cracks between boards in corners
through which daylight is easily visible;
that quartering the SAB class has SINH
lar but less pronounced cracks. and
both are inadequately warm when re-

in rainy weather or when a thaw takes
place; such a condition. however, was
not actually visible to the reporter. The
main building is in two sections, built
at different times; boys toilets, located
in old building, are Of old type, while
girls, in newer structure, are of mod

facilities and badly lighted and ill-
