On,behalf of the whole Jazz Conâ€" cert Committee, I.want to thank you for the generous sapport you gave us.through your paper. Withâ€" out it, our concert could not have been the success that it was. Sincerely yours, f Robert Leopold, Jr. The Project to Go On As money becomes available adâ€" ditional classrooms will be equipped with fluorescent lights. The project hs proved to be a needed and worthy one. Eye comâ€" fort adds to personal comfort, les sons fatigue, and saves eyes! Dear Mrs. Olsen The need for improved lighting in classrooms has Tong been recogâ€" nized by members of the Board of Education of District 107. As early as the fall of 1944 Lighting Enâ€" (ineer‘ were called in to study jlighting conditions in the Elm Place and Green Bay Road Schools and to make recommendations. At that time the priority of War Inâ€" dustries for lighting fixtures and the urgency of other deferred maintenance projects in the schools made~it appear unwise to underâ€" take immediately the very costly project of installing fluorescent ‘lights in all classrooms. _ A Policy of Experimentation A policy of experimentation and careful planning was adopted.

Table tops were refinished in light flat tones to decrease light absorption and eliminate glare points and reâ€" sulting eye strain.

A series of spot checks with a light meter indicated ligh* values of from 50 to 85 foot candles at desk top levels. . Inasâ€" muchâ€"as 20 to 50 foot candles is considered by lighting engineors as adequate for moderately critical and prolonged tasks such as readâ€" ing, bench work, and classwork, the installation â€"was considered a sucerss ~â€" L *‘Thursday, Nov. 6, 1947 Thur.
