BEAUMONT PARK.
This School was erected in 1890, and enlarged in 1898.
It consists of three departments—infants, girls, and boys. The
infants' department is a one-storey building and the girls' and boys'
departments are in two-storeys. In addition there is a temporary
iron structure with accommodation for three classes. There is a
separate playground for each department. All the surface is
asphalted and a portion of the boys' playground is covered.
The sanitary conveniences are of the trough pattern and are
not automatically flushed. There is a flushing cistern for each set
of offices. These cisterns are supplied from two large tanks fixed
near the head teacher's room in the boys' Department. A good deal
of the caretaker's time is taken up in flushing the various offices, and
it would conduce to greater cleanliness if the cisterns were made to
discharge automatically.
For the infants (girls) there are 8 compartments and for the
infants (boys) 6 compartments and 10 linear feet of urinal accomodation.
For the girls there are 9 compartments, for the senior boys 6
compartments and 46 linear feet of urinal accommodation.
The school is heated by hot water and by open fireplaces. The
corridors and cloakrooms are heated by hot water. In all the classrooms
there are open fireplaces, but in the infants' departments the
rooms are also heated by hot water radiators. The open fireplaces
are furnished with ventilating grates, and in all the rooms there is an
outlet opening in the breast of the chimney. In the classrooms
of the infants' and boys departments, there is also an outlet opening
in the ceiling.
The ventilation of the infants' and boys' departments is more
efficient than that of the girls'. This is due to the fact that the
latter department is situated on the ground floor, and it has over it
the classroom of the boys' department. The permanent outlet
