Ia forty of the Boston "c achools It was found, on examination, .that "the average proportion of car­ bonic acid was 1.393 parts in a million or nearly four times the normal amount existing in the Outer air." These statements might be largely multiplied The osual expedient for changinc: the air in a sc)>ool-room is to open the windows; but of this method f>r. A»- gus Smith says, "though foul air is clow poison, a blast -of cold air may Hay like a sword."' Opening the win­ dows during recess may afford a little alleviation, wut up to the moment of recess the scholars ai;e breathiug air that is oonstantly growing more fool and preparing them, on exposure, to take sudden cold. Then in cities, the air warmed by the furnace is often taken from dirty, close cellars or nar­ row alleys, and adds-its volume of im­ purity to the poisonous exhalations of the children's lungs.- The cry is for a reasonably cheap and thoroughly effec­ tive ventilating apparatus for school- houses. Who will respond? ^ vl , "t A farmer once hired a labors* to prnne and trim an orchard of valuable • fruit'trees, and to graft upon some of the branches some more , choice varieties. After two or three days lie went to see the work; when he found, to his great dismay, that the limbs of some of his favorite . trees . had been carelessly lopped; thart Ihe grafting was worSe'than use lees t and in short that many of the trees, by means of the ignorance of the workman, were nearly ruined. The laborer, upon be holding the chagrin and anger of the owner of the orchard,;M, .first laughed at the useless rage, and then asked de­ risively, "well, how wjai you help your­ self?" 3ttre enough, the work was done and how was be,to help himself? Nothing bat time aad careful nursing could restore his orchard, and for the present he must content himself with •ating fjriiit grown by others. Whoever hires a laborer to work ill hfa vineyard, must either interest Itim self in din work, ojC r^w theji^slc of And ing it poorly done, or his ylnpyard ruined. J«ist so, if you hire a teacher for your school, and sendliig your ohll dren thither, fall to look #fter the • >1 w°rk done; If, by and by, yau find thai I your money has been w^rse than nse- I lessly spent, how will fdu 'help your- ! sell?
