TIE PARK STREET scHOoLHousE.

The report of the commission appointed
TO consider the Park street school ques-
tlon is published elsewhere. 1t will COM
mand public confidence on account of the
character and attachments OF the mem.
bers Of the commission and also on &C.
count of the strong array of facts and
arguments by which its conclusions are
supported. The Press has entertained
the idea that 1t might be feasible to re-
pair at small expense the Park street
school building, SO as to meet temper
ariiy tbs DISTRICTS needs. 1t has
seen some advantages in delaying final
solution of the question until thu school
house needs In other sections OF the city
were more fully disclosed. But the COM
missioners unanimously and without
any hesitation pronounced 1.-THE condition

lngs to be such that slight repairing
would be impracticable. or would not
produce desirable results That being
eliminated. the choice lay between remod-
cling and building an entirely new struct-
ure. The commissioners recommend the
former, and the reasons on which they
base their decision seem t o us conclusive.
A twelve-room building, such as has been
proposed ia place of the present structure,
would leave very scanty room for play
ground for the pupils, and Furthermore
its light would be liable to.be cut of in
tine future by high buildings built on ad-
joining lots. These two reasons ought to
be sufficient Of themselves to forbid tie
placing Of twslve-room building on the
lot. A spacious playground is necessity
for primary school, especially for a
primary school located az this one win be
