formed of the reason why the Board
of School Directors think it necess-
ary to make such a considerable ad—
dition to the Public School Build=

heating and ventilating system, and
to make such other alterations as
these additions necessitate, all at a
possible cost of some $15000.00.
Therefore, it is proposed in this
article to show the need of these ad-
ditions and changes and how it
proposed to supply the need. It is

derstood by making a comparison

rooms are 18 by 26 feet and in this
space are crowded from 42 to 48

dimensions of a modern school room
for 50 pupils, as recognized by the

a floor space of about
