proud Of the new ventilating device
in her room, which was made by Mr..
Danish and consists of three frames
nicely finished and made to fit the
window castings of special windows
that can be opened in that room.
They are very convenient with
handles and latches so that little eff
fort is required in putting them on
or taking them off. The heavy muslin
stretched across the frames keeps the
fresh air circulating in the DON all
the time and yet pupils sitting right
by the window feel no draft.
