New Building Nearing CON-
pIetion and Splendid Corps
Of Teachers Selected
SPLENDID EQUIPMENT

| That the schools of the city will
open on schedule time, September 8,
is assured by Supt. W. D. Blaine and
members of the school board. All is
in readiness and everything points to
very successful school year with a
splendid corps Of teachers and with
the completion of the new building,
better equipment than Glenwood has
heretofore enjoyed.
While the progress on the new
building has not been satisfactory to
the school board, it is expected that
school will begin on schedule time
The Junior High School students will
begin their school year in the new
building. The grades from one to six
inclusive will use the old grade build
ing the first month or until such time
as the new building will be completed
throughout.
| The second floor of the new school
building viii be ready for occupancy
September 6, and the Junior High
School students will be placed in the
rooms that they are to occupy through
out the year.
When this building is completed it
will be one of the most modern and
splendid school plants in the state.
The building is very similar to the
Junior High School at Sterling, Colo.
In some respects it has marked i'm
provements over the plant at Sterling.
From the standpoint of arrange-
ment, the building is ideal. An audi
forum and gymnasium equipped with
all that goes to make it real center
for school and community occupies the
large wing to the west This auditor.
ium will accommodate nearly a thou
sand people and is equipped with pic
ture booth and a well arranged stage
and dressing rooms.
Leading from the gymnasium there
are locker rooms and shower baths for
both boys and girls. On the same
floor and contiguous to the auditorium,
are the domestic science rooms. These
rooms are on the south and so ar
ranged that they can be used in a
splendid way for serving refreshments
in the large gymnasium and auditor
ium when social affairs are given.
On the opposite side Of the hall from
the domestic science rooms are tho
manual training and drawing rooms.
In the south wing on the lower floor
is splendidly arranged music room
with small stage. There are in addi-
ton to these special features on the
first floor five roll rooms for primary
children, toilets, office for superin-
tendent, lumber room, pantry, and in
structors' rooms.
On the second floor are twelve class
rooms, two instructors rooms, recep-
/ ton room, clinic suite and study
room. All of the rooms are ideal as
to sanitation, lighting, ventilation and
general arrangement. All of the cor
ridors are spacious, well lighted and
have built-in cloak space. All of the
rooms have built-in book closets and
cases. In short, the appointments and
conveniences needed in modern
school have been included in this new
school structure. Men who have made
n study OF school structures say that
the building is practically the last
word in school architecture.
/ Years ago the school architect was
more concerned about the exterior ap-
+ pearance of schools than he was con-
corning the school as n perfect work
shop for the pupils. Today the great
emphasis is placed on the building that
is ideal as to arrangement, sanitation,
and all the appointments that are
necessary to make the school ideal for
school work. In this respect the new
Junior High and Grade School will
rank with the first schools Of the
state.
All teachers have been employed for
the coming year. Mr.. Russell Meehan
Of Denver, a graduate Of the science
departments of Drake University, will
have charge of the High School sell
