Sccond-5ome OF the plans provide for only one cor
rdor each nOor for both and girls pass through
in going 10 and from the assemby-room the classroom
etc Deceney and modesty demand separate corridors
for girls and boys.
ThirdA number OF the plans have open wellsto STAIR
ways dangerous in case OF fire or panic The Greenwich
Avenue School horror must not DE forgotten.
