Bor: Rover Corbet? "School Design Is . Proven Practical 'In Scarborough Park School shown on the right, is in process of planning for Whitby under authority of the Board of Education. Five-Room School Like This Planned For Whitby Children Tenders have not been called but this will be done before Jong. Architects Murray Brown and Elton of Toronto de- 'signed the Whitby school, the 'school shown here and 'several others similar. 'Park School that the Whitby Their practicability has 'proven and it was after an inspection of the Kitchener been Board of Education decided upon local requirements. Other modern schools hy the same architects are Centenni Park at West Hill, al at Port Union and Heron Imposing Design The top photo shows the main porch and entrance at the north end of the school. In Whitby a 'similar entrance will face east opening onto Palace street and fac- ing east down Chestnut . Street. Purpose of the sheltered entrance is to cut down the force of bitter north.west winds and provide shel- tered play space. In the Whitby plans the floor plan of the school is almost reversed so many of the architectural features will be posi- tioned practically opposite to those pictured here. Inside the spacious windows are seen translucent plas- tic draw curtaing used in place of blinds. On the left of the smoke stack are seen intake vents through which pure air 1s pumped througn- out the school. The ornalpental plaques shown on the stack are for decoration only. The figures here shown in relief show (at the top) a child prac- tising reading; in the centre is a youngster learning to write at his desk and at the bottom a child is' learning to count on an abacus. Extra Exits Each classroom has its individual fire exit door which is only used in emergency. The dark streak around the bottom of the buff- colored bricks shown at the top picture is where water from the roof has splashed up mud but in the Whitby school, eavestroughs will be installed to prevent this de- facement. Corridors 'are on the opposite side of the school and not shown here} They have a slanting roof set down several feet from the main body of the building and, as can be observed in the upper right, windows about 2 ft, deep allow direct sunlight from the south to enter the room. This "cross lighting" is said to be a very desirable feature of new schools, Each room has blackboards on front and side. Seen in the cross-lighting on the right arestwo incandescent fixtures. It is no yet decided whether these or fluorescent lighting will be used here. Panes on the bottom sections of the windows zlide back to allow ventilation and act as draft de- flectors atl the same time.

WHITBY HOME APPLIANCE | PU > can be seen best in the lower pic- ture. Air Dries Clothes In the rooms, old-fashioned cloakrooms will not be found. En- closed wardrobes are used. When the pupils come in from play, the doors of the wardrobes swing open together on pivots. As in many new schools, a current of warm air is fed into the bottom of these wardrobes; circulates through the clothes and out the top. Puipose of this important feature is to com- pletely dry the children's clothes and remove those heavy odors which have been present for cen. turies as one of the less pleasant characteristics of primary schools. Lower Picture The lower picture also shows the front of the school lying immediate- ly to the right of -the main porcil and entrance shown .above. This second view shows three complete classrooms with their escape doors, the electric service attached to the stack, but the photo fails to in- clude a smaller, rounder porch roof and entrance at the extreme right of the picture. This entrance would be mainly used by the pupils and its roof and shelter is similar to that described at the mann en- trance. The small plumbing vents shown above each room are not from -ihe toilets, which are farther back be- hind the corridor, but are from wash basins which are placed in each classroom. These are not for wash- ing hands but are designed rather for use in the work projects which iorm an. important part of today's educational system. Include a Stage In one classroom will be addi- tional space for a little stage so that the room may be opened out for small meetings or school functions, The stage will be cut off from the room by sl g doors. Space is provided for a kitchenette; there will be a principal's office, nurse's room and rooms for the teachers. Paved entrances will eliminate mucn of the dirt that is often tracked into halls. In the Kitchener Park School the heating plant is below ground but to cut down expenses here, it wili be partially above ground, built on the rear of the school. A Large Project At the present time, no member of the Board is willing to predict when the school will be completed or even begun for that matter, A project of this size has to be handl- ed with care and there is the matter of the plebiscite vote by which a maximum expenditure $125,000 was authorized. Since that time build- ing costs have risen sharply but it is hoped that tenders may be well within the specified amount ob- viating any legal difficulties, How- ever it will be some months yet be- fore that point can be known. In the meantime, the Board of Edu- cation is doin~ every.ning within it~ nower to attempt to have more blic school accommodation avaii- ale within the shortest possible me, 14 b ll THEATRE approved final plans and tenders Plans are being drawn by the architect for a school very similar to this to be built in the northwest section of Whitby. Board of Education has will be called before long. (See description of above photos in story appearing on upper left of this page.) Kitchener Park school is in Scarborough township, north of highway No. 2, north of the Sgirborough Golf Club. __Times-Gazette Staff Photo Whitby News In Brief Accounts of social events, any news item Hd local interest and names visitors are appreciated.
