Work Begun Two Years Ago. About two years ago work on new stern was started. Delays, some which were inevitable, made the progress of its construction slow. Early last December, however, lhel building contractor announced the completion of his work and the new structure was subsequently accepted by the District Commissioners. The job of installing the furniture and Pquipment was then begun in haste in order to have the building ready for cy, if possible, at the begin- new scholastic semester. ern stands on & command- P four city blocks bounded by 17th and 19th streets and Iast Capitol and B streets northeast, Sast itol _street.

The &ppror».rlu.t(nn for the equipment totaled $250,000. accommodate e cipal Hart believes that it will care for comfortably 300 in excess of this number. Mr. Hart expects to enter the bullding with an enrollment of 1,300 and by the beginning of the now school year in September is of the opinion that the :chool will have a student body of about 1,600. On the ground floor of *hs building is a branch of the Public Library, which will begin operation when the school ie opened. The Publio Library will be separate and distinct from the school llbrary which is located on the second floor. One of the unique and distinctive features of the school 's a kupple horizon or cycloramic dome, & novel device for giving unusual’ lighting offects. It is built across the rear of the stage in the auditorium. Other features include a gresa and r use of students pur- urse in biology, and & mechanical automatio telephone sys- tem which will enable teachers and officials to communicate without the ald of a central tor. The aut>- matic telephone tem, however, will not be completed for operation for some time. In the basement or ground floor s located a lunchroom with a capacity for 900 students, which will be oper- ated on the cafeteria plan; two gym- nasiums (one for girls and the other for boys), an armory which, in ad- dition to being a rendeavous for the cadets, 15 a store center for rifles, belts and other necessary equipment: a laundry which will be used to clean Choosing A Dentist . s eatel ua GOOD HON 8T STRY OU.
