OPPOSE PUBLIC USE
OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Mothers See Possibility of Disease
Menace in Rooms Not Aired
Properly.

The growing use of public school
buildings by community clubs and
other outside organizations is a men
ace to the health and welfare of the
pupils, according to resolutions
adopted by the District Congress OF
Mothers and Parent Teacher Associa-
tions at it's June picnic meeting yes
terday afternoon in Montrose Park.
Georgetown.
Many buildings, packed with COM
munity crowds in the evening, are
closed without airing and are opened
only in time for the children to come
to school in the morning. it was
pointed out. Mrs Giles Scott Rafter,
president OF the organization. said 1t
had been suggested that the epf-
denies of measles and scarlet fever
the past winter may have been due
to the overcrowding of the schools by
adults after school hours.
Although many of the community
activities for which the schools are
used in the afternoon and night are
excellent, Mrs. Rafter said, the health
of the children should be given first
consideration.
Resolutions also were passed asking
that light be installed in the first and
second grade classroom, where late att
ernoon classes are held on account of
overcrowding. before the needs of the
community centers are considered.
Mrs. Rafter said she had visited some
schools where lights are being in
stalled and was surprised to find that
no lights have been placed in the pri-
mary grade rooms.
Another resolution was approved
asking the board of education to close
all schools to outside activities thirty
days before the opening of schools in
the fall, in order that the buildings
may be cleaned and painted before
the children return.
Other resolutions passed asked the
school board to include an appropria-
tion Of $4,000 for school Fairgrounds
In the budget now under preparation.
The board included an estimate of
only $500 in it's budget last year for
