Boulder, May 15.-The new building
for the school Of the deaf and blind is
at last sufficiently near completion for
occupancy. and .>e school moved this
week from the rcoms on Main street
which have beer temporarily used to
the fine new suilding. Most pt bile
buildings are slow of construction, but
this has been especially so. due to a va
riety OF circumstances that perhaps
could not be avoided. II has been over
two years under construction. The
building is OF brick. with grant foun-
dalton. with granite and red sandstone
trimmings. copper eornice and slate
roof; three stories high, with basement
well above ground. IL has an unusually
fine heating and ventilating plant, with
forced ventilation; has water service
through the entire building and Is light
ed by electricity. A gasoline engine
furnishes power for lighting and venti-
lation.
fine architectural appearance. IL located
on a level tract OF ground near the river
In the eastern part Of town; the grounds
are ample, though. OF course, somewhat
crude at present: however, trees have
been set out. walks and drives arranged
and there is plenty Of water for irri-
eating. The building is vid into
about % rooms: the basement contain
ing kitchen. dining room. laundry. heat
Ing and v%entilating plant. engine room.
storage rooms, bath rooms. etc. The
first floor has offices and reception
rooms for the superintendent and ma
tron, class inc recitation rooms The
second floor is principally taken with
boys and girls dormitories and indi-
vidual sleeping rooms. The third floor
Is at present in one large room unfin-
ished. as 1t is not needed at present.
The furniture equipment of the build
ing In not complete. as there has been
a lack OF funds to be used for that pur-
pose; neither is the special equipment
desired for teaching the deaf and blind
to the best advantage as complete as IL
should be, but they can no doubt get
along very well until there shall be more
money for such purposes.
The present faculty Is composed of
z. 3. Tfllinghast. principals: Miss Til
linghast. matron: Mr.. Divine. teacher
for the deaf: Miss Doyle. teacher for the
blind. There have been rs pupils in at
tendance this year, and with the in
creased room in the new building there
will be more next year. as there have
been applications from some who could
not be accommodated. In occupying
the new building there will not be al
present any formal exercises OF dedica-
ton, and also the usual exercises at the
end of the school year will probably
be omitted, as the work has been some
what broken up during the year by thu
inadequate accommodations heretofore
offered and the work Of moving. Teach
ers and pupils, however. are very mucf
pleased In at last moving into the int
building hat the state has provided fol
this most excellent institution.
