Principal Proud of Si lien!
Mls Kllznbeth M. Fitztnaurice, the
nrincipal, is nevertheless erj proud
of her school. "It may he nn old
building," fhe said, "but let ims tell
you, we hai' the best teacher.", the)
best janitor nnd the best children In
Seuth Philadelphia.
The pupils are hamliruni ed. hew -

which children e ethtr schools delight
In playing.
Unlit in lSflll the Fchoel wa first

Was looked en with pride nst a monu

In the First Section, n the wnrcl was
then termed. The ether two schools
were replaced, but the Weccncoe. a- the
school has been rennmed. will only be
abandoned when the prope-ed new
school is built in the icinlty of Third

cen.pelled te puss single tile down a
twentv-fenr-inch-wlde iron tire escape.
This building was called the Daniel
Webster Schjel when it was built In i

The l.trel Anne is entirely unfit for

two-story structure, with inadequate
washioem facilities, it had betn virtu
ally nbnndened by the authorities.
Seme of the rooms today, hewetcr. hnve
been returned te use for special
classes.
Other Schools Similar
Similar te the Weccacee m lioel is the
old Washington Scheel en Fifth, street
below Washington avenue. -t tuat '
KChoel in mere recent years a new front i
te the building has been constructed.
The entire school is cramped, there (
being restricted play space, and the
adjoining houses are close te the M'luifl
building snuttilig en ugut anu air ireiu
the classrooms.
The Meredith Scheel, nt Fifth nnd
Fltswatcr streets, is little different.
It is u smullT tpe of building, hav
ing four classrooms en each of its
two floors. There are no corridors in
the entire building and pasage from
one part te another can only be ac
complished by passing threugn the
classes. Thi principal, Mis Emma
F. Uredwatet, i, hneei, erv proud
of her school. She takes scrupulous care
that evcrj thing sball be neat and clean
anil that, despite adverse conditions,
the children shall be ghen every op- j
pertunlty possible. ThN building will
home dav be entirelv abandoned.
The (iecirgc M. Wharten Scheel, at
Third and I.emb.ird streets, is listed te
be rebuilt. It has the general d!
advantages In educational lines that
list in most of the old buildings. It ,
la dark nnd dimal nnd there is lack of i
'modern facilities for the personal com
fort and health of the pupils.
