Features which should hould be ba Incorporated Incorporate in the model high school are pointed out ou In suggestions from Superintendent D H 1 Christensen of ot the Salt Lake schools In Ina Ina I Ia a communication to the buildings and an grounds committee of the tha city board o of education and a meeting of the com cots committee committee will be held early this week to t consider the points brought out by the th superintendent Embodied In the report roper are points which were observed by Su Superintendent Superintendent Superintendent D H ChrIstensen on his re recent recent recent cent tour of tho the high schools of oC sev say several several eral oral of the large eastern cities and other oHio points which have hae come to him through long and careful study of Jt what the model modE high school should contain In 10 the first place the superintendent bases everything upon the needs of o the Hi individual class and community inter interests Interests ests zeta of the school and holds that the th building should be constructed to con conform conform conform form to this idea rather than to have hay havethe havethe haythe the shell constructed and then to apportion apportion apportion tion the rooms and other things to con conform conform form torm to the architects view of what the tb building should look like The superintendents suggestions are ar merely for tor the consideration of the board members but it Is probable that most roes of oC them will be accepted and worked out ou as desired in the building of ot the tho new ne high school whose construction and an equipment will cost about Points Considered Essential Some of the points con considered considered COnsidered essential by the superintendent are as follows Local telephone from principals office offic to all rooms Master clock with electric connection with all rooms Drinking fountains on each floor Electric wiring to reach all parts of oi building Gas pipe connection with domestic sal science scIence ence room Vacuum cleaner Light In classrooms on three upper floors to come corne from one side only Win Window Window dow light surfaces to represent an area aret about 25 per cent of the floor surface of any given classroom study room or o laboratory Window panes not to have hav havea hava a smaller area than about 8 S square feet feel fe t tech each ech and inside sections of window windon sashes to be b no wider than strength re requires requires quires Stairways to be adequate adequate In width with witt spacious landings and with single middle rail in order that and down coming rail students may conveniently avoid collision and congestion Each Bach class room to have ba ve a small smal dos clos closet cos coset et the th door dor of ot which flushes ushe with wih the th wall wall Natural Natura slate blackboards to be bo used in each classroom and to occupy the full fuli ful space apace encircling the room Laboratories to o have blackboards at front only Each laboratory to have necessary hoods and flues fus for escape of ot gases and am hoa the th chemical an laboratory to be provided with ventilating facilities for 2100 cubic cubi feet fet of ot o fresh air all per minute for each pu pupil pupil pil pil fl Demonstration rooms for sciences to t have roller roler blackboard of ot three sec sections ions at front demonstration table with hood attachment where necessary and ele elevated elevate ho rated movable platform with slightly vate curved cu d sections for pupils seats Class rooms to have two entrances one oneat oneat on at front and one on at rear rr An A apportionment of floor space and am aman an arrangement of at rooms with the nature of at the school seh ot organization constantly constant in u mind and adequate drinking and toilet facilities on each floor foor will il reduce to a a o the th ec necessity for stair climb climbing ing ag ingIn agin In the preparation of these suggestions th I nave ve assumed that every detail in the construction of the building should be b determined by the te individual the class and md the community needs nes of the school Floor and Basement Scheme In the report given out by the commit committee tee ee Superintendent Christensen Christnsen gives the following t suggestive scheme for the ar arrangement arrangement ot of the three thre floors and base basement basement ment
