ABOUT SCHOOL GRoUNDs.-It is a
pleasure to say that both teachers and
students have entered with considerable
enthusiasm into the project of beautify-
ing our school grounds. Encourage
ment and assistance from parents or
other friends will De appreciated. We
scarcely need argue the desirability of
such improvements. The bare and
ugly surroundings of too many schools
are positively repellent A school
ought to be attractive as the home. If
the young are to be taught to love
knowledge. the tangible and to them
inseparabls concomitants of their in
instruction should be made pleasant
and beautiful When we consider that
our school is largely the home OF $50
children and teachers for nine months
in the year. it is evident that the ex-
penditare of time and money in this
direction will pay large dividends.
Not only should the school building
and grounds invite by their pleasing
appearance, but they should refine aud
elevate the taste by their graceful aud
esthetic decorations. Nothing less is
Justice to the young.

sociation a building has been recognized

sociation building has been recognized
as necessary to the successful prosecu-
ton Of its work. In their charter, Sc
cured from the Legislature in 1854, it IS
provided that "the Association shall
have power to hold real estate in the
city OF Richmond and county Of Hen
rico, for the purpose Of erecting suitable
and necessary buildings for their library
and reading-rooms and schools and or
holding their lectures and public me t
lDgs therein"
MR., MOODY LENDS A HAND.
These hopes entertained by the
founders Of the institution are now
about to be fulfilled. Among the first
to recognize this need in a practical
way was Mr.. Charles f. Whitlock, who
expressed willingness to give $1,000
towards the erection OF suitable
building for the Association. This was
before the present movement was in
augurated. He afterwards gave the
above amount, and in his position as a
member of the Building Committee and
treasurer Of the fund has rendered
valuable service. The desires Of the
friends Of the Association began to take
practical shape, when, in an informal
meeting held by Mr.. Moody, fourteen
gentlemen subscribed sl5,500 for the
enterprise. The fund has since been
increased to over 100000. Much hard
work has been required to reach this
point, and great credit should be given
to Mr.. Howard Swineford, chairman of
the Building Committee, as well as to
Mr.. +. d. Taylor, chairman Of the So

Y. NJ. c. A. BUILDING.
THE ASSOCIATIONS HONE.

Some History or the Y. "a. c. A. OF Rich
mond and n Description OF Their Proposed
Building.
The first Young Mems Christian AS
sociation in the world was forty-one
years old last June. Ths beginning
was very small--a handful Of young
men in the room Of an obscure London
clerk-but the movement has now
spread over every civilized land on the
globe. Elements . Of ptrmanence in
this growth have not been wanting. At
first the Associations in America were
loosely organized, aud depending en-
tirely upon volunteer workers; now
they are incorporated institutions, with
paid officers, and owning property
valued at over four million dollars.
THE BEGINNING IN RICHMOND.
The call for meeting "to consider
the expediency Of forming Young
Mems Christian Association in Rich
mond " was issued by Mr.. 7. Roberts
Baker, who is well known in the COM
niunity as a lifelong friend to the
cause. The meeting was held De-
cember u, 1854, in abe United Pres
byterian church, Sf which DR..
Stiles was then pastor. Suitable
resolutions were adopted at this meet

liriting Committee, for their indefltiga-
ble labOrS.
Our illustration gives very good
impression of the exterior Of the build
irg as it will appear when completed.
FRONT VIEW or THE BUILDING.
The building will be about sixty
feet on Main street by III feet on
Sixth street. Tho entrance is to be at
tie west or highest end of the front on
Main street. The material of the eX-
terror is to be of Richmond granite, in
large blocks with rough quarry faces,
to the level of the tirst-stOry windows.
Above these it will be Of brick laid in
red mortar, with courses Of dressed
stone at sills and heads of windows,
most of the decorations being confined
to wideS bands or friezes of terra
Gotta.
The frst-tloOr windows will consist
of series of semi-circular arches ten
and half feet in width, while the win
dowS of the second and third stories
will follow each other closely between
bands of stone-work. This series of
windows is interrupted at the corner in
order to give solidity to the wall imme-
diately beneath the tower. The main
roof of the building has its ridge run
ming parallel to Sixth street, and is Of
such a slope as to show an imposing
gable on the Main-street front. Imme-
diately on the corner is a massive tower,
which, beginning in a square, and with
two Of its walls flush with those Of the
building, merges. through an original
,ystem Of corbelliDg, into a circular
drum. This is pierced with small win
dows and surmOupted by conical roof.
STYLE OF ARCHITECTURE, &C.
The Sixth-Street front shows the
same system of fenestration as the end,
and the ornament is so arranged as to
insure a thoroughly consistent design.
The architecture is to the fullest ex-
tent free, yet based chiefly on motives
derived from the vigorous styles prevail
ing in Southern France and North
ern Italy during the eleventh and
twelfth centuries. Its prototypes, if
it can be said to have any, are to be
found among the grand old markets or
town halls of Lombardy, as we'll as
with the massive churches Of Auyergne.
In this sense the style may be roughly
classed as Romanesque. The tower,
as the eliminating point, is freer in
treatment, partaking to some extent of
the untrammelled spirit Of the fifteenth
century. The essential motive which
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1886-01-27

