Board of Trade Committee
Plans General Survey of

4 general survey of public school
buildings of the District is to made
by the committee on public schools

out that many OF the buildings are
overcrowded, and poorly ventilated.
Subcommittee Named.
A sub committee was named by
Chairman Frederick A. Fenning
as follows: DIR. c. N. Chapman, chair
man; Ernest Kelly. William L. Peet,
II. E. Bittinger, and E. ID. Ryerson.
This committee was directed to CO.
operate with the public health com
mittee of the Board in its investiga-
tion of the school buildings, and to
report to the full committee at the
earlist possible date.
Following discussion OF the need

sium at Mckinley Manuel Training

AnaIyzInE Her Breakfast.

"A woman who fitted the phrase
of fat, fair and forty came. into ny
office the other day. She was ex.
tremely anxious to reduce, but when
I told her that 1 was going to cut
down on her diet she flung her hands
toward the ceiling in a transport Of
despair.
"'why." she cried. I'm a very small
eater now"
Really? What did you have for
breakfast
why, I had only three or four
slices OF toasted bread and a cup of
coffee she replied.
"a few further questions coaXed
forth the fact that she used a lot OF
cream and four Jumps of sugar in
her coffee.
Your four Jumps OF sugar I ex-
planned to her. furnished as much
fuel as two slices of bread. while
your cream and sugar together were
more fattening than the rest of your
breakfast-and bread is not to be
despised as a builder OF flesh
OyereatInE More General.
"Overeating seems to be getting
more general as our cities continue
to grow and hard manual labor be-
comes less usual. The average city
dweller is slow to recognize that
since he has little exercise he re-
quires little food. When he does 20
out for a tramp or a few sets Of
tennis the unwonted activity is more
likely to increase his appetite than
his legitimate demand for food.
~ walk OF three miles requires an
addition to the dietary of only one
large slice OF bread and butter. yet
the average urbanite after taking
such a walk is likely to eat a third
more than usual at the next meal.

The modern fountain is of marble
or porcelain. The fixtures are nickel,
the porcelain tubs are filled with con-

with cages hold boiling water, and
the dish cloths. scrubbing brushes,

Resolution Adopted.

The committee adopted a resolution
urging that kindergarten rooms in
the school building be used for
kindergarten purposes only. The
resolution was offered by DIR. c. N.
Chipman who stated that in many
OF the schools, meetings OF various
kinds are being held in these rooms
and that the kindergarten rooms fire.
quently are left in a thoroughly un-
sanitary condition.
A resolution providing that no per.
sons other than citizens of the Uni
ted States. or those who have de-
clared their intention OF becoming
citizens, shall be employed in the
public schools was unanimously
adopted. 1t was pointed out that
number OF persons now teaching
in the public schools are not citizens
OF the United States and have public
iy avowed their allegiance to other
countries.

Falling Off Caused.

Declaring that the legislation en-

more than $1,000 a year. acting as
principals also of the night schools
is causing a marked falling off in
attendance and efficiency OF the
night schools, the committee adopted
a resolution urging that the law be
repealed.
IL was stated that the principals
OF the day schools are competent men
who have had eNperinece in
night school work and are needed
especially because of the large pro
portion OF young men attending the
night schools.
