DUST IN SCHOOLS.
There are many good dust allayers on the market, and the
writer is convinced that their use in class-rooms is conducive to the
health of both teachers and scholars. The application is simple
and inexpensive, and saves both time and labour on the part of the
caretakers. These preparations weight down the dust, and so keep
it from mingling with the school air. Dust means disease, and
the writer has proved both by chemical and bacteriological experiments
in schools, that the air of those class-rooms treated with a
dust-laying preparation is five times more wholesome than that in
class-rooms not so treated.
