Auditorium for $50.
Located in the new building will be
a large auditorium, seating $50 persons
on the ground floor and $50 in the bal
cony. A modern stage will be at one
end of the room, and a regulation-size
basket ball court will be included. The
building will have a total of IL class
rooms and about 20 rooms in all. On
the basement floor will be modern
cafeteria, rooms for manual training,
including a machine shop and wood
working room; domestic science room,
etc. A small model apartment will also
be included, which will consist of
bed room, bath, kitchen and dining
room. Girls and boys lockers and
shower rooms are in the basement un-
der the auditorium and basket ball
court, which is also a gymnasium.
The main floor has seven class rooms,
superintendent's office, clerks office and
board room for the school board to
meet in The basket ball court Is on
the stage, something like the arrange
ment at Washington-Lee High School,
Clarendon. The second floor contains
five class rooms, three recltatlon rooms
and teachers room. Toilets are scat
tered throughout the building. No use
will be made of the attic. The present
plans are only floor plans and give no
details of construction.
The building will face 216 feet on
West street and run back 172 feet, and
when completed will make an ell-shaped
school plant, including the three build
ings.
This site was selected some time ago
for the proposed building, since to place
it anywhere else on the large schoo!
tract would interfere with the present
athletic field. AS planned. the building
will not run its full width to the entire
depth of 172 feet. but will have back
section about half the width of the front
in the form of a tee, which will be 10
Gated to the right center. The ground
around the building will be handicapped
and terraced, and two arching stairways
will lead to a main entrance. Con-
struction will be red brick with lime

ALEXANDRIA GETS
NEW SCHOOL PLANS
Drawings Submitted to Board
Calls for S350,O00
Structure.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, December 49,
Plans for a new brick School building
for this city, to cost approximately
$350,000, have been received by the
school board from the architects Office
of the State Board of Education. The
plans are now being considered by the
local board and, while some minor
changes may be made in them. they
have the approval Of the board with
regard to general details.
No announcement has previously been
made of the receipt of these plans,
although the ideas for the school have
been worked on by Supt. of Schools r.
G. BoWton and the other members of
the board for some time. The board
had hoped that the city would include
in the present bond issue of $750,000
enough to take care of the building pro-
posed, but as this was not done the
exact time definite action will be taken
is unknown.
More Room Needed.
At the present time the school sys-
tenn is badly in need of additional room,
and the modern plant proposed would
take care of the needs for 10 years or
more if the present rate of growth of
the city continued, according to Super
intendent BoWton. The high school is
now overcrowded and several rooms of
the old West End School, which is To-
Gated back of the Masonic National Me-
mortal, facing on Duke street, extended,
are being used by high school pupils
for class rooms. A bus is now used to
convey students from the high school to
West End School and back. The West
End School is the property of the
Masons and was to have been razed
some time ago, but after being aban-
doned by the school system it had to be
rented to care for the overflow.
The plans for the proposed building,
as now drawn up, call for the erection
of a two-story and basement building
of red brick to be located at the north
west corner of Cameron and West
streets, between the High and jefferson
School buildings. 1t will harmonic
with the other buildings and will be
connected with them on the first floor
by corridors. This school will be used
for overflow from both the High School
and jefferson School, in which are
located fifth, sixth and seventh grade
students. The building will have the
appearance of three stories on the West

MILWAUKEE, January 3l.-The con-

frozen stiff and buried under tons of
snow in the Wisconsin and Michigan
Northland.
Yesterday, as word began shivering

been Winterbound for days and weeks,
some idea Of the seasons severity was
realized.
Kewaunee, Wis, was one of the places
where the oldest residents were ready
to admit that never before, in their
memory, had there been such Winter.
No Kewauneean was better able to
attest the severity of the weather than
DR.. w. NJ. Wochos. One Of his expert
ences became known yesterday. At
dawn, with the temperature far below

The physician set forth In his ski

after three miles of tedious travel, buck

on foot, f1oundering slowly through the
snow.
Finally he came to farm house and
phoned Beaurain instructions on how
to welcome the stork should the bird
arrive before he did A snowplow was
put to work to cut path through the
advance only three miles, after five
hours. DR.. Wochos, bundled in woolens,
and carrying his instrument case In
many-mittened hands, pressed ahead
on foot, fighting bitter cold and snow
that was waist-high in places. After
several hours he stumbled exhausted
and nearly frozen into the Beaurain
home.
The stork had beaten him, and Mrs.
Beaurain and baby girl were doing as
well as though the doctor had been
there on time.
