FOUR SCHOOLS OF COUNTY CENSORED
IN nilALln nCrUnl " Pour schools In Wayne county, outside of Richmond, inspected recently by Dr. Helwlg, of the state board of health, County Health Commissioner Bulla and' County Superintendent Williams, have been condemned in at least one respect In Dr. Helwlg's re
port 10 tne state ooara. The schools Include the Milton
school, Washington township; Greensfork school in Clay township; Hagers-
town school, in Hagerstown and the Pershing school, in Jackson township. The report in detail follows: ' The school at Milton should be condemned for the following reasons: No ventilation, pupils in two of the rooms face windows; heating system Is not adequate; crossed light in all
rooms; insufficient lighting, and other
conditions which cannot be remedied by. remodeling the building.
ureensrorK Bunaing crowded.
. The hiiilriiner t. (treenufnrk. Cluv
township, is a comparatively new
building, and should not be condemned but orders should be given to the trustee. Mr. Charles Bond, that the over-crowded condition bo relieved by the beginning of the next school year. In the high school room of this building there is but 7 8-10 square feet per seat and 93 cubic feet per seat In room four of this building. 14 square feet of floor space is found, also 171 cubic fret 'The crowded condition of the building makes It necessary to use two rooms in the basement for labora
tory, recitation and domestic science
purposes. This basement is eight feet four inches in the clear.
Another condition which I have ordered the trustee to attend to at once "is in reference to the furnaces. One
furnace is immediately under the stairway and but a few inches exists hotwopn fhft stalrwav. The furnace
has no provision for fire proofing as
required by rule. .In all rooms crossed light is pres
ent but I have some doubt a3 to
whether one side can be made blank
and sufficient window space added to
the other side to give sufficient glass
area. I would recommend that the crowded rooms be closed at the end of this school year and their use prohibited until the crowded condition
is relieved by additional building. The grounds at this school are ample to
add any necessary additions. Report on Hagerstown
The Hagerstown school is an old brick, two story and attic building. A
basement was made in this building to accommodate the heating plant which is working very well, and heats all rooms uniformly. I find that in some of the rooms insufficient floor space, glass surface and cubical content. I found two portable buildings at this
school, one of them being used for do
mestic science and physic laboratory, and commercial room. These rooms with the exception of the domestic
science are heated by stove. The domestic science room is not provided .with heat and it cannot be used on that account during cold weather. The portable building used for manual training Is likewise heated by a stove. In all these buildings crossed Ught is present and at the expiration of the time limit for the use of portable buildings, I would recommend that these be ordered removed. I likewise recommend that the Hagerstown school be condemned. ; The Pershiner. Jackson Tnwnshln

EXCHANGE DIPS UP SHARPLY AS FEATURE OF WEEK'S TRADING (By Associated Press) NEW York, March 6. A sudden uprush In foreign exchange with the pound sterling some 50 cents over its low record of a month ago, and concurrent advances in rates to the other allied countries, were the foremost features of the week In the financial market The rise was attended by circum
stantial reports of early gold imports
on a huge scale from England, ana possibly France, but these were almost discredited In high banking quarters. .International financiers are agreed that the foreign credit situation weighs heavily over the world's commerce but
aver that the British trade balance is in process of rapid readjustment with
marked betterment in the Frencn siv
uation. There was a pronounced slackening of business in stocks which were irreg
ular at best, save for resumption of
pool operations in motors, oils and affiliated issues. CHICAGO. March 6.
