60 feet one story in hight, and divided into
two class roome. The seats are single and of
the most improved pattern. They are ar.
ranged in semi-circulsr order, so that each
one will face toward the teachers desk. This
l' considered an improvement on the old
method OF seating school rooms. Black
boards have been placed on the four walls
IN each room, thus providing ample space
Tor the illustration of exercises. Oae of the
most notable as well as important features in
the erection ot this building is the ventila-
ton. The Building Committee adopted what
it believes to be the best system extaut. The
Board have secured the right from the inven.
tor to have this system applied to all the CITY
school buildings. The principle upon which
1T operates is to carry off the foul air at
openings made in the base board, and these
connect with air fues extending to what is
called thu vomitorrm," between the ceiling
and roof, the vitIated air then passes out
through an ejector. Sixteen of these veptils.
tors have been placed in this new building.
Inc Board Of Education consider this one of
the finest. although not the cestIiest, school
buildings for its size in the city. It will be
ready for occupation in about a week. Sead.

about 80 500
