them all at one time
In second report Prof Spaid states
that there is great need of immediate i'm
provements in many school districts; that
few districts have made any effort TO i'm
prove the sanitary conditions, but that
the rules and regulations adopted by the
Commission and the State Board of Health
have been largely ignored in regard to
sanitary matters. One regulation, he says,
has been generally adopted, that Of the
water cooler and individual drinking cup.
Iae superintendent recommends that the
Commission take steps to enforce the
rules, as the health of the children is en-
dangered by the carelessDess in this re-
gard. The superintendent advises walks
of.cement, crushed stone or board, in the
school grounds to the outhouses, wells
and pubic roads, and urges improvements /
IN clubhouse construction.
Many schools need new furniture, such |
as desks, slate black boards, and book |
cases, and advises that all new desks be
single and at least one-fOurth OF them |
Should be adjustable. No cheap furniture
SHOULD go into a schOOlroOm, he says.
Tie superintendent considers the heating
and ventilatioH OF rural schools a serious
proposition He says the ceilings are far
below the standard in the great majority
of school buildings; that the windows do
not extend to within six inches of the
ceiling as they should, hence when the
window is lowered the cold air blows on
the heads of the children and causes much
Catarrh, colds and sore throat. The pres.
ent system of heating the school room,
he'cOntinues, should be changed to pre-
vent these dangerous drafts of air. The
Waterbury System now in use in No. 3 {
building. New Castle, gives satisfaction. s
This heater is placed in a corner of the /
school room, draws fresh air from the out
side and forces the impure air out. The
windows need not be opened at all unless l
the room becomes very warm. The super |
intendent says this arrangement saves
ho9r space, does not roast the chi dren I
like the over-heated stove in the middle
Of the floor, and gives such satisfaction /
that he hopes the old stoves will at once ]
disappear.
