Show OQARO NOW DESIRED ON PUBLIC BUILDINGS Superintendent A. C. Xclson and Others to Work for Proposition. A. C. Nelson, superintendent of public Instruction, and several others, will go before the coming legislature and attempt to secure a bill creating a. stato hoard on public buildings, whose business It shall bo to examine all public buildings when completed and accept or reject them. The purpose of the board, S3 outlined out-lined ny Mr. Nelson, is to secure proper ventilation In public buildings, and especially es-pecially in schoolhouseu. "Wo expended $-1 10.000 in school buildings build-ings in tho last var," said Mr Nelson Tuesday, "but little or no assurance of proper ventllatloji Is given now. In some of these buildings the ventilation Is good; In others, decidedly had. This Is a menace men-ace to the health of hundreds of tho school children of tho state." Tho expenso of such a board would be nominal, Mr. Nelson believes, remarkably remark-ably small In proportion to the benefits. A board of throo members Is contemplated, contem-plated, made up of an nrchUoet. a stato health officer and the superintendent of public Instruction, possibly. Mr. Nelson will also presenr another bill to the legislature requiring applicants appli-cants for teachers' licenses to be graduates gradu-ates of high schools, or to hnvo taken an equivalent course, beforo they aro eligible eli-gible to take the examination for touchers' touch-ers' certificates. |
