PHONE HIGHLAND PARK 388 125 North St. JohnshAvgnue: $10" _ Two Story Front The front part of the building is two stories high, but the class. room portion is on the main. floor only. This arrangement is excellent, not only from a teaching and administra- tive standpoint, but assures absolute safety to dhe children from tire oi panic and does. away with the nec- essity of climbing stairs. This: one story idea permits a system of over- head lighting ,by which any .amount of. evenly distributed, light may be admitted to each room, the light be- int regulated by ‘means of movable metal blades or louver; plated/bis- twebn the ceiling windows and the roof pf heavy Embers having 8 fire- proof covering. ' _ $2 THE PRESS Across the front-id the building on, the main.ttoor are two class rooms, a nurses room with adjacent toilet and bath, the school omce. the main kindergarten room, and two main ell-1 trances. From the south entrance through a vestibule and luMav, we reach the kindergarten. This fine high ceilinged _ room with its oak beams,. colored walls, richly textured fliro.r covering, large open fisplaee and sunny pool, should be iurinspira- tion and leave never to-be forgotten memories with the children who are fortunate enough to have used it. This room has benches, storage cab- inets, etc., for class work, teaching and story telling. A visitors gal- lery at one. end opens from the second floor leirelairt overlooks this interest- ing room. All glass here is a special imported kind which permits all the vital¥alth giving rays of tgle sun to pass hfouglr. This _is T no true of the ordinary type of windirw-glatss. The kindergarten' work 7- will be car- _ried on in. this room together with a second one bt equal ,ips which opens from the first", where there are many cases and. euptroardsitldintr blocks. saisdrb6xei, etc. .. - ."

Adequate Heating _ In general each room in the build- ing is heated by air which has passed over, steam coils and forced iutofhe vrooms by means of a motor driven blower through. ducts and fluea. The aircomes directly from the outside (and the' quantity is proportioned to suit the number,of pupils in each room. The temperature is maintained automatically by thermostatic control so that an adequate amount of prop- erly heated air is always assured. _There] is an ,intercommunicating telephone system connecting every room in the building,mnd a clock sys- tem connecting. every room in the tsuitdinf, and a clock system with a control which automatically tings the signal-gags to start and dismiss classes.
