CANADIAN THISTLE MENACE IS REAL COOKING EXPERT WILL GIVE TALKS NEW SCHOOL BUILDING seats, which under the skillful man­ ipulation of Manual Trainer Johnson have been sand pa|>ered and revar- nished until they appear new. Each room has a cloak closet, with ventil- ating devices, and umbrella raeks, and othei conveniences. The vacuum steam heating system will be used to heat the rooms. The blackboards are of slate and will last indefinitely. Cork strips appear above the black­ boards, giving space for displaying the work of the students. Each re­ citation room has enclosed shelves und drawers for teachers’ supplies. On the south side of the buildii g. and almost midway, is a library room, which is well lighted and inviting. Toilets alt situated at each end of the hall, and will be sanitary. The girl’s playground is on the south side of the building, and that of the boy’s is on the west side of the boiler room. The sideroom adjoining the play ground in each instance is heated for the early comers of both sexes. The boiler, which is located on the west side of the school, is separated from the main building and is heavily concreted, making the tire huzard ex­ tremely light. A kitchenette is also on the south side of the building, with a swinging table, upon which will be placed the two« or chocolate hot drinks or the hot soup, which is issued to scholars who bring cold lunches. The idea is in the interest of hygiene, which teaches that child­ ren should have something warm to eat or drink at the noon hour. These light foods will lie served from the kitchenette. Two large rooms in the northwest part of the building can. by the arrangement made, be thrown into one large room, large enough to accommodate two hundred persons. The building is surmounted with a tile roof, and the last eoat of paint on the outside of the building will be a terra-cotta to harmonize with the col­ or of the roof tile. A flag pole. fi4 feet in height will lie erected near the main entrance, from which "Old Glory” will daily kiss the morning breeze. Everything in hardware on the outside of the building win be of copper, which does not rust. The contractor states thut the Liberty school will constitute the largest copper job in the state. Every door in the school will be fitted with a check oil valve. The windows are of plate glass.
