Der 4th.

The high school pupils and instruc-
tors will assemble next Monday morn
ing for the first time in the handsome
and modern high school building.
While the building is far from COM
pleted Supt. Elliott deemed it wise to
move into the portion finished and re-
lieve the congestion in the Bickel
school, which from now on will be de-
voted to grade work. The desks and
school furniture were moved on We'd
nesday and when the school convenes
Monday morning the work will go on
with no interruption.
The workmen will still hold sway in
the building and it is expected that
work on the present structure will not
be completed until January. After
that time the contract for the finishing
of the wings will have been let and
the work pushed as much as possible.
In the meantime while space has
been arranged for the whole high
school, yet many of the arrangements
must of necessity be temporary. A
visit to the new building by the Times
reporter was made worth while
through the courtesy of Supt. o. M
| Elliott, who personally conducted the
tour of the building and spent much
time in showing just what would be
done for the pupils in giving them ad-
vantages of modern school building
On the second floor two large rooms
on the front will be occupied by the
commercial department, which has
sixty students and the second and
| larger room for the general study
room where desk space for one hun
dred and fifteen students has been pro-
vided. In the north corner of this
floor will be installed temporarily the
chemestry and physics laboratory, la
ter to be moved into permanent quar-
ters in the north wing under process
of construction. Two rooms on this
floor will be used for class rooms
Opening off from this floor at the real

will seat $50 of the total $50 which the
big room is estimated to hold. Al
present the auditorium is in the hands
of the workmen.
On the third floor directly under the
dome is large room which will be
used for the art department
The first floor contains four class
rooms, which will be used by the var.
ious instructors until the permanent

whole building is completed. On the

office of the superintendent with g
small waiting room and larger office
equipped with handsome furniture
desks and filing cabinets. In this Of
fee will be held the sessions of the
board of direcors and separate heat
ing plant for this portion allows the
fires to be shut off from the bic
building except during the school ses-
sions. A fire proof vault built into
this office will provide for the school
records.
Supt. Elliott, who has built up a re-
markable system in the schools, gave
