Sordidness . IS ANTIQUATED BUILDING .'An old police ntntlen. with its re minder of crime and attendant pun ishment. Kccms hardly the plaec for school children-, yet mich is the nUnn nUnn tlen at the Reynolds Scheel, Twentieth and Jeffersen streets. Part of the nchoel plant Is in nn old police station just te the rear of the school building itself, nnd there Is xtlll In existence the former ccllroem and bSrred detention room for prisoners. Must off the eellroem Is the present lunchroom for the pupils. Should the deer.'.open the appetizing view of the barred p!nrcn et confinement becomes the scenery for (he observation of the little, ones seated nt the tables, Th'c lunchroom Itself can hnrdl.v be termed attractive. The wnlN nre dingy and the plaster .and paint arc rapidly crumbling. Here nnd I here bigns have been hung te hide the worst spots, but they nrc of Httle avail. The window shades were in such a condition of desuetude that net lung age school of ficials suggested1 that they be taken down rather than have the tern nnd ill fitting adornment nn ever-present re minder of prer equipment. . Building It Antiquated t ' The Reynolds Scheel building proper is an antiquated structure. Built In 1800 at u cost of $2-,!!5. it conforms little te the requirements of modem education. The rooms recelve plenty of light, however, for the building is sit uated en a corner with geed yard space. In 1010 n trade was made with the city authorities. The old school build ing nt Eleventh nnd Weed streets was given ever te use' for the Morals Court of the Municipal Court, and In turn the police station just, te the rear of the Reynolds Scheel was rented te the Beard of Education for ene dollar a year. The school was overcrowded, se the polke station was pressed into educa tional service. The winding, wooden stairs of the old building bear evidence te its inadaptability te Its new use. The bannisters, around which the chil dren swing as they pass up and down, have been re-enforced in many places by Iren braces. Even at that they shaky, and should one give way a bad fall would result. , . Pfrellazarel Is Great . The entire building is in a state of dilapidation, for there has been no re painting or interior repair. On the third fleer is the print shop of the school. The only exit is down .the stairway,' which is ah open well. In rase of fire it is a question just hew the children would get out, as the stair would make nn excellent flue. Rebert II. Tayler, the principal, has done everything in bis power te coun teract tuo-effeets of the building. "It has proved a stumbling block in some cases for us," Jie said, "for-the chil dren attending the classes, in the old station house nre often called 'Jail birds' by the children et the ether building. "Nltunteu as tins scnoel in in n neighborhood where we get children needing better environment than Is evi dent In, their own homes, it produces a decidedly bad effect. -; "I try ie keep the classes away from the sight of the cell-room. It Is dif ficult, as children are. naturally curious and like te view morbid sights. We are using the old cells as store tlaces, for, at least, they ran be kept securely under lock and key.

Al though as bright as the ether rooms, It did net seem that the iron bars en the windows would give the proper inspira tion for children at their recitations," The children apparently do-net mind the situation. They play all around during recess periods and the forlorn appearance of the lunch room -has little or no effect en their appetites.
