from its windows the occupants could

URGE NEW SCHOOL
FOR TUBERCU[ARS
Officials, in Meantime, Would
Improve Conditions of
Present Institution.

Replacing the Hamilton Tubercular
School on Bladensburg road with
modern and ideal building. located on
high and open site in the District,
will be one of the aims of public
school officials the coming year.
Meantime. while waiting for Congress
to appropriate the necessary FUNDS
for a new school for tubercular in
fected children, officials will make an
effort to better conditions at the pres
ent institution.
Constant criticism of the Hamilton
School. ii was pointed out yesterday.
has put school authorities in an en-
barra Ssing position AS one official
put it, I'VE are between two fires.
He stated that some individual will
attack the school because 1T is not
equipped properly for school purposes,
while another will criticise it On ac-
count of the lack of hospital equip
ment. Still another he said will find
fault with the location of the school.
Making Rest of Conditions.
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintend-
ent of schools, claims that the
tubercular institution is being oper-
ated as well as conditions permit.
The school administration, he said. is
unable to get sufficient funds to fur
nish the school in the method it de-
sires. but sees to it that the institu-
ton is run in sanitary manner.
DIR. BaIlou and other officials last
week examined the school. They con-
tend that they found it in a salts
factory condition, though not as ideal
as possible. In the next several
months $4,000 will be spent on re-
pairs for the school.
1t is the purpose of school au-
thoritieS to put the school in the
best condition possible with the limit
ed funds until Congress appropriates
money for a new tubercular institu-
ton. They believe it will take two
years or longer to get an appropria-
ton for a new school from Congress.
Location Is Problematical.
Where school officials will ask the
proposed new tubercular school to be
located. they have not decided. They
agree, however, that it should be in an
open territory. far from the resi-
Dental section The cost of such a
school as has been suggested has not
been estimated.
Several school authorities believe
that the new school should be in the
form of camp, composed OF num-
Der of sanitary, well adapted portable
buildings. The camp. they contend,
should be lighted by electricity and
heated with the most modern of heat
ing plants.
