OUR SCHOOLS ANB VENTILATION.

TN the past there has been much complaint in this
city relative to defective ventilation in our pub
lie schools. Conditions in the High School building
have attracted special attention and adverse COM
ment
As the season for closed windows and doors in the
school buildings is here, it seems to US that this
question OF ventilation that should receive in
tegent consideration by the Board Of. Education
We desire cali TO the attention of the members OF
that board the fact that Prot H. Woodbridge of the
Boston Institute Of Technology has found from certain
collected records that death rate by the ntroduc-
tion OF proper venating systems, has been reduced
in childrens hospitals from so per cent to 10 per
cent; in surgical wards Of general hospitals, from
"A 10 IA per cent in army hospitals from 23 per
cent to per cent. and in prisons from so to per
cent.
Statistics compiled by la7ge industrial insurance
company show the effects Of poor ventilation in rae
tories engaged in dust-producng trades. Out Of 100
button makers dying it found that 3S per cent
died of tuberculosis grain handlers. 2S per cent;
miIers 1876 per cent; bakers 2O.4 per cent confec-
toners 222 per cent? tobacco workers, 3SS per cont;
tanners and curriers'. 1876 per cent; harness makers
l75 per cent; glove workers 1875 per cent; shoe
makers 1872 per cent; other leather workers. 32l
per cent The introduction Of adequate vontilating
systems would no doubt largely reduce these figures
Tho records of the Pension Bureau said to show
that when the department housed in small and
poory-ventilatcd buildings there was an aggregate
loss Of time by clerks of 1886 days annually on ac-
count Of illness When the department moved into
new buildings this loss from illness Immediately
dropped TO 1Ol14 days. reduction Of As per cent
While those facts and figures do not refer spoc-
fcaily to the beneficial effect of intelligent ventilation
of public schools It will call for special stress
upon the intelligence of the members of the local
board to apply them to public schools
Vontlating standards should be established, and
the ianitors should be compelled TO live up to them
in all respects or give way TO others who will do so.
Matters of temperature the quantity Of pure air to
be supplied each pupil and teacher per minute or
hour and other matters like that should not be left
10 the caprice and discretion of ianitors but should
be regulated by some who realizes the health
producing and c-sayng value of scientific yentila-
ton. and who also knows how to supply IT,
II would be a crime against the schoogoing child
hood of our city to leave such important matter to
the discretion OF janitors who however well disposed
they may be. ignorant of the broad principles OF
sanitary engineering. They must have their ventila-
tion standards set for them and also be impressed
with the imperative necessity for living up to them

The Increased Passenger Rates
lFrom De PhiIadelptIa Inquirerl.

Naturally, the proposed increase in
passenger rates is arousing amino
sity and the public utilities commits
siOns of the States involved are likely
TO have their hands full for some
time to come. Just what can be done
about IL remains to be seen. for il
must be remembered that the rail-
roads are acting under the advice of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Il is this body of men, assuming to
POSSESS all knowledge, that is pri-
marily at fault
The railroads have been hard hit
Of late. What with government raids
upon corporations, the unsettlement
OF business because OF the uncertain
~ as TO what the administration
would do next and the menace to in
dustry contained in the laundering
and disastrous near-free trade bill.
fhe railroads have faced rather des-
porate situations Add to this tile
burdensome restrictions placed upon
them by Lcgislatures-suc as the
unnecessary and expensive full
crew" laws-and their cup Of bitter
ness has been filled to overfowing.
One thing after another has reduced
The earning capacity of the roads.
Their expenses have increased. high
er wages have been paid. and to
meet this evergrowing outlay there
has been no increase in receipts. In

horse power engine, equipped with
smooth bands and hauling an outfit
weighing four and one-half tons. from
Cumberland to Frederick City. part Of
the distance being over some of the
stecpcst grades in the State. In the
light Of this experiment, the State
Roads Commission claims that there
is no excuse for the tractors not be-
ing equipped with the smooth bands,
and there seems great justification
for the claim.
The weakness in the argument of
the Commission, to our thinking. is
in their further contention that trac-
tors. not so equipped. are extremely
destructive to the State roads. That
is purely a matter Of observation, OF
reliable evidence. and our experience
is against the contention of the State
Roads Commission. We thoroughly
agree that these highly expensive
roads ought not TO be wantonly or
unnecessarily injured and that any
one so iniuring them should be pun
ished. But the weight Of testimony
is against the contention that all en-
ginos with exposed cleats do .injur'
the roads.

deed, income has been falling off.
All would have been well-or at
least everything would have been
much better-had the Interstate Com
meroe Commission taken hold OF the
situation IN a practical manner II
was asked to allow a five per cent.
increase in freight rates The pub
lie would not have been injured had
il done so and the railroads would
have been saved But it refused;
thought that there could be econo-
mics and suggested that something
substantial might be obtained by
charging higher rates in the passen-
ger service. The suggestion has
been adopted, hence the outcry.
I'nquestionably this is q serious
matter TO dwellers along the lines OF
the railroads who are daily patrons.
OF course they are indignant and are
seeking restoration of old rates
and privileges But perhaps they
would make more progress II they
could induce the Interstate Com
morce Commission to listen to reason
and act like rational men. de-
mand to that effect upon that body
Is certainly in order. For the rail-
roads have got to live and pay diyi-
donds. and the most sensible way 70
keep them out of bankruptcy is not
by raising passenger rates but add

CLEAR THE LEGAL ATMOSPHERE.

~ ENERAL T. COLEMAN DUPONT has reiterated his
" assertion that he stands ready and willing to
build the dupont Boulevard the United
States Supreme Court declares that the Delaware law
giving him authority to do so is constitutional
TO those who know General DUPONT such reteration
is unnecessary. II may serve. however, to dispe
doubt from the minds of those who do not know him
and who have given TO those politicians and law
yors who have defeated thus far the construction Of
the great highway projected by him princcy gift
to the people Of Delaware.
The question Of the consutionality Of the Boulevard
law has been raised by those who have sought with
a measure of success that has been harmful to our
State and its people to block the building of the
road. AS the construction work contemplated would
cost between S2OOOOOO and SsOOOOOO is only natural
that General dupont should wish TO have all legal
questions settled before doing anything in the
matter.
1t seems that It is clearly the duty Of the State
in view OF the magnihcence Of the proposed
gift to clear the legal atmosphere that General du-
Pont may know what to do II the people are to have
the Boulevard they cannot obtain it too quickly for
their own convenience and benefit.