binds these elements together is the
marked horizontal treatment through
out, which tends to give the entire edi-
fee an appearance Of solidity and repose
too often lacking in our modern Ameri-
can architecture.
GYMNASIUM AND BowLING-ALLEY.
The interior plans present an ar
rangement Of rooms that for conye-
n ence and adaptability to Association
purposes are second to none in the
country. The basement will contain a
gymnasium nearly fifty feet square, ex-
tending to the second floor, thus giving
a clear height Of over twenty feet. This
will occupy the rear portion Of the
building and will be lighted by the
three arched windows seen in the cut,
and by a corresponding series on the
north and west sides.
Adjoining the gymnasium will be a
bowliDg-alley, and opening from these a
commodious dressing-room containing
lockers for the use Of members. This
floor will contain boys gymnasium
for the use of the junior department,
which will be entirely separate and dis
tinct from that used by the regular
membership. On this floor will also be
located the bathrooms. toilet-rooms,
coal-rooms, and steam-heating appara-
tus, which will heat the entire building.
THE HOME oFTHE ASSOCIATION.
The first 6oor will contain the rooms
most used by the Association, and it is
here that comfort and elegance in the
arrangement OF rooms have been most
carefully studied. Entering the arched
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1886-01-27

door. near the southwest corner Of the
building, the visitor will find himself in
a handsome yestibule, from which
fight of broad, easy stairs leads
to the floor above. To the right
wide door admits to the suite Of
rooms which occupies this entire
floor. The first entered is the
reception-room, which is the key to the
entire building, as from it access is OBJ
tanned to all the other rooms of the
suite as we'll as to the stairway leading
to the class-rOoms above and the
stairway to the gymnasium below.
The pleasantest room will be that used
for reading, which will be located in
the southeast corner, lighted by four
large arched windows on the east and
south. Back Of this is the library,
which extends along the east side of the
building, and is also we'll lighted. The
parlor will be in rear Of the reception
room. This floor will also contain
courtroom, toilet-room, and a passage ad-
mitting TO the gallery Of the gymnasium.
LECTURE ROOM.
The second floor will be mainly de-
voted to large hall, capable of seating
over seven hundred persons, occupying
the rear Of the building, and extending
10 the roof. I'm connection with the
hall will be a cloak-room, ticket-oilice,
a well.arranged stage, and suitable re-
tiriDg-rooms. In the front Of the build
ing will be the room of the junior de-
partment, which will be reached by the
main stairway, from the street, thus
insuring quiet in the rooms below.
There will also be three class-rooms,
with movable partitions, so that the
three rooms can be thrown into one,
forming small hall, where meetings of
various kinds can be held. A room
for the Boafd of Directors and for COM
mittees will be the only remaining
apartments on this floor.
THIRD FLOOR.
The third floor will contain the gall
lery to the hall and the janitor's apart
ments, consisting Of kitchen, pantry,
storeroom, etc. A dumb-waiter will
run from the third story to the base
ment, communicating with each floor.
Detailed drawings and specifications
will be received from the architects du-
ring the present week, when estimates
will be invited from builders. The pro-
posed cost of the building is 1000,
only $4,000 Of which has yet been
raised. 1t is expected that the balance
will be secured before the building is
completed.

A number Of bills were ordered to
be paid and the usual routine business
