The improper disposal Of overcoats.
hats and other apparel for outdoor
wear during the day in the public
schools Is one Of the most dangerous
conditions that can menace the health
Of the hundreds Of children.
When the coats arc piled up in the
rear Of the classroom they often send
out disease germs through the entire
class. a. well AZ from garment to gar.
ment. This condition is prevalent in
many Philadelphia schools. .
At the Landreth School there still
is in use an old building. 1t stands
Twenty.third and Federal streets. The
building used to be on the corner but
IN 1850 was novel back to make room
for a new structure.

The, wood is rotting and the place is
neither sanitary nor safe, for it is
within easy access Of petty thieves.
, In addition. tho toilet facilities Of
the school are deplornblc. To reach
them the children must pass along a
narrow passaseway in the basement Of
the newer building. The way is lined

perry from coal dust.
At tho James Forten School
\ condition not dissimilar exists at
James Forten School. on Sixth street
above Lombard street. The building is
old and badly lighted. The children
place their coats in the hallway, and
when the classes are dismissed the open
doors completely block the hall.
The hall Is easy of access from the
street. The door at the end is on Sixth
street and is far away from the prn-
cipal q office. SO there is no one who
can keen an eye on the belongings Of
the pupils. The school was built IN
1910 at cost of $S562.1l. II wns
called the Lombard Street School. II
then stood about seventy five feet back
from Sixth street. In 1870 on addi-
ton Of two stories was added 60 the
front at Il cost Of Sl3.S5O. In 1905 Il
further addition Of an extra story on the
front was built q. cost OF S7a12. In

old name was restored. In 1871 it was
renamed the James Forten school
