I. WHAT ARE THE REASONS
WHICH CALL FOR A NEW BUILD
ING?
6. Actual conditions now existing
at our High school.
The present building was con-
structed more than forty years ago.
1t was built for the possible service OF
two or three teachers and for stu
dent enrolment of rs or 100 pupils at
the outside. When the enrolment
has advanced in more recent times to
100, then ITS, still later to 100, and
this present year to POS, it must be
evident that the congested condition
has now become uncomfortable. Seat
after seat has been added until there
is no longer room for freedom of
movement, or individual study. or
proper opportunities for recitation.
Teachers are actually conducting
classes all day long of twenty or more
pupils in little sitting rooms where
five and seven pupils are sometimes
crowded together on a single settee.
Others are instructing classes of fifty
or more pupils. while at the same time
striving to call forth the knowledge,
inspire the ambition, and regulate the
conduct of the entire class.
Moreover what space actually ex-
lists in the building is badly divided,
planned at a time when all pupils
were expected to study and recite in
the same room. We have long ago
learned how fatal such distractions
of
mind, and how essential such concen-
tration is to study and character, anu
future service.
The smaller rooms all of which
are fit only for consultation and CLOAK
| rooms have been pressed into service
as recitation rooms. And these other
physical necessities of the school are
pressed out into the Railways where
two and three and sometimes four
coats and hats are crowded upon a
single hook, piled up upon the floor or
stairs, or hung over the ratings.
1t is not enough to say the rooms
are wretchedly ventilated. There is
no provision whatever for ventilation,
except by the direct raising and low
ering of the windows. And this meth
3D. considering the number of. pupils
packed into the rooms cannot be en-
ployed without undue and criminal
exposure of the pupils near the walls.
When we consider that the teachers
and pupils have to breathe and re-
breathe this air all day long, we are
tolerating not merely an intellectual
handicap for every one of them, but
are permitting a state of things hostile
to both body and soul. If we have

no higher interest than the physical
efficiency of our future citizenship, we
ought no longer to allow such bar
| barrie conditions to prevail. 1t would
| be far better for us to establish an
open air school upon the Common and
assume the extra expense for pupils
clothing than to allow things to con-
tinue as they are.
Moreover the method of lighting
the building is open to serious obJec-
| ton. This is due in part to the poor
| location of the building, but also to
the arrangement of the windows, COM
polling the pupils to receive their light
in such a manner as to put an I'M
natural strain upon the eyes. when
we reflect upon the ever increasing
number of our pupils forced to wear
glasses and all those nervous disor-
ders which have their primary cause
in eye strain, and realize how these
tend ultimately to functional and or
ganic arrangement of the body, com
mon sense and public health should
compel us to improve as far as posi-
BILE the lighting arrangement of our
public buildings.
The building is badly out of re-
pair. The roof leaks in several
places. The storms beat in around
the windows. The ceilings and walls
are badly broken and stained. There
is crude and cramped and delapi-
dated condition and atmosphere in and
around the whole building. More and
| more We realize how our physical sur
roundings build themselves into our
| ideals. Each days experience shows
anew how these crude or cultured
| ideals make or mar our character and
! determine the quality for good or i'll
I of our future associations and SER
vices to society. For all these con-
siderations our pupils of the High
school age should continue their studies
under physical surroundings which
suggest beauty and proportion, culture
and art, and by no means least of all
cleanliness and health.
! Finally under these unfortunate
and in some respect almost criminal
conditions, our entire teaching force
including the principal himself are
actively engaged for six or seven
periods throughout each day. They
are much oyercrowded and much
overWorked. Mere selfish considera-
tions, if We can rise to no higher
plane, of getting the most out of our
servants, should teach us to provide
suitable rest periods for our teachers,
and the principal of the school should
have considerable portion of his
time set free for the supervision of the
teaching force and for individual con-
situations with various pupils at criti-
cal moments of their student life.
