SELECTING A HIGH
SCHOOL BUILDING SITE
Chosen Location is not Well Situat-
ed and Its Area il Too
Contracted
Ocala, Fla, Oct, -. 1913.

Editor Star: | recently read with
interest in your columns an article
by Mr.. Rooney, in reference 10
change of location for new school
building TO be erected in the near
future
| fully voice his sentiment. and
feel that the board should take heed
and carefully consider this matter
that so vitality concerns us all.
Our present old building which is
soon to be discarded. occupies a
space of 224 by 315 feet.
One would imagine that in our
new location We would occupy much
more spacious grounds but such is
not the case, for the actual size o;
and we'll equipped school building is
to stand is 210 by 234 feet, which
allows 10 feet OF a 30 :oot alley in
the rear, and being slightly over one
half the area OF the old or present
school site.
1t is true that the county also
owns other property in this locality
there being 105 by 224 in the lot
north, also a lot 210 by 224 to the
north of the last named, but are sep
arated by streets intervening, there
by rendering each an integral part
Of what is considered by a great
many persons, to be one lot.
The new school is 10 occupy the
south integral which is 210 feet
from east to west, and will leave
only a space OF about 60 feet. likely
on either side of the building, be-
tween it and the street.
Picture this TO your mind and you
will see that the surroundings are
not commensurate with the commo-
dious and elegant building that it
contains and will necessarily remind
you of the old setting hen that was
told to spread herself in order to
cover up the unusual number OF
eggs which had been given her.
1t will plainly bear out the out-of-
proportion look and the spacious
grounds that should Immediately
surround a building of this nature
will be conspicuous for its absence
1t is true that the lots to the
north will in degree furnish play
grounds for the children, but it is
not desirable or convenient, to have
them far removed, and which is not

so serious as the building site alone.
As Mr.. Rooney says. the grounds
could be sold for probably more than
would be necessary 10 buy a more
suitable site elsewhere.
l believe, however. that a site
more central than the one mention
Ell by Mr. Rooney should be selected.
Now Messrs. Members OF the
School Board. the time is short, but
II YOU think we'll OF the suggestion,
speak TO some of your level headed
friends and see if they are not in ac-
cord with this idea of more spacious
grounds for our school building.
Very respectfully,
