! 9CiloOl room, the grounds ana Watel
closets. That showed care on the par
Of the teacher, for she had a schoo
room well filled with children. This
IS a new building and very satisfac
tory. The heating stove is too small
Tor the requirements OF very cold
weather, and a heating and ventilat-
ing system could be installed here
with benefit to the school. 1t would
give more room for seats, furnish
freshly heated air every minute of the
day and benefit the health of the chill
dren just that much. The furniture
IS new and well cared for.
No. 35. Masters, near Harrington,
was in care of Miss Clarkson, teach
er, and the sanitary condition of the
grounds and property were very
good. A new closet or toilet had been
built for the girls and three more
desks added. The teacher takes good
care of the property. A recitation
desk is badly needed as well as a few
more new desks. The platform should
be removed and a sheet iron jacket be
placed around the stove on iron rods
about one foot high from the floor, so
as to protect the children from direct
rays OF heat from the stove in winter
season.
No. 3S. Prospect, few miles west
from Harrington, was in charge of
Miss Hazel Turner, and the clean
condition of school room, the grounds
and the water closets attest her gen
eral supervision of the school proper
ty. The school house had been paint
ed inside and outside since the last
arf- 4 D,
teachers use. In the winter season
the room is well filled and the stove
must have a sheet iron shield around
it, set upon iron rods, which will
leave about ore foot space at the bot
tom for the air to circulate under.
This VIII protect tie children sitting
near the stove from the direct heat.
The window at the rear OF the teach
er's desk must be closed to comply
with tie requirements of the State
Board OF Education, that light must
TALL over the shoulders of students
when possible in all school rooms
The window could be placed in the
opposite end of the room to good ef-
tCCt.
No. 81. .TOmahawk, southeast from
was under the care of
Mrs. Alice Ross, who is enthusiastic
in school work. She has organized a
I'sgent 7 sdchers' Association, and in
-tlealed the boys and girls in the |
Corn Clubs and the Preserving Clubs, |
IN addition to creating a very decided |
interest in the school on the part of |
he parents. The room was well fill |
I'd with children and the sanitary con-
litions were good. The grounds look |
we'll, and one water closet was in very /
,ood condition, while the other was
decidedly bad-it needs repairs as
veil as cleaning. A new flag pole had
,een raised, and the school room had
,een painted inside. The needs of
his school are, viz: one new water
loset, a new and larger blackboard
nd a sheet iron shield around the
Lnve to protect the children from
corching and becoming over-heated
yhen sitting near the stOve-as they
aust during the crowded winter
arm. A heating and ventilating plant
,Ould give more room and better air
Or the children to breathe; this latter
5 especially recommended to tie Pc
!e ii 1.niahawk District.
No. Is. Browns Neck, near Har
ingtOn, was under the care of Miss
ellie b. Hughes, 10 has maintain
4 the school a very clean sInOOl
pom and excellent sanitary cOndi-
ons as to the grounds and the water
iosets-one OF these was destroyed
y a big storm this spring and will
g rebuilt this summer The furni-
ire is part very old, and this could
e replaced with new to good adyan-
age OF the childrens comfort. A new
ump has been added since our last
isit. Here is another school which
eeds a sheet iron jacket around the
-Ove to protect the children from
re direct rays of the heat during the
inter season. 1t would hardly be
lstifable to place a heating and ven
lating plant in this old building,
mich is serviceable vet.
No. 80 and l24. Town Of Farming
N. Miss Cordray is the teacher in
large OF the school and the sanitary
)nditions were very good. After
any years agitation, and final con-
of the school property by
Ie County School Commission, the
chOOl Commissioners of Pennington
ave complied with the requirements
2 the State, and the school property
ken through a general course of
pairs. One of the school rooms has
zen abandoned, and the school advan
ges reduced to a One-rOom school
/ the first floor. The roof has been
paired, new floors in the school
om and hall, and a general repaint-
g inside and out. The furniture was
and is now serviceable
i'd comfortable for use. The child
n of Pennington Tor the first time
many years, attended school during
e year just passed with comfort
ID under conditions that made it
ssible to study with satisfaction
d credit to their teacher. This
hool room needs an iron shield
Ound the stove to protect the child
n in the winter who sit near the
: stove, from becoming over heated,
d permit them to enjoy the heating
stem in comfort. One of the heat -
: and ventilating systems used in >,
me of the schools would be a great %
mfort in the Pennington school,
d do away with the necessity of the
ield around the stove, as well as
ieguard the health of the children.
No. 40. Cedarfield, near Milford, is
der the care of Miss Matilda And +
ion, and the sanitary conditions of II
, schOolroom and outbuildings was
" good. A new stove had been
