A we find the ventilation in this built ing very bad in fact there has been no changing of air at All in most of the school rooms during school hours which according to the Laws of the state of Ohio should be Ever 15 to 30 minutes. A we also find that the out buildings on the Central grounds which if they were taken away would add very much to the bettering of the Central school grounds As by leaving them they Are a nuisance. After taking into consideration the condition of the furnaces ventilation closets we deem it necessary that there should be placed in this school building a new system of heating and ventilation also a new closet system.
