STRUCTURE JUST COMPLETED
ONE OF MOST UP TO DATE IN
ENITRE STATE
LEADS III ENROLLMENT
Believed to Have More Pupils Than
• ny Other Ward School in Tex-
as—Description of Building
The recent claim made by Dallas
that one of her ward schools had
more pupils than any other in the
State, can now be challenged by
Wichita Falls since the completion of
the new Austin school addition. The
Dallas school had an enrollment of
about 800, while that of the Austin
school is now 916. Prof. W. K. Niles,
principal of the school, believes this
leads any other
Texas.
Among many
grammar school in
other achievements.
Wichita Falls may now pride herself
on having a model school building.
The new Austin school building is one
of the most up to date buildings In
the Southwest, being an embodiment
of all the latest ideas of school
architectural authority. It is practi-
ally perfect in construction, in the
method of lighting, ventilation and
heating. It was designed after a con-
siderable time spent in careful study
if the best examples of school archi
lecture all over the country. Su
Washington anil eminent authorities
were consulted belore the plans were
Irawn up. Pate and Von derLippe of
his city were the architects.
The windows in the building are sc
arranged that light enters from only
me side of the school room and ar
the windows are on the north and
south sides of the building only, the
light never shines directly in the
rooms. The seats are so arranged that
he light always falls over the left
shoulder of the student need ever face
teacher nor student need ever face
he light directly. This system will
prevent a great deal ot the eye strain
which was the result of' the old meth
ds of having light coming into the
oom from two directions at one time
causing cross lights and shadows
The Windbws are placed high and
very close together. In fact one
whole side of each room is practical
y all windows.
Unique Heating System.
The heating system Is what is
mown as the direct-indirect. The
ir is heated by a large furnace an I
s conducted through a large shaft-
Iriven fan whi h distributes the
resh air over the building in equal
quantities. The heated air enters
rough a vent at the top of the
oom. In each room a vent has been
provided through which the Impure
ir is carried out. These vents are
n the lockers or cloak rooms.
Thermostats in each room will regu
late the temperature automatically
lever allowing it to fall-below sixty
one or to go higher than seventy-one.
The heating system is, air far as any-
nin" may be said to be, absolutely
aultless. There will be no more
leaky radiators anil cold building
even in the bitterest weather, so far
is Austin school is concerned, thanks
•o the rapid progress of the science
if heating.
Tn addition to the vents in th’
lockers of each room, a system of
cross ventilation la in use, Insuring
1 constant supply of fresh, sweet
air. The new school building con
tains no separate cloak rooms The
lockers, mentioned before, are In the
back of each room concealed by slid,
ing partitions, the pupils put on their
wraps under the surveillance of the
teacher and the usual whispering and
disorder in .the cloak, room becomes
1 thing of the past. There will be
no more lunches stolen an<l Incident
illy another mode of punishment
must be found for the bad boy, who
was heretofore banished to the cloak
room.
Auditorium is Provided.
There are three floors tn the new
building, which contains thirteen
rooms besides the furnace and toilet,
rooms, ten of which, are recitation
rooms. On the second floor is the
principal’s office, which is connected
to the two adjoining recitation rooms
by sliding doors. These doors can be
opened and a. large auditorium Is
provided. On the third floor is the
library and rest room. The drinking
fountains are of the -most approved
sanitary type and an ample supply of
them has been installed. There is
also ample lire protection on each
floor.
The school building is very attrac-
tive in addition to its other virtues
both from an Interior and exterior
viewpoint. Cement walks surround
the building and the yard Is to be
sodded with Bermuda and flower beds
made. The interior is rather plain
with no attempt at decoration but the
lines are harmonious and the walls
are tinted a soft shade of green
very pleasing to the eye.’.
As far as can be ascertained the
Austin school has the largest enroll
ment of any ward school In the
State, having an enrollment of 916 .
Nineteen teachers are employed is
this school. 4

175 poll tax receipts have been is-
sued by City Tax Collector Harry
Robertson. This is just about the
same number as issued up to the cor-
responding date last year when no
elections were in prospect.
A good many voters were under
the impression that they wouldn’t
have to pay a city poll tax this year
as the new charter abolished the
assessment oi such tax, but the tax
was assessed this year several
months belore the charter election
took place and it will be necessary
to pay it in order to be qualified to
