A SKYSCRAPEa SCHOOL.
Largest Building of Kind in World
For East Side.

New YORK IFlbune-l
The building of 'skyscraper" school
with accommodations for 800 10 500
pupils Will be begun on the lower east
side in the course Of the next few mont rs.
When IL Is completed il VIII be not only
the first school house of it's tyne but
also by far the largest elementary public
school in existence.
For several years the school authorities
have been considering the advisability
or erecting such a school New public
school No. 62, which is in the course OF
construction on site bounded by Hester,
Essex and Norfolk streets, was TO be
a skyscraper, but the authorities felt
that the public was not educated I'D TO
such school house. and therefore stopped
II at the sixth story. When No 81 is
completed ali the pupils of No. 1871. which
stands in Grand street. between Ludlow
and Norfolk streets, viii be transferred
into it. Then No. 1S will be torn down
and on its site. which is about rs feet
long by eighty feet broad, the giant school
Will be built DR.. George 5. Davis, as
socfate city superintendent. SAID yester-
day after an extended conference with
superintendent Snyder of the building
bureau Of the department of education:
I'VE are confident of the practicability
OF erecting such an enormous structure.
II viii be ten or more stories in height.
and each story Will have about fifteen
class rooms. providing accommodations
for fifty children each, We will move into
the school all the children of the upper
grades from the schools of the Eeighbor-
hood leaving the old quarters for the lit
tie ones.
The structure can be made perfectly
fireproof. nothing being infiammable in
the rooms except the furniture. The
structure will have four elevator shafts.
besides stairways and escala.ors. AL
though the departments al system Will be in
use. the classes as they move from room
10 room can be confined to one or two
floors. There will be no more confusion
than in an ordinary office building. At
the dismissal Of children on the lower
floors Will go out by the stairs. while
those above win use the elevators. There
will be four exists, or entrances. to the
building, on three streets and one ally. III
there is any sign of confusion. the time
of dismissal will be made different for
the various grades. The children who
will use this building will be the older
ones. who know how 90 ACT properly. 1t
will be especially equipped for an evenins
high school.
'The time has come for such schools. In
this section the sites are very expensive
and the population is very dense, A very
large school is therefore measure OF
economy. If the business interests ever
drive the population uptown, we can dis
pose of it."

Of this will be to seriously cuItail the
