aoXs, HIGH SCHOL.

Earlier in this article 1t was sald that perhaps the worst conditions op- taining In any school building In the city were those at the Sayre Street school That Is true of buildings erected for school purposes. But the dilapidated condition and apparent neglect of equipment and comfort at the Boys High School Is the worst ex ample of conditions under which pupils work in the city.
 The old Billing mansion at 5l9 cray ton Street, is used for the Boys Hish School Ramshackly and old' with plaster falling from ceiling ana "aiis' heated by stove and without Veh'iIa- tion. the conditions for work are Tar from good. When the building was accepted several years ago by the City Council as part pay on money owing to the city involved m the fail i,.p of the bank Of Josiah Morris X Co., two member of the Council Voteo against its acceptance. It was an old home then, and not fitted for schooi purposes. Today 1t is very .badly Ill need of repair, and the conditions uh der which pupils must work are most unfavorable
 In addition to the regular high school students fifty in number. the eighth grade nupils of the grammar schools from all parts of the city, are also

haps. than any other building in the city.
 The closets for the boys and girls are located about 100 feet from the school building, and are widely sepa- rated. Both are furnished with auto matic flushing appliances. and both were clean. The use of disinfectants in the boys closet, prior to the time of inspection, would have been of ad- vantage, although the condition of the building was comparatively good.
 Discipline is Splendid.
 While the nature of The Advertiser inspection had to do particularly with the phy sical conditions of the build ing, 1t would be unfair to deal with the subject of schools without re- marking upon the splendid discipline and order in each room of the Sayre Street School. Everywhere was to be observed the closest attention of the pupils to their work. and every room was an example of most careful cleant- ness Scraps of paper. pencil shay ings and litter of any sort was not to be found on the floor.
 This statement, while applied to the Sayre Street School, is equally appli- cable to every building in the city. Throughout the entire system was oo- served the same discipline. the same attention to details. the same neatness and the same complete control Of the pupils. It was not remarked 'n single room that the entrance or stranger created more than passing interest on the part of the children. A glance in the direction of the visitor. and the pupils again turned their attention to the books or their teach

CTS, that one more coil of steam heat pipes would furnish the additional amount of heat required to keep the rooms warm during even the coldest weather.
 In regard to the number of pupils in the building, Capitol Hill School suf- fers in the same manner as the other two buildings which have been men, tioned. One grade. the sixth. has the largest number of pupils of any room in the city. The numbers of pupils in the grades follows: First grade, forty five: second grade. forty-five; third grade. fifty: fourth grade. tifty-six; fifth grade. forty-four; sixth grade. forty-seven; seventh grade, twenty nine. In addition to the rooms from which these figures were taken. there Is one room containing a mixed at- endance of first and second grade pu- pills. in which there are thirty-nine
 ''e ton of whom are second grade pupils. and the remainder from the .s. .,raue. his makes d total of ff-
 r-. .s. and seven v-four in the first grade.
 The play grounds of the Capitol Hill School are large and commodious. of- fering plenty of room for the entire number of pupils in the buildings. The closets have both been repaired re- gently, and are furnished with self flushing equipment. Both were clean and kept in good order.

BELLINGER HEIGHTS SCHOOL.

The Bellinger Heights School. which is just entering upon it's third year was the next building visited. It is the latest structure erected by tho city and is one of the most complete in its arrangements. None of the rooms of the building is crowded, tn 2 greatest number of pupils in any one room being forty-two in he fourtn grade. The light throughout the rooms, halls and staircases is good.
 Here again the heating and ventilat- ing system are operated on the sys- tenn of the fresh air entering the rooms. pressing down the stale air, and leaving the rooms through pipes near the floor. The Atlanta Furnace Company installed the system. The furnaces In the cellar were in good is regulated by an electrically opera ted fan in the cellar
 Bellinger Heights, perhaps, has on> of the best locations for a school in the city. With sufficiently large play grounds, and plenty of fresh air, the children are surrounded by health inducing influences
 At this school, however, there has been considerable objection raised to the sanitary connections. AS until recently there has been no sewer in the neighborhood, the pupils have been forced to use surface closets These, at the time of the inspection. were susceptible of great improve ment When the visit was made. how ever. workmen were busy erecting two new brick closets, which are to be fitted with sanitary connection with the sewer. The closets will be loca- ted within forty feet of each other and about the same distance from the school building. According to Super intendent Floyd. it was the intentio I of the Board to have the connection made as soon as the work could be completed. The sewer, which runs along Finley street, was laid during the last summer vacation.

DECATUR STREET SCHOOL. MOst Modern School.

Most Modern School.
 The Decatur Street School, located at the corner of Decatur and Alabama Streets, was the next building visited This school is one of the best and most modern structures, architecturally, in the city. Every room in the build- ing, as well as the stair-cases and halls are well lighted. Although the struc- ture is over six years old. the furnit- ure of the building has been kept In splendid repair. All the rooms are fui nished with adjustable desks. which may be raised or lowered to suit the size and age of the pupils
 t,t" school term this year. considerable juggling of pu- pills was found necessary in order tn accommodate all the pupils without fill- ing some of the rooms above the stand ard number. Decatur Street caught the larger part of the overflow from the was forced to have a number of pupils who really belonged in It's territory. sent to the Bellinger Heights School. In this manner the difficulty presented was settled so that at present there Is only one room in the building which contains more than the prescribed linn 1t.
 birty-six pupils: in the second. thirty- me: in the third, forty-five: fourth, forty-six; fifth. forty-four: sixth. forty
 seventh. thirty-seven; and in the eighth. thirty-eight, all of which
 -'r'" th" bows of this grade having been sent. together with the eighth grade boys of other buildings moreover. are all large and could ac- commodate more pupils. In each room there are forty-fve desks
 The yards of the building are too small to accommodate the children a. recess, Many of them play in the streets because of the inadequate space supplied.
 The heating system in use is the Peck Hammond which has been found so acceptable in the majority of the buildings of the school system. The air in thS rooms Is changed every few minutes. and hot and cold air is sup. piled by fan in the cellar according to the outside temperature.
 Decatur Street is the only building where the closets for the children are interior. On the statement of a prom inent member of the Board this system Is not always found to work satisfac- torily in modern schools In the De- catur Street building. however, there has been no complaint of any kind The closets are located next to the east wall of the building. They are clean and well kept. and although disinfec- tants had not been used. there was no apparent cause for them at the time of the visit of inspection.
 In both the Decatur Street and the Capitol Hill buildings. libraries for the benefit of the pupils have been started and maintained by the teachers with good results. In both buildings, also. there are rooms in the cellar. which. if paved, would make excellent play rooms
