ABBOT SCHOOL, is YEARS
CONDEMNED, PROVES TRAP
Children Forced to Use Upsuarded Street fos
Playground Old Furnace Endangers

Abbot School. condemned sixteen
years ago. is an example of the
condition of Washington schools.
The Abbot building is exceptional.
as shown In an Investigation
of every elementary school in the
district made by The Herald for
the purpose of placing before the
people of Washington. an accurate
statement of the condition of pub
lie schools In the district.
Abbot school. built forty-seven
years ago, is located In the triangle
formed by the intersection of New
York avenue and L street, between
Fifth and, Sixth street northwest.
The total school ground. formed by
this triangle, Is Ill feet by 216
feet, or approximately $4,000 square
feet. As the building occupies the
center of this space there Is practi-
cally no playground space. Children
play in the streets and on the mar
row space between the building
and the sidewalk. During recess

he janitor places signs on l.
treet to prevent sraffic through
that part of the street used as a
playground. However the police
department has ruled that auto
mobiles may run through these re-
served areas regardless.
H Z. welty. janitor. stated re-
Gently that the signs are q. farce.
TT is just luck that the children
are not run over he said
The building is nine-room.
II is brick structure. In color
dirty cream. Although there is a
crack in the south side of the
building running from the ground
to the third floor. steel supports
have been placed within the school
and apparently the building is In
no danger OF falling.
Fire signs.
In event Of fire 1t is evident that
the school would burn quickly. In
addition to pine floors. soaked with
floor oil. the ceilings of all class
rooms are of pine. and there is a
wood wainscoting from the floor to
the ckboards. Door frames. win
div frames and moidlng are of
wood. An old-type furnace in the
basement adds to the danger.
The ventilation OF classrooms is
accomplished by raising windows. and
by the half-century- -oid nct-sIr fur
mace. This arrangement Is unsani-
tary and does not furnish clean air.
as is evidenced by thick layers Of
dust caked on the air shafts. Ex-
cept in warm weather. when windows
can be raised. pupils and teachers
breathe the dust particles forced
into the rooms through this system
of ventilation.
Stairways in the building are Of
steel and slate construction and ap-
pear to be in good condition. T-nis
feature and the lighting arrangement
which seems to be excellent, are the
two outstanding good points Of the
building.
Dust Fills Rooms.
The teachers room is in a ten
foot hallway. the main passage be-
tween two large classrooms.
While the toilets for cildren are
dark and are furnished with old
equipment. they are not unsanitary.
Both toilets are located in the base
ment and sheet-iron has been nailed
to the ceiling as a protection against
fire. A number Of broken window
panes have been replaced with paste
board and paper.
From the outside the building
looks dirty. There are no flowers
nor grass. the thirty-foot playground
being covered with cinders. When
windows are left open. dust from
these cinders lovers the interior OF
the school. The halls have been
painted dull yellow and are prac-
tically without ornament In the
classrooms teachers have done much
TO add an element OF attractiveness
for the children by decorating the
walls. Otherwise there Is nothing
OF beauty about the building ol
grounds to stimulate the imagina
ton or to create a pleasant atmos-
phere for pupils or teachers.
