Planned
ooMs TEN DEGREES BELOW

In temperature of 10 degrees be-
low the freezing point and with biz
zardy snowstorm sending sharp blasts
through the rooms from time to time,
two dozen children ranging from 6 to
Is years old went through the usual
school routine Thursday in the open
air department of the Minneapolis
schools at Bancroft school, Fourteenth
avenue S. and Thirty-eighth street.
And the children enjoyed it, and
seemed to make as much Roadway
with the lessons as those in the cozy,
steam-heated rooms. For they were
dressed for it. Great flannel "Eski-
mo" suits were provided for them and
from time to time they were marching
about the room keeping the circulation
right. They are children whose heri-
tage or environment make them poss-
ible subjects to tuberculosis, or whose
condition is so anemic that the school
physician recommended the air treat
ment.
All Leave Happy and Smiling
Some came bundled up to their small
chins. shaking and chilled to the mar
row. All left after day spent in the
air, glowing and vigorous.
Before an hour elapsed Miss Anna
Litowitz, their teacher, and Nurse Hill
degarde Ostrum were having their
troubles, however, for it took the little
ones some time to accustom themselves
to the novelty as well as to the tenn
perature. Before long, however, all
were smiling and happy.
No sooner had their street clothing
been replaced with the "open air cloth
ing" provided at the school than most
of the children began to feel the effect
of the fresh air, All relished the
large bowls of milk that were served
in the large, cool dining-room.
After breakfast there was recita-
ton in another cold room. The snow
blew in many open windows, but none
minded. Occasionally a small tot
would snuggle down into warm gray
hood, but the interest and novelty
never Jagged.
When temperatures of the children
were taken at 10 a. m. there was an

Rifle Hung on Wall
According to the mother the rifle had
been hanging on the wall for months.
She said she did not know it contained
bullets. Several shells found on the
floor of the bedroom after the accident
indicated the boy had discharged the
rifle two times before striking his
brother.
Was Playing War
When questioned by the police sur
geon little Mervin innocently prattled
that he was playing "war."

The baby was placed on the operat-

Mrs. Edward Christensen, the boys
aunt, living a half a block away, at
GIG Pascal street, found the wounded
baby lying on the bed after Mervin

to her door and told her that some

The three boys had been left alone
by their mother only ten minutes
before Mrs. Christensen, almost fran
tic with fright, ran to her brother-in-
laws home to find the baby softly cry
ing and blood streaming down on the
bed. The rifle lay on the floor near
the bed.
Call to Mother
She called to the mother, who was
not yet out of sight, and they called
for the police ambulance.
When Police Surgeon Schnacke ar

appreciable difference. The most ane-
mic showed a stronger pulse. Neither
was there signs of cold from the hour
spent in the cold.
All Get Hot Baths
Then for the first and last time dur
ing the school day the pupils were al
lowed to go into warm room. One
by one the small Eskimo" suits were
stripped off and hot baths were given
by the nurse.
A cold shower and back into the cold
room-the dining-room-for by this
time the children were clamoring for
food This time it was chocolate and
waters. The storm blew across the
very tables. But none paid attention.
And so it went with never whimp-
er nor complaint despite the super
abundance of cold air.
So invigorated were some by the
hours of exposure that when after din
ner at noon all retired to small open
air dormitory for an hours nap, there
was inclination to indulge in pillow
battle. Despite the efforts of the
watchful teacher and nurse there were
many peculiar gymnastics and Gales
themes.
"You would never imagine to look
at them" said Miss Litowitz, "that
these children are rated physically run
down. Many of them have tubercu-
lar tendencies, while others are exam
ined by DR.. Keene and are sent here
because they are anemic and lacking
in vigor."
Get Air Without Suffering
Miss Ostrum called attention to the
fact that were the same children at
home, improperly CARRIED, they would
shiver and shake in this kind Of wealth
er and be subject to colds and from
drafts through the house.
ct is simply case of clothing them
properly to withstand the cold and
dampness and then give them plenty
of fresh air."
The open-air department occupies
two large rooms on the second floor of
the school and in each five enormous
windows are kept wide open all the
time. The children are sent to the
school after a medical examination by
DIR. C. H. Keene, superintendent Of
hygiene in the schools.
The children are from different
grades and for that reason many are
given the opportunity to make indiv-
idual recitations to the teacher that all
may keep within their respective
grades.
Two More Schools Planned
After time examinations are made
and those who show sufficient improve
ment are transferred to their former
classes in other schools. The school
will be maintained throughout the win
ter and the children will undergo the
same schedule with the measure for
insuring open air conditions in the
coolest weather. AS the weather be-
comes colder the clothing allotted will
be warmer. The board of education
plans establishing two more schools OF
the same kind this winter.
