 the construction of the new building or disposed of as may be found to be most advantageous. There is some talk of the school being dismissed before the end of the present semester, so that the new building may be well under way by the middle of summer as hopes arc entertained that the new school will be completed and ready for occupancy at the beginning of the next term Archi- tect Fitzpatrick is hastening the comple- tion -f the working drawings e.essary for the obtaining of estimates, which are being called for This new struc- ture will be most pleasing addition to Prescott's architectural efforts. attrac- tive and chaste, of brick with tufa trimmings, with the exception of the basement story, which will be of con crete construction. It will be loceted in the center of the school site, just back of the present building, and will be constructed throughout in the most substantial manner, the details show ing simplicity combined with quiet cl- egance, designed to produce the most effective results. Internally as well as externally the plans have been designed with good judgment and correct taste, forming a very attractive whole. The plans call for a two story edifice, with tsn foot bass ment underneath the whole building, containing heating and ven tilating plants wet weather play rooms. lavatories and toilet accommodations for pupils, janiIor's quarters and other space which may be useful in a variety If ways. The building will have a frontage of lS0 f5et, with depth of S2 feet, the first floor containing six class rooms each 3Sx27 feet, 13 feet in height, provided with boys and girls separate clOaks rooms. There will be q teachers rom for every two class rooms also a general reception room for teachers. with every cnvenience In the way of lavatories and toilet accommodations in connection herewith. The principals room, 24xl6 feet, will be the last apart ment on this floor, situated centrally so as to be of easy access from any portion of the building. The main ac- cess to the building will be from two south entrances approached by hand some porches only one step above grade at front of building; will be loo feet apart, leading through vestibules tJ what might be called the central cor ridor, which, with staircase, halls. etc, In connection, will average l6 feet in width, thus affording ample ingress and egress for the eco pupils that this structure is intended to accommodate. The stairWays will be six feet in width and continuous from basement to up per rooms, with landings at the half fsyht will also contain six class rooms and Is to be very similar in design to the first ncsr. with the addition of library room and a teachers general retiring room. Two large rooms 25x33 feet each, have been provided il roof forming. two distinct features externally over the two entrances, as they will have ths addticn of covered balconies, add ing very materially to the artistic out CT appearance of the structure. as well as forming most useful compartments within. The leve! plot in front of the building will be gradually terraced or graded to natural level of the lots at sides and rear. Special attention has been given to the heating and vcntiia- tiln of this structure, being deemed a [ the latest improved and most modern system has been adopted. The heat to be employed is steam, using indirect radiation in class rooms. and direct ra- diation in corridors and ether rooms. The building will be fully ventilated by heated ducts connected with each room so that each pupil may be supplied with thirtY cubic f5et of fresh air per | minute. This building is a most nee essary addition to the rapidly growing needs of Prescott's increasing pJpula- | tion and will fill a long want. as the l present school accommodations have ' been found very inadequate to meet the | requirements in that respect. and we | expect it will be also "a thing of beauty and a joy forever"
