A new heater and ventilator taking the
place of the old box stove was installed
at the Porter Street school house over the
week lend. The heater stands in the cor
ner of the room, and is on the plan now
so successfully used of stove surround
ed by a sheet iron casing lined with as
bestos, so as to give circulation OF
warm air through the room. A fue IN
the wall of the building connects with
this, so that by means Of damper the
cold air can be supplied either from
the room or from outdoors. The venti-
lator is independent OF the heater, except
: that il stands beside the other, and an
elbow carries 1t over the heater to warm
il and give it draft. Air Is taken by the
veutilator from near the floor, and the
flue goes out through the roof. With a
fire going in the heater, the draft in the
ventilator is strong enough to draw out
a match held at the intake.
