EDUGATONBOARD PROGESSANTATON Lists 222 Situations in 95 Schools as “Urgent.” Funds Are Limited. The Board ofy Education yesterday afternoon decided that there are 222 sanitary situations in 95 public schools which are ‘“urgent” and demand prompt attention. After a general discussion among members of the board at their regular meeting, it was decided that the entire body would aid Dr. H. B. Learned's committee on buildings and grounds in the remedying of the unwholesome sanitary conditions which were of- ficially ‘called to the attentien of -the bhoard by Health Officer William C. Fowler at the opening of the present school year. Scores of needed improvements in the sanitary condition of the schools outlined in the Fowler report alrea have been taken care of, and the 2: situations now placed on the “‘urgen list have neces ily had to be held in abeyance through lack of funds Funds Are Needed. Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintend- ent, who has annually fought for a larger repair fund, said today that naturally if the money was the sanitary situations befor would have been remedied months ugo. As it is the members of the board are going to carefully analyze each one of the situations in conec- tion with the compilation of the De- cember repair list. with the probabil ity that the majority of them will be tuken care of Defore tiie end of the present school year. Bad ventilation, non-adjustable fur- niture, unsatisfactory haalthy drinking “ou condition of floors, walls and furni ture are prominent among the 22 situ- atlons being scrutinized by the board. Fraternity Subject Up. Approval by the board of tho recog- nitlon of the Phi Delta Sigma Sor- ority and the Sigma Delta ¥ y provoked a mild discu L fraternity subject. Henry Gilligan, a nen member of the bo: ventured “the opinion that if one fraternity is approved all should be approved. Dr. Rallou declared that the fraternity situation must be kept under control and said that it probably would come to the attention of the board at a later date. The board authorized school officials to provide bus transportation for tu beveular children who attend the Hiealth and Herrison Schools. The vesiznation of Miss Wilson as direcior of dom in the col ored schools was aceepted. Personnel Changes. n The board authorized the following | personnel changes Resignations—E. D.

Capital Homes Looted of Cash and Jewelry. Burglary is exacting, painstaking work, but occasionally members of the profession, who are human like every- body else, grow careless. Such was the case of the practitioner who called yesterday at the home of Beatrice Murphy, 751 Fairmont street, entering with a duplicate key. He scraped up $22.50 in cash, but left be- hind him a gold filled watch. Another duplicate-key worker took Jewelry valued at $44 from the home of Walter Jackson, 1622 Tenth street, but left his hat, initialed “W. J.” More suceessful was the burglar who got jewelry valued at $700 from the home of George Bruce, 1421 Trin- idad avenue northeast. The loot in- cluded two watches, two bracelets, two brooches and several rings, leav- ing nothing behind.
