"Do the waggons often get off the metals along this road, Evans?" he asked, stopping at one of the doors which regulate the ventilation. "Pretty often, sir; the rails are not very true, and the sleepers want renewing." "It would be as well if there were an extra light somewhere here; it would be handy. This is Number Ten door, is it not?" "Yes sir."
That'll give me a lift, and it doesn't come any too soon. My money is pretty low." He walked across the City Hall Park, and at Barclay street entered a University place car. "Evenin' paper, mister?" said a ragged newsboy, whose garments were constructed on the most approved system of ventilation. "What have you got?" "Evenin' Post, Mail, Express!" "Give me an Express. Here's ten cents."
Last, but not least in importance, a Gaucho infant hung suspended from the rafters in a primitive cradle of bullock's skin, the corners of which were drawn together by four strips of hide. The place would have been insufferably close but for the fortunate circumstance that a number of holes in the dilapidated roof allowed free ventilation.
The whole principle of the ventilation of the hot rooms of a Turkish bath resolves itself, primarily, into the fact that we have to continually remove the bottom layer of air. The provision of the foul-air conduits below the floor level is equivalent to providing a suspended floor with a hollow space under.
Miss Merriam, who, I hope, will go to you, is a college graduate, and in college she studied biology and food values and ventilation and sanitation and such matters. Since she has been here she has reviewed all that work under the physicians who lecture here, and she has practised first aid and made a special study of infant requirements.
Thorough ventilation, a cool room, and scant clothes on the bed, for the first five or six days. A change of temperature of the skin to be carefully regarded. As soon as the skin is cool, closing the windows, and putting additional clothing on the bed. The Acidulated Infusion of Hoses with Syrup is the medicine for scarlet fever.
Having been on the highest deck, with some ventilation from above, they were less in want of air than the grown-up people, though they seemed to enjoy the exercise allowed them even more than the rest; but not a particle of the animation of childhood was discernible among any of them.
We have planned the whole thing out. There is to be a lecture every Friday evening; the first is to be on household hygiene, the sanitary condition of houses, ventilation, cleanliness, etc. In the second lecture Hamilton will speak of the laws of health, self-management, personal cleanliness, to be followed by a few simple lectures on nursing, sick-cookery, and the treatment of infantile diseases.
In some there is not even the pretence of a window, but in cases of severe sickness a hole is knocked through for ventilation on hearing of the near approach of the Mission doctor. The walls have only one thickness of board with no lining and the roofs are thatched with sods. There is no flooring whatever. Not one person in Crémaillière can either read or write.
And proper ventilation is scarcely ever secured by those who use such stoves.
