some FACTS concerning THE
YENT|[ATlNC SYSTEM IN THE
Central SCHOOL BUILDING
Two Members Of School Board Have
Been Anxious to install System in
Central School Where Conditions
Arc Very Bad. ...-

The Minot school board Will take
immediate action towards the install.
'ation OF ventilating system in tho
old Central school building. The
ooaTd has realized for a loug time
that such a system was needed, but
Tor various reasons, the majority of
the board concluded to postpone the
installation Of the system. For ona
thing, the Building is old and some OF
the members did not believe it good
policy to spend the necessary money
on the old building. inasmuch as a
proposition had been considered to
construct new cEe. Those who
have complained of the present condi
tion Of the Central school are per.
fec'!y right. The building should
nave been provided with a proper
ventilating system long ago, Or else
condemned.
Two members of the board, Dr.. A.
d. MCDANIEL and G., F. Truax have
long favored installing this system,
rs the records will show. At Mon.
day nights meeting, Architect Wood
ruff stated shat at the request of Mr..
TruaX more than a year and half
ago, ac drew plans and specifications
Tor sucn d ventilating system.
In tGSfiDO ventilation
method is to measure the amount ct
carbon dioxide in the air Of the
rooms. Carbon dioxide is not the
most dangerous constituent of the
air. but the quantity present is
good index Of the amount of other
and more dangerous impurities, most.
'y in the shape of animal matter. cir
cnlatirg in the air. The amount Of
carbon dioxide in the air OF q we'll
ventilated room should not exceed 5
parts in 10000. A room with less
than .. parts in 10000 is passable.
while parts or over in 10000 is Bad,
The ventilation III all the rooms of
Central school was tested on January
3lst, by DR.. A. J. MCDANIEL and Mr..
Parker of the public health lstora-
tory and in only three of the rooms
was the ventilation even rassable. In
all the others it was very bad. The
number of parts of Carbon Dioxide in
10000 parts Of air in each room was
as follows:-7.7; IT.; SO; 11.5;
11.5; 12; y; IL; Is and 16.
On the same date all the rooms in
Sunnyside school were tested In
this school there is a ventilatins sys-
tenn but on this date it was found al,
shut off so that conditions here were
almost as bad as in Central. In
these four rooms the amount of car.
bon d:oxide present was as follows:
8; 10; 11.5; and 1873, respectively.
On Feb. 9TH, four Of the rooms Of
Mckinley school were tested. Here
conditions were found entirely differ
ent. The ventilating system was in
full operation and the four rooms
tested showed that the ventilation
was practically perfect. The number
of parts Of carbon dioxide in the
rooms were as follows: 3.o; "a:
AS; and 81.

The Symbolic Key.

Art, music and poetry have in all
ages been considered the polite arts
but what is art without the proper
portrayal of the dress of the age that
ii seeks to represent? What is mu-
sic that does not bring inspiration
from the masters of the past who
were clothed in the power To give us
elimpses of men and ideals of whom
the only lasting impression can be
gained by the form our imaginations
give To Them And our imagiuations
elothe them in robes in which their
creators sent them cut on their err
rands of giving the world higher
ideals. Then what is poetry but
thousht clothed in words? No mat
ter from what side viewed. the figure
of speech of clothing is the symbolic
key that gives entrance to these high
er realms, and therefore why should
not clothes themselves touch the hem
of the garments Of the arts. with
which they are so closely in touch -
