NEW SCHOOL IS
SURE TO PLEASE
New Building at South AmbOy
Has Many Excellent
Features
IN SnrcinI Correarondent.

~ 0RNEAat SVffESF0AaSNs
SOUTH AMBOY, April 10
Through the courtesy Of George b.
Foley, the superintendent of the con-
struction of the new school. which is
being erected by the yoss Contracting
Company, of Yonkers. the EVENING
NEWS reporter was shown through
the entire new building. and every
feature worthy of mention was fully
described and explained, yesterday
afternoon.
The first explained was the heating
system, which is known as the indirect
heating, whereby air is taken from a
shaft running from the top of the
building into the small room, where
the ventoes are heated to a certain
temperature. Then by a large motor
driven fan. the hot pure air is IAN
ned through the various ventilators
running through the rooms of the
building. thus doing away with the
use of any radiators.
In every room in the building there
is constructed a book case, a teachers
closet and a wardrobe for clothes. In
the science room-chemistry and biol
ogy-small dark rooms ave been
built where experiment requiring
darkness can be formulated. In con-
nection with the science rooms. there
is also a lecture room where the pu-

regard to their various science studies.
All the rooms are flooded with light,
coming from numerous up-to-date
windows, which in some rooms form
the entire side wall, and are all piv-
oted and when closed are brought into
a tight fit by a spring constructed
in the frame work of h window.
The windows can be entirely reversed
when washing.
Fire proof is the first n last
word, in the new school. All the stair
cases are of entire fire proof concrete,
as are the corridors throughout the
building. In order TO make the corri-
doris safe they are rested IN large
iron beams, there being six of them
vide for an exit from every room. No
fire escapes are required on this build
ing, as fire exits are provided in every
way, and in some instances, the pu-
pills can make their way out of a
window to the. roof, which VIII lead
them across the concrete bridge
which connects h new school with
the old one, and then find refuge in
the old building exits.
The auditorium which will seat
eight hundred people, is n of the
main features of the building. The
stage will be of such a size that plays
can be given and also two dressing
rooms have been equipped.
A booth for a moving picture appa-
ratus has been erected-all fire proof
at the top of the gallery. The gall
lery is TERED in the rear and sur
round the entire auditorium. The
panels under the stage are portable
in such a way, that when a dance is
held all the chairs and seats can be
moved under the stage. giving the en-
tire spacious hall over to the dancers.
Foot lights will be installed n the
ornamental effects will be all the lat
est. The auditorium car also be used
for basketball and is on the style of
the Perth Amboy Y. M. c. A.
The construction of this school was
started last July, and Mr.. Foley states
that he expects to have the school in
complete readiness by the first day
of June.
