ius amount of air and the shrunken
battered doors do still better Unde,

clothed, d,-that is true. But wouldn't

The directors have very generousl,
given us eight months of school the

sanitary building and with seats ant
desks that do not injure the health
of the child. Of course we should b.
glad if the building would permit
third class Standardization laws. I,
