THE MORNING OKEGOMAX, TUESDAY, JULY 14, 1908. 11 REPORTS SHD CKI N G TOILETGONDmONS Oregon State Congress of Mothers . Denounces Sanitation. FULTON SCHOOL IS WORST Committee Finds Railroad Laborer! . Velng Toilet Facilities and Says That Condi ion s Are Indescribable. SHOCKING SITUATION IN THE SCHOOLS OF PORTLAND. Oregon State CongreM of Mother. In a written report to the Board of Education declares that a startling condition exlRts in the public school bulldlnira regarding anttatlon. They charge woeful lack of care of toilets, and general neglect of physical wel fare of pupils In some of the build ings. The report denounces the present system of plumbing, attacks the lack of proper ventilation and lights and recommends new and modern plumb ing and the exaction. of greater care of school buildings, looking toward the physical upbuilding of the pupils. In, the Fulton Park School build ing, the report declares, a gang of railroad laborers was allowed the use of the toilet, and the most start ling and shocking conditions were found. In a lengthy written report, filed with the Board of Education yesterday after noon, the Oregon State Congress of Mothers denounces what it terms the frightful conditions existing in many of the public school buildings regarding san itation and the woeful lack of attention to the ordinary physical welfare of the children. The report was read by Mrs. Elmer B. Colwell, president of the Con gress. It covered the investigations and personal inspections made by the mem bers of the organization, and Its contents are startling. The most serious charges are made as to the condition of toilets in the school buildings and the lack of proper care of the system as it stands. The sensational statement is made that the toilets in the- Fulton Park School were used by men from the grading camp, located near there, and on this point the report is most scathing in its denunciation of the conditions found In that building. Bad conditions prevail, according to the report, in many of the buildings, and the Board of Education Is urgently asked to Install a new system of plumbing, and to exact 'greater care of the sanitation feature of the schools. No action was taken on the report, but the members of the Board listened with rapt attention as Mrs. Coldwell read it. The report was filed, and will probably form the basis for one of the most searching investiga tions ever ordered by the Board. It will receive consideration at the next meet ing. The report follows: Report of Congress. To the Honorable Board of Education The Oregon State Congress of Mothers begs to submit the following communication for your consideration : During the past Winter, members of the Congress have been vlsltlnc the schools of the city. While we find much in them to commend, we feel that special emphasis should be placed on the need in many of the buildings for better plumbing, and we mention in this connection the following schools: FULTON PARK 'Toilets positively in decent at the time of our visit, were being used by workmen employed on the electric road, then In process of construction. We Teferred this matter to the construction company and as we were assured that the work at the point was ended, we carried the complaint no- farther, and mention It only at this time to rophasixe the con dition in which we found them. They were without windows or doors, and although we were told that lime was used once a month, the whole condition waa so shocking that nothing but condemnation can be ex pressed. We found the water used by the pupils is from a well and smelled very badly. Other Schools Neglected. TERWIL.L.IGER SCHOOL Toilets have no doors and are Hushed but twice a day. The play apace for the children here is not adequate nor in good condition. . A1NSWORTH SCHOOL Also in bad con dition as regards Its sanitation. The toilet arrangements are bad and poorly kept; Insufficiently flushed. DAVIS SCHOOL Dirty and ill kept as to basement. The closets were not clean nor flushed often enough. WILLIAMS AVENV'E SCHOOL As we were informed that the Board had under consideration the erection of a new build ing we attach no criticism in this report, other than to hope that the new building will not be delayed. GLENCOE SCHOOL Almost as poorly equipped as the Fulton School. We have no words that can convey our opinion as to these two schools. CLINTON KELLY SCHOOL We found evidence of carelessness on the part of the Janitor. Although it was 4:30 in the after noon the toilets had not been flushed. Failing School Overcrowded. FAILING SCHOOL Toilet facilities in wretched condition; school overcrowded; we found classes reciting In the halls an-i over flow grades conducted in a separate build ing poorly ventilated, with toilet equip ment and surroundings unsanitary. We wish to emphasise the situation at this school, contrasting I with that of the Hol man School in the adjoining district with four empty rooms, closed through lack of pupils, although many could Just as easily have gone to the Holman as to the Failing School. We confess that this policy Is not readily understood, nor can it be commended from the standpoint of the parent and the taxpayer. In this connection, we respect fully petition the Board tj divide the dis tricts so that the children can be more com fortably cared for next term. SHATTLCK SCHOOL Toilet facilities Inadequate and not well cartd for. We realise that the two last-named schools are old, but we feel that the