The Schoolhouse Site.

EDlTOR lSDEPENDEST:-
In the selection OF cite for the new
school building there are three import-
ant facts to DO considered: /. Health,
2. Adaptability OF the site to the scheme
OF civic beauty: 3. Availability for the
purpose OF u school.
Following out this line of thought as
regards Elko, due regard for the
health OF the children will place the new
school anywhere but in a bog or mud
hole. That portion OF our beautiful
town best adapted for this purpose is
the plateau west NJ the business section
OF town. Tue ground is dry, FREQ from
diseasse, easily drained and in all re-
specls the ideal spot from tho stand
point Of health. Think what it means
to the children, play ground that dries
quickly or one TINT remains muddy,
damp and breeding spot for germs, Tor
days and weeks after every shower.
Public buildings should be placed as
far as practical in such position to each
other and the natural lay of the land as
to add beauty and attractlyencss to the
town. a public school building should
be removed from cemeteries, hospitals,
Jails aud business houses. L. should be
where light and fresh and pure air pre-
vail How natural then it is to put in
stitutiops OF learning on the hill, the
ideal spot in all communities. Elko is
no exception to this rule. Secure a
map, locate your public buildings, the
cemeteries, hotels, 8. p. and w. p. De-
pots, and the proposed park and notice
how necessary hill location is to COM
piete the beauty OF Elko.
Again, a hill location adds beauty
to the work Of the architect, causes the
building to appear impressive and grand.
Place this same building at the foot OF
tho hill aud it will appear squatty, insig-
nificant and OF doubtful value. To the
traveller couing into the town, tho
School house upon the hill' catches the
eye ana impiesses HIM with the culture
and Importance OF the town.
A hill location is also adapted to
school purposes in EllSo because it is
near tho present center OF population,
also in tho line Of natural growth OF q
townto the higher, dryer, more sanitary
