    THE WHITE HOUSEWASHINGTONOyster Bay, N.Y.,September 16, 1907. My dear Mr. Muir: I gather that Garfield and Pinchot are rather favorable to the Hetch Hetchy plan, but not definitely so. I have sent them your letter with a request for a report upon it. I will do everything in my power to protect not only the Yosemite, which we have already protected, but other similar great natural beauties of this country; but you must remember that it is out of the question permanently to protect them unless we have a certain degree of friendliness toward them on the part of the people of the State in which they are situated; and if they are used so as to interfere with the permanent material development Of the State instead of helping the permanent material development, the result will be bad. I would not have any difficulty 03944 at all if, as you say, nine-tenths of the citizens took ground against the Hetch Hetchy project; but so far everyone [illegible] has bean for it and I have been in the disagreeable position of seeming to interfere with the development of the State for the sake of keeping a valley, which apparently hardly anyone wanted to have kept, under national control.I wish 1 could see you in person; and how I do wishI were again with you camping out under those great sequoias, or in the snow under the silver firs.Faithfully yours,[illegible]Mr. John Muir, Martinez, California

    THE WHITE HOUSEWASHINGTONApril 27, 1908.My dear Mr. Muir:I have your letter of the 21st. Do not run down those men too much. Benjamin Ide Wheeler and other good fellows among them. I am trying to see if we can not leave the things on the line that you indicate - that is, damming Lake Eleanor and letting San Francisco depend for a generation or so upon that and the Tuolumne tributaries. But of course I must see that San Francisco has an adequate water supply.With regard, believe me,Sincerely yours,[illegible]Mr. John Muir,Martinez, California. 0416

I trust I need not tell you, my dear sir, hom happy wallte days in the Yosemite I owed to you, and how greatly I appreciate them. I shall never forget our three camps; the first in the solemn temple of the giant sequoias; the next in the snow storm among the silver firs near the brink of the cliff: and the third on the floor of the Yosemite,in the open valley fronting the stupendous rocky mass of El Capitan,with the falls thundering in the distance on either hand.Good luck go with you always. Faithfully yours, [ILLEGIBLE]John Muir, Esq., Care of Charles S. Sargent, \u27Jamaica Plain, Mass. Enclosures.[03249] May 19, 1903.

Whatever may be done for them I shall regard as a favor to me. [ILLEGIBLE][03249

    WHITE HOUSE,WASHINGTON.March 14, 1903.My dear Mr. Muir:Through the courtesy of President Wheeler I have already been in communication with you, but I wish to write you personally to express the hope that you will be able to take me through the Yosemite. I do not want anyone with me but you, and I want to drop politics absolutely for four days and just be out in the open with you. John Burroughs is probably going through the Yellowstone Park with me, and I want to go with you through the Yosemite.Sincerely yours,[illegible]John Muir, Esq.,Care of President Benj.Ide Wheeler,University of California,Berkeley, Cal.[03184

    A Study Of Janitorial Services Used In Accredited Negro High Schools In The State Of Texas

    Get PDF
    The public school systems of America have, in many of its aspects, been greatly improved during recent years, along with these improvements, and as a part of them. The adequate operation and care of school plants is responsible work that requires the services of a new-type of intelligent janitor with specialized training. The old conception of the school janitor will no longer suffice. The work of the new janitor assumes a dignity commensurate with the responsibility for the care of valuable public property and efficient work of the school. The rapid evolution of janitorial service from comparatively simple, non-skilled work to that of the skilled and technical type has come so unobtrusively £hat school authorities are as yet but vaguely^ aware of the change, The janitor-engineer of today must be a skilled mechanic, capable of operating machinery and keeping it in proper condition for use. He must be able to handle efficiently furnaces, thermostats, electric motors, gas engines, ventilating equipment, electrical systems, central vacuum cleaning systems, electric scrubbing machines, and the like. The economy dictates that expensive equipment should be properly used and should receive the care which its cost and usefulness warrant. This new janitor largely determines the housekeeping standards of the school building. He is to the school what the housekeeper is to the home. It is the writer\u27s belief that an efficient school janitor will keep his building in order • That marks on the wall or dirt and paper on the premises will challenge his pride. He will believe that cleanliness is next to godliness, and he will desire to do everything possible to put this precept into practice. That is the proper reaction, because children mil then become imbued with the spirit of tidiness and cleanliness, and cooperate with the janitor in keeping the environment neat and clean. Moreover, it is reasonable to assume that if habits of cleanliness and tidiness are learned in school by pupils these habits will carry over to, and become a part of, after-school life. On the other hand, failure to keep the school premises clean and tidy may affect the development of good habits on the part of the pupils
