This antiquated apology for a school house Is continually laying the foundation for scrofula, tuberculosis, eye diseases and numerous other ali ments in our children; and while death only occasionally takes one as an Im mediate sacrifice, many of these little Innocents are victims of disease in aft er life on account of having attended t'rew Street School.

President Rosser not only admits ths truth of Dr. Amater's Indictment, but says that other school buildings ars In even a worse condition ' tlmn Crew Street. He says that all of the frame buildings have outgrown their useful ness. His statement Is as follows: The board of education knows as II, If not better, than anybody else that the Crew Street School Is not fit for the purposes for which It Is being used. Rut that Is not the only schoo house In the city that Is Insanitary and unlit for use. There are the Dee Street School, the Marietta Street School, the Fair Street School, and the Walker Street School. They are all worse than the Crew Street School. In fact, all the old frame buildings have outgrown their usefulness. 'As to the board of education not taking any notice of reports about the Crew Street School, I wish to call at tention to the fart that I and other members of the board went before the finance committee of the city council the first part of this year and stated that some of the school buildings were unlit for use, were Insanitary, and disgrace to a civilized community, made It ns strong as words could have made It. I believe that In the near fu ture, perhaps next year, the city coun cil will give us money to expend on these old buildings. The city has i so fast that It has been Impose! build the new schools, and at the same time keep the old buildings In repair. We erected new buildings because If we had not, hundreds. If not thousands, of children would have had no chance to go to achool at all. We thought the old frame buildings might last a year or two longer. "The fact that the Crew Street School Is In bad repair Is no news to the board of education, and the same Is the case with the other schools I have men tioned. We are doing the best we can, and we hare tried to use the money given u* to the very best advantage of the city and the people."
