IN another part of this paper is printed
an article which describes how cheap
heater and ventilating system can be
built and installed in any school room
for twenty dollars, or thereabout, as the
total cost. As many school rooms need
more room, and as the present stoves
make 1t impossible for desks to be placed
near to them. this plan of heating will
be helpful to such schools Then the
ventilation is worth all of the cost in
every case. The carbonic gas left after
the human being has breathed air and
thereby exhausted the oxygen, which is
the life giving element in air, is heavier
than air and settles to the floor after
being expelled from the lungs. This
accumulates and accounts for the close
smell so often found in rooms where
many people are gathered By having a
ventilating system which will gather this
heavy gas into a current and expel it
from the room, the air remaining is main
tanned fresh and pure. We call especial
attention to this plan Officiating and ven
filation to the people generally. and rec
ommend that it be given a trial; it is not
very expensive to install, and will save
the cost of an elaborate heating plant
if correctly constructed.

invested, on paper as each saw fit,
