New Home for Technical.
With the opening of the high schools
this year the Manual Training School.
popularity known as the Technical
High" will have a new home. The new
building is at the corner of Seventh |
Street and Rhode Island Avenue north
west. The structure is one of the most |
modern of its kind in the country. 1t |
is four story granite and colonial |
brick building, with the interior finished |
in white marble and tile.
AS yet the building, in its present |
is but about half finished, ac
cording to the original plans. Congress
has not seen fit to appropriate enough
money to finish it. 1t will now contain
only about the number of pupils which
are enrolled in the present quarters. 1t
is expected that this year, with the new
and most successful first
years experience, there will be at least
100 applicants for admission who will
have to be turned away.
