WON'T" SHORTEN SKIRT quarts, 50c SCHOOL PRINCIPAL WHO DOESN'T LIKE OILED FLOORS DECLINES PROSPECTIVE ADVICE. Oiled floors are gaining in favor among the public school teachers and principals. At the opening of the pres ent school year, only four principals out of the sixty in the city were willing to approve the system of oiling floors and now more than one-half are converts to theoil idea. W. H. Adams, superintendent of buildings, has recently obtained the opinions of nearly all the principals, and finds that at least thirty of them are in favor of oiling as a measure of clean liness. I seems to be generally con ceded that the oil catches and retains the dust of the schoolroom, and that the air is cleaner on that account, and this consideration is a paramount one in the opinion of most of the principals who favor it. About twentv-eight principals appear more or less opposed to the use of oil, but of these, twelve or thirteen favor the use of oil on the hallways and stairs, but not in the schoolrooms, leav ing only about fifteen who object to having it anywhere. The big obiection and the only one raised in a maiority of the schools is that the oil on the floors is taken up by the dress skirts, ruining the garments The answer to this objection in Boston was that the teachers should wear short skirts and anticipating such advice here, one principal rather defiantly announces "My skirts are as short as I can wear themthree inches from the floor." One principal complains about injury to her shoes, another that the oiled floors are slippery, another that the oil smells badly and must hence be unsanitary. Several say that the oiled floors seem black and dirty, and urge good old-fash ioned scrubbing once a week. MORE GIFTS FOR THE POOR Humane Society Receives Presents for Distribution.
