While ciizens of Mt. Pleasant arc
protesting against the further use OF
the frame Johnson Annex as a school
building, pupils in more modern build
ings are suffering because much-needed
repairs are not made. Teachers are
handicapped. and property is allowed
to depreciate because the annual ap-
preparation for repairs is not nearl;
adequate to the needs of Washington S
school buildings.
In many cases parent-teachers' as
sociations have taken the matter in
hand. and at the Edmonds School, al
Ninth and d streets northeast, mothers
arranged an entertainment which will
help defray the expenses of much
needed repairs.
Neglect of the plant and equipment
at the Edmonds School, one of the
city's most modern grade school build
ings, was described by Mrs. Joseph n
Saunders, president of the Mothers
Club at that school. Mrs. Saunders
said:
One of the chief handicaps pupils
face al the Edmonds School is the
heating system, installed by way OF
when 1t was found it was made
Quate. Heat is forced into the rooms
from points near the ceiling. This
system is dependent upon doors of
the rooms being closed, though 1t
is against rules Of the schools to
have class room doors closed dur
ing sc Nool hours.
Dust Pumped Into School.
No windows may be raised because
it interferes with this heating ar
rangement Halls Of the school are
not ventilated. Tubes to carry fresh
air to the rooms enter the building
from walls facing the play yard.
This play space is dusty in dry
weather and this dust Sits through
the building. All day it is pumped
into every room of the school, and
no windows are allowed open to
carry IL away.
The Edmonds furnishes many IL
Illustrations of the difficulty of get

OF the best collections of pictures,

to be found in any school in Wash

for whom the school was named.
Yet the burlap on the walls Of the
teachers room, on which are hung
these pictures. is tattered, torn, and
falling from the walls. Repeated ef-
forts TO have this room repaired

Unless rain inte1eres with today's
program, Rags aFircloth, who yes
terday worked In but one inning,
probably will be returned to the fir
ing line by Boss Boyle. William Whit
takers turn at the slab comes today.
In the last few games Bill has
pitched, he has shown better form
than at any previous time this year.
Possibilities of warm pitchers
battle were not remote today.
Well, the Indians may not win any
pennant this year, but they sure can
make things warm for some Of the
real contenders.
Fans saw some big league baseball
at the park yesterday. The erratic,
but sometimes brilliant Chick Me-
Gee pulled at least one bit Of field
ing that would have made, even In his
paImiest days, Joe Tinker's mighty
chest pun with pride. Arlington was
also there with some OF the fancy
stuff, while Tommy Gifffn played like
he always does.
Mccullough exhibited some more Of
his real form yesterday. Two real
hits were the best the Muskies coulo
do with him in five innings. One
blow which was chalked as a hit to
their credit was nothing more than a
scratch that bounded over Mack's
head.
Trump, the infieIder secured from
Cedar Rapids on the Hensling deal,
is still with the Indians, although he
has been warming the bench for sew
eral days. He seems to have the
markings Of a good ball player in him
but needs more experience.
Sweet has been working Rains on
first with fairly satisfactory results.
There have been two or three occas-
this position was evident. Once in
Saturdays game he failed to run in
on a bunt that was too hard for
O'Byrne to handle. The batter might
have been retired. but as it was, he
was credited with a hit. There have
been one or two other occasions when
he looked little weak. Taking ev-
erything into consideration, however,
he is playing a nice game, and is do
ing good work for q man in a strange
position.
