AV Vance Drown, at this point, j .aid he was Inclined to believe dry j heat, was about as good as hot air and that, he did not feel that more should be spent for the heuting jthan was first estimated. Before the report submitted by Commissioner It. K Fitznatrtck and Superintendent W. I.

In both titles all schools erected In recent years have been equipped irooms, uniformly" to from 68 to 70 degrees by the system under . the thermostat temperature control.

PKOMIXF.NT ARCHITECT FAVOK8 THIS SYSTEM ' "Your committee had a confer ence with Charles Kobinson, the official school architect for the cities of Richmond, Norfolk, Ports mouths, Newport News, Norfolk county and four or five other coun ties, and had from him an enthusi astic endorsement of the hot-air fan-blast system. He specifies the system for all schools planned by hii office.

"We inspected carefully the toilet equipment In the schools in both cities. In both school systems nothing but the ventilated latrine toilet equipment is used. Mr. 1'uscy, Mr. Hill, Mr. Cousins and .Mr. Robinson all recommended this system as Ideal. No other has Deen installed in the grammar schools of these cities for a num oer or years. lour committee was particularly impressed with the unusual sanitary conditions of the toilets produced by the use of this equipment.

KXPLAIN HYSTKM IN DURHAM SCHOOLS Superintendent Puany, of the Durham schools, recommends the hot-air fan-blast system for all scnoois. He states It for the schools for the children, costs much less to Install and much less to maintain.

INSPKOT HYSTKMS IN USK SINCG 1908 "Visited Taylor Grammar school, Mr. Cook accompanying us. The system in this school Is the Peck Hammond system with blower at tachment and Johnson automatic thermostat; however, no method is provided to moisten the nlr.

The fan used In connection with this hjs tem, according to the statement of of Mr. Cook, was originally too large through a mistake in figuring the 'heating required and it was Impossible to keep the building warm until the speed of the fan had been reduced. "Next visited Logan school, erected in 1913, and found Mr. Davis, who was formerly principal of Charlotte high school, In charge. Mr. Cook still accompanying us. This school was erected in 1913 and has the American Heating and Ventilating company's hot air sys tem equipped with blower and Johnson uutomatic thermostat. Five furnaces being used to heat 24 rooms, no auditorium. All of the principals and the I superintendent or heating in Co lumbia stated that the hot air sys tem In use there was satisfactory, but it would unquestionably re quire care and heavy firing to heat the building in zero weather. "Columbia also has two schools heated by direct steam, no ventila tion provided, which systems are not considered satisfactory, ac cording to the statement of thej gentlemen in charge, from a health I standpoint. No steam ventilating systems are in use. Mr. Cook and the other gentle men stated most emphatically that the automatic regulating system wus absolutely necessary and the principals of the various schools strongly recommended the use of register in corridors to warm the feet of tho children on entering the buildings.

In Jack sonville, na., we touiin mat one million dollars had recently been voted for school buildings, how ever, they use nothing but direct steam, ventilations provided by the use of wlnqViws. The principal of the Duval high school stating that thero is never more than SO days in any year in which the windows cannot bo opened. "We were very much struck with the school system In Jackson ville, however, and with the fact that, they provide school facilities for the children of visitors In that Ity, no tuition being charged. VISITS SCHOOIX IN ATLANTA, OA. "Atlanta, Georgia: Visited the Roys high school, where we found direct steam used In connection with hot air, no ventilation being provuieo except Dy air ducts and windows. We: were referred to the suerintendent's office In the city hall by the prinlripal of this school where we met Mr. Hunter, assist ant superintendent, who very kind ly showed us' over a numbeskof tho buildings.

Roth Mr. Hunter and Mr. Bowles recommended the Kewanee direct steam system without blower, ven tilation provided by the use of air ducts and windows Mr. Bowles stating that' the maintenance and operation expenses of the hot air system, equipped with blower was in excess of their maintenance and operation expense of the Kewanee direct iteam system. ."Moncrlef.

Dad looks worried like a man that has received a dun on a past due bill. Mother very plainly wears the air of having heard a recent lecture about extravagance. Sister's troubles are audible; she is downright vexed about a party frock that was halfway promsied but did not materialize. And son well he just cannot see why h he could not have at least a small supply of pocket money. Have we correctly described the symptoms? Now we shall diagnose the trouble: Maladjustment in money matters. That's all. The American Family is perfectly sound and perfectly secure in its broader re lationships of duty, devotion and happiness except for a lack of the essential harmony between income and outgo. Now comes the Budget Plan, which, in brief, is the idea of fixing in advance an allowance for all necessi ties and pleasures. It is a good plan, if we will be con sistent in its use. We should remember that it is no more than a plan; not a panacea. Let's remember, too. that the average income is really sufficient for the aver- ntffx nfr1c! o rwl mucf Ko cuffimont And iravr a-.

A properly kept budget will help you to see these trifling daily expenses which simply amount to nothing, but together make a mountain. By using a budget, that is planning ahead month by month, you can easily tell how much you should spend in a year for food, clothing, rent and incidentals. Then you can keep track of these expenses; allow your self so much each month for each expense.
