...oldtimers, there is nothing new or startling about the "spraying" feature; it has been tried before without success. I well recall, more than 30 years ago, an embalmer who thought he had the answer and drew the wrath of the profession upon his head with his slogan in the trade papers, "preservation without mutilation." As to keeping ten bodies one week in a "well-heated" room, surely there is nothing remarkable in that; a body properly treated even with the agents we've been using for years should easily pass that test...

Of the city's 92 school buildings, 25 were more than 50 years old, two others dated back to the 1850s, and even the newer ones were dingy, dark and dirty. In spite of mounting enrollments, the board had not built a new school in ten years, and only one building in the whole town met the specifications of the state fire marshal and the board of health.
