MODERN STRUCTURES ARE SECURED FOR STILLWATER AND HAZEN DISTRICTS
(Communicated)
The new school building almost complete and ready for occupancy for Stillwater school district helps to mark an epoch in building and in school design and construction of district schools in this locality.
The school board is to be congratulated on the selection of the site which is located not only to meet the present needs of the community but will also meet the requirements of future expansion.
The three points essential in the design of an efficient school build-ing—namely lighting, heating and ventilating—have been adequately contemplated so far as funds are available. The best practice in unilateral lighting has been developed to meet the requirements of the plan and in the school rooms the results demonstrate uni-lateral lighting at its very best. Provision has been made so that the installation of a modern type of heating and ventilating plant can be accomplished as soon as funds are available without the expense of any structural changes in the building.
The plan consists of two school rooms each with seating capacity for the maximum number of pupils that can be taken care of by one teacher and adjoining the west one of these ti rooms a third room designed as a school room to be used now for social center purposes. The two last mentioned rooms can be readily thrown into one auditorium by the use of accordion doors which sepa-1 rate them. These rooms are all accessable separately from a central hall through doors specially designed for this class of school work, while the hall is well lighted and has a rear exit which can be utilized for future extensions of the building. As the building has been provided for protection from the weather. Two separate units of cloak rooms with a combined capacity of the auditorium have been provided while the other school room has been provided with a specially designed ventilated wardrobe.
The extension of the building has
a simple classic treatment. The con-
struction is of wood frame with thorough insulation and the fact that I Mr. I. H. Kent executed most of the contract for the work speaks for its quality.
A similar building was recently completed under similar conditions at Flaxen and the school boards of the two districts by close cooperation unquestionably have got results not otherwise obtainable.
A great deal of the credit of these two buildings is due Professor McCracken who suggested that the two districts cooperate and act as one business unit as far as possible and whose efforts with the architect, Mr. Mallis, in securing thoroughly up-to date buildings were tireless. With this starting point and by unremitting work, these two school boards I have procured for their districts, bet ter designed, better built and cheaper buildings than could have otherwise been secured. Under the existing war conditions building has been extremely difficult and these boards have earned the especial thanks of their respective communities.
