NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Hymn of Dedication 
Thou who in wisdom didst create 
And bless with love our humankind, 
Assist us while we dedicate 
This temple sacred to the mind. 
Let Knowledge unto Wisdom grow 
By slow degrees, and more and more 
To higher levels rise, that so 
Thine image, lost, we shall restore. 
Let Order reign — Heaven’s primal law— 
To curb the course of wayward youth, 
And sweet persuasion gently draw 
The callow mind to love of Truth. 
Be Knowledge taught in love, not fear, 
Obedience by compulsion mild, 
The text unblurred by childish tear,— 
While spared the rod, unspoiled the child. 
Loyal to Truth, to Man, to God, 
Here let fair women, noble men 
Be trained in paths of Duty trod,— 
Wife, Mother, Brother, Citizen.

THE NEW BUILDING. 
Description of the John Price Pri- 
mary School Building. 
The John Price Primary School 
building in Manchester, dedicated 
last Saturday, and used for school 
purposes for the first time this 
week, is proclaimed by the archi- 
tects and builders to be the best 
that could be built. In the building 
is embodied everything to make the 
structure up-to-date and modern 
in every sense of the word. 
In giving a description of the 
building it might be said first of all 
that the need of a new building has 
been agitated for some few years, 
but it took no definite form till Su- 
perintendent C. E. Fish took charge 
of the schools. He 
in his report, in 1905, that some 
action be taken, and the attention 
of the: town was called to the mat- 
ter at‘the March meeting. At an 
adjourned meeting, March 20, I905, 
it was voted to purchase the Mor- 
ley, Flatley & Co., Lucy Carroll and 
J. J. Winn lots at a cost of $8300. 
Plans were prepared for a building 
by Cooper & Bailey and by An- 
drews, Jacques & Rantoul, the lat- 
ter’s being accepted after a lengthy 
discussion. Ground was broken in 
May, a year ago, but actual work 
on the building was not started till 
six months ago. 
The building stands on land fac- 
ing the corner of Norwood avenue 
and Brook street, there being car- 
riage entrances from either of these 
streets to the ends of the building, 
while the main entrance faces the 
corner. 
The building is painted white, 
with green blinds, and has a cupola 
The extreme length of the structure 
is 107 feet, and width 66 feet. The 
central and main body is 45x32 feet. 
The height from sill to coping is 
39 feet, while from the weather 
vane to sill is 64 feet. 
From the corner leading to the 
main entrance is a concrete walk, 
with the flagpole standing in a cir- 
cular space about midway. The 
flagpole, by the way, was present- 
ed to the school by Gardner M. 
Lane, a member of the summer 
colony. Quite imposing, indeed, is 
the entrance. The portico is sup- 
ported by two large, plain Doric 
columns. ‘The large vestibule is 
finished in white, the ceiling being 
domed, and the sides being laid out 
in panels. It was the original in- 
tention to have plaster casts in the 
two large panels, and four plate 
glass mirrors in the smaller ones on 
either side, but the cost was such 
that it was dropped for the present.

Going from this into the main 
corridor one is at once struck by 
the attractiveness of the place. The 
hall runs the entire length of the 
building, there being steps at either 
end leading up stairs to the assem- 
bly hall, and down stairs to the 
east and west entrances. A radical 
departure is at once noted in the 
finish of the hall. Instead of the 
conventional paint and whitewash, 
the walls are covered here, as well 
as throughout the whole building, 
with the exception of the assembly 
hall up stairs, with fabricona, or 
burlap, as it is more commonly 
called. These are of pleasing and 
harmonious tints, that of the hall 
being colonial yellow and brown. 
The wood finish is of selected brown 
ash. 
The first room on the right is the 
teachers’ retiring room. The walls 
are covered with maroon colored 
burlap, and there are rugs on the 
floor. This is also equipped with 
a hospital couch, a medicine closet, 
a table and toilet. 
Next along the hall is Grade II 
room, Miss Nellie Leonard, teacher. 
The room is 30x24 feet and 12 feet 
stud. The walls, above the black- 
board are of olive gren burlap, while 
the dado is dark brown. Around 
the room, just above the boards, is 
a space for exhibiting cards, and 
other work of the pupils. A cloak 
room opens off this room, as in all 
the other rooms, commodious' in 
size and provided with brass coat 
and hat hooks, with brass holders 
for umbrellas and iron drip pan be- 
neath. A row of steam pipes run 
the length of the room and_ these 
are to be covered with iron grill. 
The walls of all of the wardrobes 
are light green, and a light brown 
dado, with the latter painted, thus 
making it water-proof. Each has 
its individual ventilating system. 
The doors are lifted a little from 
the floor, thus aiding the circula- 
tion. 
Across the hall is located Grade 
I, Miss Norton, with Miss Sanborn, 
assistant teacher. The description 
of this room is practically identical 
with that just described, and the 
wardrobe is the same, with the ex-. 
ception that there is a closet here 
for the teachers’ use. 
Following along the hall is the 
boys’ lavatory. This has an as- 
phalt floor, built up seven inches, 
with round corners to aid in wash- 
ing with hose. In the corner is a 
slate sink, for the janitor’s use, and 
a water fountain is nearby. The 
urinals are of oil slate. There are 
four closets. The ventilating space 
behind these is a new feature.
