Beyond this is the girls’ lavatory, 
provided with eight closets, slate 
partitions and asphalt floors. 
Next is the room to be used late: 
as a kindergarten. Here at present 
are four board tables and a dozen 
chairs for kindergarten purposes, 
and the room is being used as an 
overflow room from the _ three 
grades. 
Across the hall is Grade _ III, 
Miss Carolyn E. Allen, teacher. In 
this room are the electric buttons 
connecting the large bells out of 
doors and in the basement. 
Next in order along the hall is a 
small room, similar in size to the 
teachers’ retiring room. It is in a 
kind of “Alice blue” finish, and will 
be used as a supply room. 
A small, but important thing no- 
ticed in walking up stairs, are the 
very low steps, they being only 6% 
inches. On either end of the hall 
is a landing and from this are a few 
more steps to the upper floor, on 
which is a large hall, 31x46 feet, 
which will be used for a drill hall 
for the children, and for exhibition 
purposes. The walls are in white 
skim finish. The hallways are fin- 
ished in yellow, with brown dado. 
Leading off from these are store- 
rooms for each of the rooms down 
stairs. 
In the basement are the play 
rooms, one in the west end for the 
girls and one in the east end for the 
boys, each. 930x065, feet: «As. the 
building rests on a granite founda- 
tion averaging four or five feet 
above the ground, the light in these 
rooms is excellent. The floors are 
of Portland cement—the best thing 
that can be made. The iron sup- 
ports are to be covered with hair 
felt, and all the steam pipes are to 
be covered so as to offer the least 
chance for the children to hurt 
themselves. 
Between these two rooms is the 
janitor’s “play room,” 25x45 feet, 
and leading from this is a work 
shop, 10x15 feet, with bench and 
tools. The boiler room, too, leads 
off from the large room. Here is 
installed the horizontal tubular 
boiler, rated at 50 h. p., and made 
by the Roberts Iron Works of Cam- 
bridgeport, considered the best in 
the country. The boiler has been 
tested to 150 pounds pressure by the 
inspector of the Hartford Insurance 
Co. with water heated to 125 de- 
grees. The damper is controlled 
by the Spencer Damper regulator. 
The floor of the boiler room is 
brick laid on edge in Portland 
cement. Off the boiler room is a 
coal bin of 50 tons capacity. 
A special feature of the plumbing 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
throughout the building is the fact 
that every fixture has its own stop 
valve, so that in case anything hap- 
pens to any part of the system it 
can be cut out without disconnect- 
ing the rest. 
The building is equipped through- 
out for electric lights, which will 
probably be turned on in the fall. 
There are electric door bells, with 
annunciator in Miss Allens room, 
where are also the buttons which 
connect the two 14-inch gongs in 
the east and west doors, and the 
two 8-inch gongs in the play rooms. 
There is a telephone system con- 
necting all the rooms, and it is 
expected there will be clocks in 
each room with the electric  at- 
tachment to correct the time hourly. 
The desks in the rooms are 
cherry, finished in natural color, 
with iron supports to the adjustable 
seats and desks. The ink-wells are 
of the patent kind. A new oak 
desk is provided in each room for 
the teachers. The blackboards are 
of solid slate and the ceilings of 
ornamental iron. 
One nice feature as to the clean- 
liness of the building is the fact 
that there is no corner between the 
baseboard and the floor, but. this 
is concaved so as not to catch the 
dust and dirt. 
The building is equipped through- 
out with the Johnson shade adjust- 
ers, which permits the whole cur- 
tain to be raised to any part of the 
window, thus giving the best light.
