The Building in Fair Condtion-Changes
in Assembly Hall-The Corps of
Instructors for Ioor-oa.
The public schools of this borough
began Monday morning under some dis
advantages, rs the interior OF the build
ing has not been entirely completed
and the cement walk on Grant street
side Of building has not been laid yet
However, notwithstanding the disad-
vantages, the school starts out nicely.
There were 5lS pupils enrolled the first
building now the scholars will have to
watch the clock closely or they will
be late at school.
AS the school year closes June lat, IL
will only be possible to have seven
months school during the school year,
but not withstanding this fact II Is like
ly that school will be continued until
the latter part Of June.
Following are the names of the in
structors and the room each one has
been assigned TO: Principal, G. w.
Lenkerd; assistant principal f. T. Nc
Clure; Room No. l3, Margaret Daily;
No. II, Julia Kirk; No. II, Anna Kunes;
No. 10, Lulu Black: No. ., Minnie
Whitmore; No. 8, Margaret Butler: No.
I, Nellie Daugherty; No. 9, Susie
Schultze; No. 3, Ollie Ross; No. 4, Mary
Patton; No. 3, Myrtle Geist supply
teacher, Edna Lewis.
In some respects the public school
building IS better than it was before
the fire. There is no difference In the
outside appearance of the school build
ing now and what 1t was before, except
ing the roof, there is no belfry on the
building now. The heating system,
Mills Mechanical Hot Air System, we
believe is superior to the system used
in the building before the fire. The
temperature will be regulated by the
janitor. There is u Thermometer In
each room and by Il thernograph In
the basement the janitOr can know the
exact temperature of the rooms. The
thermograph is operated by electricity
and is similar to the keyboard in u tele-
phone Office. II the janitor wants to
know the temperature OF room 10, for
instance, he places the key on No. 10
and presses the electric button and the
temperature is registered before him.
The large fans that drive ip the fresh
hot air and carry out the foul air, are
run by gas engine. The exhaust pipes
are run under the ground so that there
will be no annoyance from the exhausts.
The school rooms are about the same
as they were before the fire.
The most radical change is In Assem-.
bly, hall. The floor has been raised SC
those occupying seats in rear Of hall
will be able to get good view of the
stage. There are two galleries, one on
each side of the room. The entrance
to gallery on Grant street side ID
through the physical laboratory at tor
of stairs. Entrance to other gallery is
on Main street side of Assembly hall
Two iron posts, about half the size 0l
the wooden posts that were so annoying
to people who happened to get seats
near them, have been put in near the
stage. The hall will be lighted with
electricity and the lights are so arrang
ed that they will not annoy people
Besides the foot lights on stage there
will be lights above the stage that can
not be seen from audience room.
Three rooms have been finished OF
Main street side of building of from
Assembly hall. One off from stage will
be used as dressing room for perform
I ers off from that room, running par
allel with Assembly hall, room has beer
: prepared for chemical laboratory, ant
back of that is another room that viii
likely be used for ladies' room.
