The indirect and remote effects of
chronic exposure to unsuitable air, are
not so we'll known, because they are
| not 50 spectacular, but they are none
the less real. Bad ventilation is fac
tor in the production of nearly all kinds
of diseases which have their seat in the
respiratory passages, including tuber-
culosis. pneumonia. diphtheria, colds,
laryngitis, pharvngitis, nasal and
bronchial catarrh, hypertrophied ton
silitis and adenoids. Imperfect aeration
of the blood is a result which in turn
causes general debility. This means
lowered resistance to fatigue, to disease,
and probably also to temptation, neither
physical nor moral victories go to the
aenemic.
1t has been estimated that during re-
pose 3. 900 cubic feet of fresh air for
each person every hour is necessary to
properly dilute and render harmless the
carbonic acid expired
The carbOnic acid is not 50 danrrrou =

almost impossible to properly ventilate.
A room should be so ventilated that the
air is in constant motlon--the foul air
carried out and fresh air admitted in
such way as not to make a little
draught which strikes but small part
of the body and gives one cold, but an
imperceptible current of air, large
enough to pervade every portion of the
room. This can best be secured by hav-
ing the same window open both above
and below; this prevents a direct
draught from one window to another

b.. Gr4tnmir School h.; ing a board
under the lower SASH, III which are two
eight inch openings; into these open
ings are fastened two elbows of stove
pipe. The pipe is so placed that the
free end is turned up in the room so
that as the fresh air enters it is diffused
up into the school room instead of down
upon the heads of the nearest pupils;
the opening above, formed by lowering
the upper sash. is protected by a screen
of thin sheet iron so placed that there
cannot be direct draught down into
the room.
A very good way to arrange for ven
tilating a sleeping room, and not create
direct draught upon the sleepers, is
to raise the sash six or eight inches
from the bottom, and plnning a news
paper across the opening, leaving the
bottom and top of the paper loose, and
only fastening the ends. This creates
an influx of fresh air. but dlverts the
direct current so that one portion as
cends and the other descends.
The hot, dry still air OF the school
room sucks up every bit of moisture
from the furniture, from the skin and
throats of the children. All the mucous
membranes exposed to such air become
parched and unhealthy. Diseased con-
ditions of the nose and throat result;
catarrh becomes the rule; diphtheria,
pneumonia and tuberculosis are more
easily contracted. Another effect of
this kiln-drylng to which the children
are subjected, is to make them irri-
table Self control becomes more diff.
ficult and concentration is impossible.
CLEANLINESS is next to Goodness" so
says the old saw and truly.
The eXcretions of the body are a most
important element in the factors that
go to make up health or disease. The
pores of the skin are the sewers through
which much of the waste material of
the body is carried off. When the
proper precaution as to bathing are not
taken, these minute waste pipes be-
come clOgged, and the result is that
they do not perform their offices prop
erly. and the waste instead of being
eXcreted is retained in the system,
poisoning the blood
Bathing regularly is indispensable to
the general health.
The advice the old man gave to the
son about starting on a journey, was
good. He said. MY son, fear God, love
your neighbor, but above all, wash
yourself.
The o. H. S. Glee Club sang several
selections in very creditable manner.
The Club was highly praised by the
audience.
Supt. Rathbun emphasized many of
the important points of the different
addresses. Mr.. Rathbun takes a great
interest in the welfare of the schools
of the schools of the county, and hopes
more parents meetings will be held
and that they will be the means of &C.
complishing much good.
