The New School HOUSE.


Now that this handsome addition
to the substantial buildings of Nor
ris is nearing completion, few
words rs to its merits anu those of its
builder, Mr.. VIM. b. Hancock, will
not he out Of lace. Occupying as it
does. the handsOmest site in town, it
is besides guarantee of the ultimate
expansion of our city limits. From
cellar to the ridge of its HANDSOME
roof, this new school house ,eyinces

full adherence to the plans and speci.
cations, and is in every way an ex-
ample of the improved educational
appliances OF the day
There are four large rooms. two on
each aoof, separated by a spacious
hall way on the first floor. Tho di.
mecslons Of three of thu Sc rooms are
24x2S feet. and Of the other, % feet
square. E..ch class room has its hat
and cloak room, and several apparatus
closets add to the convenience of the
building. a broad stairway of oak
leads to the second floor landing.
lighted by large triple window.
upon which landing the doors from
class and cloak rooms open outward.
This is a feature of all the doors in
the building; they all open outward,
which permits Il ready and quick
emptying IF the entire building
The system of heating and ventikst-
ing fass is arranged either for fur
mace or stove heating, and each room
is provided with two sets of ventilst-
ing registers. The interior finishing
is all notably good; from the ex-
cellent job of hard finish plastering
done by Frank and James Torrey, to
the hoors, doors, and castings, and all
reflect credit on the contractor, who
from first to last has put his best ener
gies into the work, assisted by his
brother Mr.. Frank Hancock. who. as
foreman, hasadded no. little part to
the successful completion of the con.
tract. During the absence of his
brother, Frank has had entire charge
of the work, and how we'll he has dis.
charged his trust an inspection of his
work will show.
The ornate and graceful roof is
quite rs substantial as it is pleasing
to the eye, being supported by eight
lattice trusses, forming a rigid and
reliable framing.
One of the notable features. in the
construction was the ingenuity of
labor and time-saving machines
used by Mr.. Hancock, which en-
ablel him to work to so, much great.
Ell advantage than any one else could
have done. By means of a horse
power were operated saw, sand
screen and other machines. Bricks
and mortar were hoisted by horse
power. thus doing away with the old
time ladder and hod-carrier of our
youth. Intelligent head-work has
done a great deal in not only enabling
Mr.. Hancock to come out whole on
the low estimate under which the
contract was awarded him, but in
giving to the citizens of Morris a
school building to which they can
justly point with pride, as being a
product of the skill Of one of them.

materials. Mr.. Hancock is pushing
the building to completion as rapidly
as possible, he having made a con-
tract with Mr.. L. H. Stanton to
