With the increased recognition of children's different abilities youd probably find small, aus- :ere rooms with a minimum of distractions for slow-learning children while, for those who ienm quickly. there would be large rooms with individual study desks, or maybe even cubi- cies, conference table, library and reference areas and an area for experimental work. It's also forecast that large spaces, such as auditorium and cafeterias, which are presently used for perhaps 10 per cent of the school time, could. by use of partitions, serve the school more effectively. To make the interior of the school fit the abilities of the chil- dren standard size classrooms be- come a thing of the past. Rooms of the required size would be created by moveable non-bearing walls. . Speaking to the Ontario De- partment of Education's confer- ence on school design last Sep- tember, Etobicoke's superintend- ent of public schools, Dr. Ken- neth F. Prueter, on the subject of moveable partitions pointed out On the east bank of the Credit 'River sits a modern library. a baseball diamond and in arena. The land for these three com- mumty centres was neither owned nor purchased by the town. It was created by dump- mg fill Into a 13 acre swamp at the side of the river. The arena cost $300,000 to build and the library $125,000, but 1t is evident that the vast majority of towns- people thought of them both as worthwhile projects. What has the town Itself 1c- cdmplised in recent yoga: H that "while it itt clear that divisi- bility costs more than non-divin- ibility, the overall effect is to diminish the cost, increase the utilization and accommodate more sensitively the kind of ‘academic arrangement consider- ed desirable".

Take carpeting, for in- stance. schools which have in- stalled it (and there are some nearby in New York State) have found the initial cost higher than standard floor covering but the maintenance costs lower. New forms and surfaces are being used, such as the ciwul-r design of Lansdowne school in Toronto.
