PANIC PROOF AND fIREpRooF.
DIR. Skilton feels that physically the
new structure offers every convenience
and facility that the most exacting parent
could desire. ''In building the school, =
he said, 1--WE have aimed TO make IT alb
solutely panic proof. We believe that we
have succeeded in eliminating any danger
that might come to children from such a
source, but above all parents can realize
that here there is no opportunity for any
danger TO happen to the school IN this re-
gard Second, we have tried TO make the
building as healthful as possible. and in
order to effect this we have provided the
most scientific ventilation system and
construction that allows for the maximum
of light. Thirdly, we have tried To add To
these necessary physical requirements the
attractiveness of the best school archltec-
ture and interior finishings."
In various places about the building
are bulletin boards whereon 1t is planned
by DIR. Skilton to place the various notices
that are of interest in school life. The
policy of keeping the children thoroughly
informed on everything pertaining to
school life is in line with DIR. Skilton's
plans for creating among all the scholars
the best kind of school spirit. Tho honor
system will be in vogue in the study room,
frequent talks between the student body
and the staff viii be the features of the
forthcoming year as they were last year,
and in general the plan will be adopted of
arousing healthy interest among the
boys and girls IN the various things that
pertain TO the school family life.
There has been the greatest attention
devoted TO securing rs fine teaching staff

forthcoming wear will be a most notable
one in the history of the institution from q

the men and women now members of the /
faculty are such as 10 insure not only the
highest proficiency in teaching. but also
the stimulation of the highest ideals among
the children.
