DIRT FROM OPEN WINDOW
BETTER THAN CLOSE ROOM
DR.. Eager, in Public Health Report.
Advocates Indoor Freshness in
Home and School.

1T is better to be known in the
neighborhood as 'soiled- curtain people
and nave indoor freshness advertised
by lace streamers Tapping from yawn-
ing windows than to maintain noXious
indoor climate with curtains as white
as snow.
such is the statement made by
Surgeon j. NJ. Eager in a report just
issued by the United States public
health service on Indoor Tropics: the
Injurious Effect Of Overheated Dwell
ings. Schools. Etc"
With regard to the ventilation of the
schoolroom Dr. Eager states:
"a temperature higher than 20 in a
schO0IrOom is worse than illiteracy.
What sensible person would think of
sending children to the tropics for
their schooling: Many parents mad
vertently do so. Schoolrooms are often
kept at so degrees. and So is not un-
usual Long hours spent in such over
heated atmosphere render children un-
able to stand exposure to colds and
catarrhal affections
Personal preferences for hot rooms
especially the preferences Of chilly
teachers, should. in the general inter
est, be disregarded. Often teacher
with good sanitary sense and a con-
sclentious desire to rectify matters is
hampered by the fact that children ac-
customed 10 a home temperature of so
degrees or higher find a school tenn
perature OF 20 degrees uncomfortable
and are supported in their protests by
unWise parents. Windows must be
opened notwithstanding the protests OF
the salamander. To cause the shiver-
ers discomfort may seem selfish. but it
IS part or the larger selfishness"
