The war was brought home to th*
Detroit board of education in its

when Inspector Jus* ph S Effingham
appeared in th*- uniform of an ofll

Mr McColl. or the engineering
Arm. admitted that fher* was # an
error In the r port. because his part

notes and had to rely on his mein

Dr John S. Hall declared that ihe

hoaid voted *’• to 1 to defer the
whole question of ventilation until
the hoard of health had reported the
results of its investigation info the

Or Hall questioned thr vague
manner in which some of the (tents
