118 MAY 19, 1872 GRASS VALLEY UNION
perfect and thorough ventilation of a room can only be accomplished by the natural currents of the
atmosphere—blowing in on one side and out at the other. We know that many shudder at the bare
mention of the word draught; and yet this is nothing else, though done so gently, that no evil effects
are produced, such as accompany a sudden and violent draught.
With these principles in view, we would have every school house constructed large enough to
give each pupil a sufficient quantity of air, and with means of thorough ventilation, so as to keep the
same constantly pure. We would have the ceiling of every school house at least sixteen feet high,
doors and windows on opposite sides, and the latter of sufficient proportions to reach within at least
three feet of both floor and ceiling. In addition we would have a few small apertures near the floor
and on opposite sides of the room, instead of at the ceiling where they are now usually placed.
There are several other matters which naturally enter into our subject, as well as details of the
foregoing that must necessarily be considered in a full exposition of our subject; but our limits forbid
us to extend our remarks, and we hope that these hints may have the effect of directing the attention
of the public to a question upon which their interest and welfare largely depends.
The Truckee Republican, in noticing the action of the Teachers’ Institute in reference to the
educational columns in the Grass Valley UNION and the Nevada Transcript, favors the movement
and offers to the teachers of Truckee a column for educational matters. We regret the oversight of
the Institute in not appointing an editor for a column in the Republican, and hope that the Truckee
teachers will not be slow in accepting the Republican’s kind and liberal offer. Brother Frink must
not suppose that he is excluded from our educational column. Our column is not exclusively for
pedagogues; it is for teachers and friends of education, among whom we are happy to count not only
the editor of the Republican, but all other editors.
We shall be glad to hear from brother Frink, and shall give his communication due prominence.
And in this connection we extend a hearty invitation to all the pupils of our public and private
schools, to all private students, and to all who take an interest in the cause of education to favor us
with solutions and problems which they may meet with, and to give us their views on any and all
subjects of an educational character. We wish to make this column as interesting and instructive as
possible and to this end we invite and solicit the aid of all who sympathize with our effort.

LOCAL BREVITIES.—Nevada city is getting ready to celebrate the Fourth of July. A meeting is
to be held at the Court House next Monday evening to consider the matter.
The German pic-nic comes off to-day at Ismert’s grove, two miles east of Grass Valley.
Martin Murbar has taken charge of the San Francisco market, one door above the Skating Rink,
on Main street, and Martin knows how to keep a market, you bet.
Isaac Sanks is the champion building of ice cream. He does not use “split milk” and a little
corn starch to make cream. He has the genuine cream itself. This he manipulates with skill
after having flavored it to suit cultivated and delicate palates. You can bet always on perfect
cleanliness of that cream. We have tried it and we know, and some other warm day we shall
know much.
A REPRESENTATION PARTY.—The Transcript says;
On Thursday last, Mrs. L. B. Davenport, of this city, had a tea party on the occasion of
