Ct ‘H E 1 1314 MR V M it. The new Science Hall at Knox Col- lege contributed valuable features for our laboratories. Davenport’s study rooms were copied, as well as the arrangement of the Office suite. The Library, Train- ing Room for out-door athletics, and the Program Rooms, which can be entered directly from the street, are original fea- tures, as we failed to find them satisfac- torily provided in other schools. The new Hyde Park High School in Chicago, cost- ing nearly a million dollars, was a great disappointment, and yielded nothing but horrible examples of what not to do. The limited amount of money at our disposal and the circumscribed area of the building plot made it impossible to include some very desirable features, such as a swimming pool ; but the $200,000 voted will give Moline, when this building is completed, class rooms and laboratories to accommodate 1,000 students; an Audi- torium seating 1,050, equipped with a modern stage on which can be given plays of the better sort ; a Gymnasium larger and better equipped than any in this section of the country ; a lunch room with kitchen equipment capable of taking care of all demands upon it ; lecture rooms admirably arranged for the use of either students or the general public; and the whole building possessing an outlook from its windows surpassing that of any high school building in the state. Elsewhere on these pages will be found snap shots of the new building in process of construction from the day last Octo- ber when the mule teams with much bray- ing began to fill in the track below the terraces — the scene of past athletic tri- umphs — with earth scooped from the hole in which was to be built our new Gymna- sium — the scene of basket ball victories to come. At the present writing (late April), the brickwork is rising rapidly and cutting off our view from the Library window; and Mr. J. L. Simmons, the con- tractor, gives 11s reason to believe that we may move into our new quarters next February, in time for the beginning of the the new semester. Our old building will be immediately occupied, and pretty well filled, by the Central Eighth Grade stu- dents, who will turn over to the pri- mary grades their present home — the high school building of twenty years ago. if the experience of other cities with new high school buildings may be taken as an indication of what will happen here, the new building will be used to its full capacity within eight years, and it is quite possible then that the present building will again be called upon to provide for further expansion.
