DETAIL PROGRESS
ACCOMPLISHED BY
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
PROttKKMN AC(X>NU’L1SHKI»
TOWARD NEW NOME SCHOOL
Fifty thousand dollars for a new
school building at Nome! Not
enough money to construct a
building suitable, to comply with
the requirements} and not enough
money to put up a building which
will last.
Considerable thought and con
sideration has bean given the pro
blem as to where, wteu, and of
what the school building' should
be constructed of. Earlier during
the winter several meetings were
held with committees composed of
three members of the city council,
and three members of the local
school board, in* addition to M. J.
Walsh, a member of the Territor
ial School Hoard for the Second
Division, and several prominent
persons in Nome, connected with
the public and business life of
the city.
The meetings were called for
no other express purpose, but to
gain the opinions, or rather the
'majority of opinions, as to where
the building ithould be located, and
of wthat it should consist. Ac
cording to the provisions of the
appropriations, the city will have
to provide the location and the
furnishings, although, it is be
lieved that the present plans may
make an allowance whereby mon
ey shall he. paid out of the appro
priationtoiwarSTfiHe expence of out
fitting the school.
At the last meeting held regard
ing the school matter, a tentative
-—plan—or plat—st- th« .-building _ was ,|
presented, of course without speci- j
ficatlons, but nevertheless, a de- t
finite plan of what was wanted. i
That plan lias been mailed to
Juneau for consideration and ap
I proval. Here is what ii consists
: of:
I (school to Have so mail) Itooins
; Theire is to be one room each
for the first and second, third and
fourth, fifth and six, seventh and
: eighth grades. Then there is to
ihe a room classified as a general
study hall for the four grades
In the high school, with an extra
recital ioi oom provided. In ad
dition.,! liese, according to the
plan, a om is to be provided
for dom c science, another room
for boys ork shop, and another
for the yirls. Another room is
to be for general soienee, and then
of course a laboratory 'for physics
and chemistry. Augmenting this
will be a large gymnasium which
can be used as_ either as an ath
letic pavilion or as 'Ifn auditorium.
The plan of 1 he gymnasium alone
shows that far-sighted people of
iNome have been busy on this ques
tion. 'It is desired tat such a pavil
ion should be equipped with suit
able space and other necessities,
to provide for almost any tgame
or athletic sport, desired. In addi
tion to this a stage has been ‘al
lowed for and a balcony around
the hall so that spectators "may
witness .either the sports or dram
atic presentations of the school.
As a whole, ftt.e plan of the n > \v
Tnlflding won 1 d suggest, That nPflf
ing of an absolute nature had
been overlooked. These require
ments were listed, not as speci
fications but as things which are
necessary in this city for a good,
modern, up-to-date school build
ing___......
Another matter which received
considerable attention was - that
within the next few years the
population of Nome will he in
