Untiring efforts of three men more than a decade ago for a modern high school for the children of Southeast Washington, which would vie in architectural beauty and design with some of the country’s leading educa- tional institutions, soon are to be realized. These men—Henry F. Blair, president of the board of education in 1910 Willard S. Small, former prin- High School, and Daniel A. Edwards, vice president of the board of education—sponsored the initial movement for the replacement of Eastern High School with new and larger quarters in 1910. On a site, four city blocks in size, located between 17th and 19th streets and East Capitol and B streets south- east, the institution of these men's de- signs and dreams is rising. Work on the new Eastern, which has been under construction about a vear, is progressing rapidly. It is expected to be completed and equip- ped for occupancy at the inception of the school vear which begins in Sep-! in} tember, 19, The subbasement. which the ing plant and electrical apparatus will be located, has virtual- Iy been nished. The basement, which is two feet above ground level, is nearing completion. Some workmen are now engaged in placing the front stones of the structure. To Cost About $1,500,000. When ultimately finished and equip- ped. the new Eastern will have cost approximately $1,500,000. It will have between nine and ten acres of floor spuce, with accommodations for 1,500 The equipment for the building, it is about $300,000. The general style of architecture for ; the building will be Tudor. It wul have its frontage on East Capitol street and will set back from the street about eighty feet. The school will be three stories high, including the basement, which will be known as the ground floor. There will be approximately fifty class rooms. Special rooms will be set aside for the use of alumni, fac- ulty and officials. A space on the ground floor will be reserved for a public library, which will be distinct from the school library to be located on the second floor. “This will be a branch of the Public Library, and the first of its kind in a schoolhouse in Washing- ton. Plans have been made whereby i it can be kept open at night with- out opening the entire building. Cyeleramic Dome. One of the unique and distinc- tive features of the new school will or cycloramic dome, & novel device for giving a wider range for unusual lighting ef- fects. It will be built across the rea; of the stage in the auditorium. Others will be a green and hot house for use of students taking the course ir biology, @and a mechanical automatic telephone system which will enable teachers and officials to communiate without the aid of a central opera- tor. school construction in Washington. There also will be an armory for the cadets. In the basement or the ground floor will bel ocated the gymnasiums and dressing rooms. One of the “gyms” and dresing rooms will be for the boys, and the other “gym” and dress- ing room for the girls. Each of the “gyms” will have a balcony. th girls’ with @ seating capacity of 15 and the boys 250. The girls' dress- ing room will have lockers for 1,000. while the boys' will have half as many.

The first floor of the building has been especlally designed for the use of night school students. On this floor will be practically all the short- hand. typewriting and bookkeeping. By this arrangement only one floor will have to be opened for the night classes. The auditorium will have a seating capacity of 1.500. A balcony will seat 500 of this number. It will be on the first floor. The top floor will have rooms for classes in domestic art, domestic sci- ence and drawing. In connection with the domestic art course there will be a model suite, similar to the one at Central High School. The rifie range will be 165 feet in length and will rank among the best in the country. It will have shooting targets. The athletic field will be larger than the one at Central and will be modern \ in every respect. It have at least ten full-sized tennis jcourts. Stands with a seating ca- | pacity of about 4,000 probably will be erected around the field. Defi- nite plans for the stands, however, have not been completed. It is virtually certain that the new Eastern will not have a stadium. % Here is a splendid prop- erty with beautiful grounds and an excellent house where the land it- self is worth practically the purchase price.

Although _agitation for a new school for Eastern was started in 1910, it was six years later before Congress appropriated part of the funds for its construction. The pres- ent site of the new building was acquired in 1916 at a consideration of approximately $225.000. | Plans for ng. Original plans for the building were drawn by Snowden Ashford, former municipal architect. They | \ere later revised and completed by Albert L. Harris, his successor.
