Capacity, ConTenience, Comftyt, Neat ness, Ventilation, Heahn and Prog ress Studied in its Custructtou Flan Accepted bj Committee, The Standard man has looked somewhat critically at the plan and appearance of the new cen tral graded school buildiLg and feels decidedly proud of it. To begin with, we will say that the old building will be torn away ropt and branch. The new will occupy practically the same ground. We will ask the attentive read er to follow us as we attempt to lead him through its compart ments. Passing through the front en trance we find a hall or audito rium of 34x08 feet. On either side of this we find threa school rooms. Between the first and swcond rooms we find side -entrances. Behind the auditorium there is a stage 15x24 and and just in rear of this is the superintend ent's room 12x18. On either side of this room and stage there is a school room 21x28 making eight school rooms And Superintendent's room. The two rooms, one to the right and the other to the left of the itage and next in front of it, will be provided with folding doors which maybe thrown open to supplement the auditorium. There are two entrances from the rear, making five in all. Prom the rear is a partitioned covered way to the toilet rooms, one for each sex. Prom the front ol the audito rium the two stairways lead up to the second story. There are six school rooms upstairs. The space over the auditorium will be chiefly open, containing balconies around. The auditorium must get its light chiefly from above which will be suitably constructed. The Superintendent may touch an electric bell, calling the teacher from any upstair room, and, he stepping out of his room upon the stage and she out of her room upon the balcony, may converse without haying to pass up and down the stairs. The same provision is made for be low. ! These are four cloak roorns on each story. . j It is contemplated that the walls of the auditorinm will, at sorpo4ime, wmtain cases of books and wib'mcts rr". minora, 1 in.su cqaip oais. . The building williave a base- ment story for a furnace, and every room will bo supplied with an influx of vwuu fresh air, en tering abovo, rrii, vent for the cold air ;ir the floor where this will bo drawn out. There will' I . may b'urn their shoe soles. In each cloak room, howevor, here m is a register at which .the cold feet may be made comfortable before entering the school room. The style of architecture is Old Flemish. It was furnished by Hook & Sawyer, of Charlotte, and was accepted by the build ing committee last Friday night. The next step will be to get the best bidder for the work. Plans have been submitted for two four-room houses for other locations, 'but the lots are not yet secured and plans may be modified by the sites. It is contemplated to have 22 rooms for the white children which ought not to be sufficient, but most probably will- be for a good long while. I0USG ROOSEVELT VERY SICK.
