The dismantling of the old three.

ced Immediately following the closing

Razing of the old building with its
mountain of material, required q
number of weeks and the excavating
OF the basement, the placing of the
footings and construction of the foun-
dation and the basement walls a
months or more, and it was late in
the fall of 1909 before the walls were
completed. The coming of severe cold
interfered with the completion OF the
cement roof and was abandoned for
the time being. Construction was re-
sumed as early this spring as prac-
ticable.

The Building.

The exterior of the building is strik-
ing. 1t occupies the ground covered
by the old building and much more.
1t is practically 100 feet in length by
10 feet wide. The main entraee is at
the north end, but the building ap-
pears 10 front the east on account of
the arrangement of the rooms. The
tower, which rises a little over fifty
feet above the ground level, and in
which hangs and swings the same old
bell that called the first pupils to the
old high school" building since the
early seventies, is also at the north
end of the structure. A new cement
walk leads from Fifth avenue straight
to a spacious landing from which en-
trance is gained. Entrance may also
be had from the south side of the
building, where Is a less conspicuous
approach and landing.
The building Is constructed of brick
laid in black cement mortar, of rein
forced concrete, cement, steel and
glass and is absolutely fire proof. AS
little wood was used in the finishing
as could be managed by the builders.

The Opening.

The opening of the new building to
the people of the city, that they might
have opportunity of making personal
examination of the school before 1t
was given over to their boys and girls
was a good idea. The school board
took this means of showing what had
been done and that Oskaloosa has one
of the finest public school buildings
in the land The modern school has
little in common with the school of
olden days. Modern sanitation and
the rules of giving perfect conditions
to several hundred boys and girls
coming from all parts of the city,
vary, have been advanced over old
methods. The laws of lighting and
heating, ventilation and acoustics In
schools are better understood today
and all that is best, tried and proved
has found place in the new school.
And this is what the people found in
the building when they took advant.
age of the opportunity granted Labor
day.
Several thousand people passed
through the building and critically
examined its every detail. They were
met by members of the school board
and by the teachers of the several
rooms and departments and were eX'
tended every courtesy. They were
shown every department of the build
ing and every detail was explained
