SCHOOL HOUSE SANITATION.

oSF1oSI F1SOSE SSANl - BSbNs
Forty states OF the union have TAX
guarding the sanitation of public
school buildings, according to a bulle-
tin on School House Sanitation"
Just issued by the bureau of educa-
ton Of the U. s. department Of the
interior
Probably nine-tenths of the exist
ing regulation Of this sort has come
within the past decade" declares the
bulletin. Each state profits by the
experience Of forty-seven others. A
law passed in one extreme OF the
country today is copied next month
or next year by state 1000 or 5000
miles distant"
Thirty-eight states haye some legal
provision regarding the school site,
according to the bulletin. Nearly all
of these provisions are statewide in
their application, and are mandatory
in character These provisions include
the proximity of 'nuisances," avail
ability Of the site, and size of the
site. Nineteen states have laws pro-
hibiting the location OF school build
ings within a specified distance from
places where liquor is sold. from
gambling houses, houses OF prostitu-
ton. and noisy or smoky factories.
Thirty OF the states have sought to
regulate the water supply of the pub
lie school. 1.-THE revolt against the
common drinking cup" says the bal
letin, "has come within the past five
years. Kansas was the pioneer, but
other states followed rapidly, so that
now half OF the entire number have
either law or regulation regarding
drinking cups"
Some form Of protection against
fire and panic is found in thirty-six
states. Blanket regulations, or the
power to make such regulations. exist
in twelve states. General or special
construction with a view to fire pre-
vention is dealt with In ten states.
Thirteen Of the states have something
to say as to corridors and inner stair
ways; twenty-four have regulations
as to exits, and twenty-five as to ex-
terror escapes; ten mention alarm and
f1re-fighting apparatus; and eleven
states provide by law or regulations
for fire drills. Less than half the
states according to the bulletin. have
any legal word on ventilation. Thirty
cubic feet OF fresh air per pupil per
minute is the conventional amount
specified.
In the matter of cleaning and dis
| injecting, slightly more than one
fourth of the states have regulations
which control conditions to any de-
gree outside the districts themselves.
Some of the laws and regulations are
almost model; others are wholly in
adequate. A few state boards OF
health have done notable work in this
particular. Special cleaning and dis
injecting followed in seven states i'm

PROSPERITY ELECTRIFIED.

The three billion dollar electrical
industry is back Of nationwide cele-
bration Of electrical prosperity week
scheduled for November 20 to Decer.
Der 4. An electrical engineer. az
fiIiated with the society for electrical
development, explains this prosperity
campaign as follows:
"The mere mention of the word
prosperity brings sense of warmth
and contentment over the average
man. We have been SO fed with the
word depression since the outbreak
OF European hostilities that today we
do not know what is prosperity. The
word and condition flew out the ma.
TONS window when we fell to think
ing and wondering how the war, legis-
lation and other influences seemed to
conspire to kill business. From fig
Iuriug retrenchment we espoused tim
|idity and from timidity sprung bust
ness stagnation."
Prosperity Is returning to lis by just
the reverse chain of thought with the
identical psychological links, the
mind again performing the operation.
The electrical industry viewed the
nationwide business depression and
decided to switch of peoples minds
and to make prosperity" spell some
thing real and true.
The electrical industry said. Lets
have an Electrical Prosperity Week
in every city and town in the United
States; you can't halt business in this
country any more than you can stop
fhe rush Of Niagara. There's no rea-
son for depression. Let's wipe the
hard times howlers OFF the map!"
And SO 1t started. The electrical In
dustry turned its tremendous broad
side on depression. Peoples minds
halted in their gloomy forebodings. A
stimulus in foreign trade developed
and we began to think of profits to THE
big and little manufacturer. We fig
ured returns at last On investments
and we thought Of dividends and high
prices for our securities. The pros
perity train was back on the track.
We watched the stock market as 1t
was affected and new business enter
prices sprang into being.
Thus we passed through an unbrok-
en- and logical chain OF influence
which make for the fullest returns of
prosperity. Already we have reached
the high tide OF 81 ,000, 100000 trade
balance. So, you see, we get pros.
perity by reversing the process by
which we got depression
One good thing to remember is that
prosperity, going or returning, does
not depend on our exports. Our ex.
ports amount to about two per cent
of our business, and II it ran up to
FIVE per cent 1t would not revolution
ize business here
We lost prosperity when we stop
ped trading among ourselves and we
stopped trading when we began to
soak away savings in the kitchen
stove. Every time period Of nation
al pessimism sets in, we lose forty
per cent of our business.
Electrical prosperity week was the
logic OF a prompt return of business.
lit will do more to restore prosperity
to firm and permanent basis In
America than millions Of dollars gain
ed in. exports and even doubling OF
the trade exports we now enjoy. That
is why the week has caught on
and why all the other In
dustries are working hand in hand
with the electrical industry to make
the campaign the greatest trade res
toration celebration In Americas IN.
