CHILDREN

AT SCHOOL WATERLESS That in Cook county, Ii!., and within the, limits of an Incorporated town there ir a public school whose meagre supply of drinking -water is carried blocks in buckets and where scores of pupils use I the old-fashioned drinking cups. Is the ; disclosure of indignant parents whose i children attend the Sobieski or South ! DiMr.ct school in West Hammond, j Investigation of the report has brought j forth a story of apparent neglect and I indifference on the part of authorities .1 1 niDst unbelievable in these days when ! inillions.are spent lavishly in order that I children may have the best possible con- ! unions surrounding- them in securing their education. Iaxity on the part of the West Hammond health couimissloner and the board of education for the South district are charged by those familiar with ihe state of affairs at the Sobieski school. The Sohtesk! school, public in spi'e of its Polish name, is situa'ed at the evtreme southwest corner of "West Hair mend. It is the last house before the i-f-en countt y is reached, an o!d-fash-imed, cheerless, ugly, uninviting frame structure of a type long since obsolete Its- appearance and location seem to have teen aianned with the idea of dlscourj aging attendance instead of inviting it. jjut north of it. within plain sight, and pi osentitig a striking contrast, are the handsome brick buildings of the S:. Andrews Polish Cathohc school and con. vtnt. Four weeks ago It seems the water I f-upply at the Sobieskl school suddenly ceased. The matter was reported at once 10 the board of education. The water p. pes lead iig to the school were frozen. "ey decided, and it would he useless to attempt to remedy the trouble. Po nothHe also promised to look into it. Since lh"n hei has visited the school several t mes and was shocked on each occa-sion to find the water stiil shut off. But that did not furnish water. At first, thinking the trouble only temporary, water from the school janitor carried Ins home in. buckets. He buys water through a meter. It soon occurred to him that his hi'l would he i higher if he furnished wa'er for the j public school so he asked the board if would be reimbursed. He would not. he -was Informed. He quit bringing water. Then the teachers decided that the only nay would be for the pupils to bring their drinking water with them. Washing would, of course, be. out c the question during school hours. When fresh the water .supplied in Hani1 mend and "West Hammond tastes non too good, but it stands in milk bottles and similar receptables in a warm room for five or six hours it becomes unpalatable. So it is at the Sotieski school. Daily at tho school as the closing hour draws near, the clamor for water becomes louder. Iittle tots in the primary graces, tmable to understand it all. er when they become thirsty and the teachers in despair send them home. Closing exercises find all grades depleted ai children have been excused because of thirst. Saturday Pr. Rradley, the heaith commissioner, visited the school again. When he left he was sure the wafr would bo turned orr before Monday morning. Otherw-is he was to be informed at once. "What aetion he proposes to take is not known, but he has the authority to force some sort cf action for the power of a health commissioner Is almost unlimited fn cases of this kind. He cao at least force an investigation to lnj-n whether the pipes really are frozen, a fa-t which has not been ascertained and which is doubted by many when the warm weather of the last four weeks is considered.
