OUR XJ2W CENTRAL BUILDING.

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

walls of the auditorinm will, at

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.
