Now it seems a pity with all out of doors full of good pure air that we must suffer for want of it in the school room. In our climate, though the open air school has been successfully
-355-
operated throughout the school year at Rochester, N. Y., the idea is too radical to become popular and the expense for equipment is prohibitive. There is, however, a method of introducing fresh air directly into the school room which seems very attractive. Dr. John B. Todd of Syracuse, N. Y., is an enthusiastic advocate of cloth screens for school room windows. He says, "The screens furnish fresh air of very low velocity from a large sur- face, with no heat loss from conduction, whereas, with the win- dows closed, we have a large area of glass cooling the air; glass transmits twenty times more heat than cotton. The slow dif- fusion of fresh air does not seem to cool the air in the room any · more than it would be cooled by the glass if the windows were down."
The thing about this simple expedient which should most commend it to our earnest attention is the fact that Dr. Todd

assures us that "repeated humidity tests have shown that it (the humidity) is practically the same in these fresh air rooms that it is out of doors, which," he continues, "confirms Hobler that it can be obtained as easily by open windows as by a humidistat."
The air in the rooms screened in this way is said to be free from odors. One teacher says about a room thus screened, "The fresh clean air was always noticeable. Winter seemed forgotten here." Another says, "Since having the open air windows I find the children less restless. It is very easy to keep
their attention. They do not seem tired even at the close of the school. The attendance has been good. The children them- selves like the fresh air and do not complain of feeling cold. Personally, I have felt benefited by the fresh air."
The screens are inexpensive, the frame being of 7-8 inch by 1 3-4 inch pine, and the cloth unbleached sheeting. The Committee have already consented to allow the trial of a fresh air room here, and if funds can be obtained for its equipment, there is no reason why it should not become a reality.