health of our children demands vigorous criticisms. Makes Some Recommendations. This list of school Is of thove where we founn particularly bad conditions We ap preciate the expense which a new system of plumbing would Involve, but we insist again that the health of our children should be considered as of more importance than any expenditure necessary to maintain a high standard. We wish to emphasise particularly our protest against the tube system of toilets. Properly conducted, it may be sanitary, but operated an It is in the schools, with flush ing so seldom during the day, it can be neither sanitary nor wholesome. We desire also to refer to the absence of doors to the toilets, while there may be good reasons for this custom. It does not appeal to us as one conducive to habits of modesty. We wish to portest most vigorously against the basement toilet and petition your honor able body to adopt the system In vogue in other cities, of placing the plumbing fix tures In a one-story structure directly con nected with the main building and accessible from yard or basement. We would also petition for Individual toilets with automatic seat-operating attachments. We believe that any economy in this direction or in the water supply la a false economy and one that is sure to react on the health of our children. end to remove the toilets from the basements to the outside of the buildings, especially since the' basements are used as play rooms and lunch rooms by the children. We found In several of the schools, black window curtains and are at a loss to under stand the special value of this color in a window shade, especially during the dark days of Winter. We respectfully recommend a change In this respect. We desire to express our appreciation of the uniform courtesy with which we were received by the teachers and Janitors alike. Trusting that this communication will be received In the spirit in which it is pre sented, a sincere desire for such improve ment as may tend to raise not only the standard of health of our children, but the standard of our school architecture, we are yours most respectfully, MRS. E. B. COLWELL, MRS. R. L. DONALD. MRS WALLACE M' CAM ANT. Favor Automatic Sprinkler. The matter of Installing an automatic sprinkling system in the Ladd School was discussed, and Mr. Campbell, to whose committee the item was referred for rec 'ommendation, reported in favor of the installation. He stated that it would cost approximately $2300. and that a big reduc tion in insurance rates would be granted if it is done. In five years, it was said, the system would pay for its cost, aside from the protection afforded. No definite action was taken, but further considera tion will be had. A committee, consisting of H. Witten berg, chairman of the Board of -Education; Mrs. L. W. Sit ton, a director, and City Superintendent Rigler, was named to draft resolutions on the death of Pro fessor Pratt, and the members of the Board will attend the funeral in a body. HAWAII KEEPS OPEN HOUSE Island Capital to Overwhelm Fleet With Hospitality. HONOLULU. July 13. Honolulu has completed all arrangements for the en tertainment of the Atlantic battleship fleet. The entire community, regardless of race, has heartily united to extend a cordial welcome to officers and men and provide them with entertainment. By universal consent July 16, the day on which the fleet is scheduled to arrive, will be made a complete holiday, and all business will be suspended. Thousands of persons from all parts of the terri tory -will assemble on Diamond Head and along the other heights and points of vantage southeast of Honolulu to witness the spectacle of the approaching men-of-war. The fleet will proceed past the leper settlement on the island of Molokai on the way to this port. In order to give the lepers an opportunity to view the ships. From then on for the last 20 miles of Its journey the whole fleet will be visible to the multitudes lining the heights. With the appearance of the fleet itself Honolulu will let loose its enthusiasm in a magnificent bombardment and day light fireworks which have been specially prepared by the Japanese residents at great expense. Daylight fireworks will also play a large part in the festivities. The entertainment commitee has sched uled excursions to all places of Interest, and the men of the fleet will be over whelmed with opportunities to see the islands during their stay. There will be trips to Pearl Harbor and to the sugar plantations and pineapple regions of Muami and Fall and to all other points of scenic interest. The owners of automobiles have has tened to place their cars at the commit tee's disposal and practically every ma chine on the island will be in use. Large plans for baseball games, foot ball, polo, boxing and wrestling matches have been made and in addition to these there will be many forms of entertain ment of a purely Hawaiian character. Among these will be a grand ball at Wal kikl Beach: Ashing and chowder parties at Pearl Harbor for the officers and a feast of cocoanuts, fruits and . other island delicacies for the men. For several days the use of the street cars and trains will be free to the men of the fleet and the committee has pro vided rest houses and comfort stations about the city. Scores of private resi dences will also keep open house for the sailors. There will be dinners and garden parties by the score. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. PORTLAND, July 13.
