gard to the installation or an aue-
quate system of ventilation be in
stalled in the high school building
Whatever the ultimate intended use
OF this building, ventilation system
should be Installed without delay.
1T is recommended that the board
confer with an architect concerning
the immediate installation of com
plete system of automatic tempera-
ture control in the old high school
building. ...
1T is recommended that additional
toilet facilities for both boys and
girls be installed. The following
standards should be kept in mind in
installing this material: There
should be toilets provided for each
sex on each floor in we'll lighted and
we'll ventilated rooms. Preferably
the ventilation system for the toliet
rooms should be independent from
the other ventilation system. There
should be one toilet seat and one
urinal for each twenty-five boys ana
one toilet seat for each fifteen girls.
Towels and lavatories should be pro
vided for each sex in the same or
ad joining rooms.
For Other Buildings.
cit Is recommended that the old
thigh school building after being reno
,vated and brought UP to modern
standards be used as an intermedl-
ate school for the eighth grade or the
eighth and ninth, after the new hlgh
school is ready for occupancy. For
the next few years or until the new
building approaches it's limits or
capacity it seems that the nlnth
grade should be retained In the
senior high school organizat ion. AS
the new building grows crowded 1t
| is likely that the time will be ripe
for a complete intermediate school
or Junior high school organization
comprising grades seven, eight and
nine in a new, modern building. Thus
| the immediate and the ultimate prob
! lens of the schools will be quite
adequately met.
at is recommended further that
/ the manual training shops and do
nestle science rooms now located IN
the Mckinley building be removed
from this building and be installed
| in more convenient rooms in the Ola
high school building for the use OF
the children to be housed there. Inc
new high school building should con
tain complete equipment for use OF
the high school students working IN
these two branches.
Raze One Building.
at is recommended in view OF the
extremely unsatisfactory nature OF
the heating, lighting and ventilation
of the Mckinley building that it be
RACED and that the space now occu-
pied by it be made available for the
;children of the George Washington
school for playground purposes.
at is recommended that an AIDE
uuate suite Of rooms in the old hlgh
school building be reserved and htted
for the use of the board OF education
