The main building is partitioned into 3 class rooms A. B. C.
Room A measures 420 sq. ft. and is lighted by two windows
from behind, 5 ft. from the floor, and one window on the right situated
7 ft. from the floor.
There are 4 inlets below the windows and two outlets.
Room B measures 502 sq. ft. and is entered through A. or C.
It is lighted from behind by two windows.
There are six ventilating inlets and one outlet.
Room C measures 420 sq. ft. and is entered through A. and B.
There is a window at the back of the room and a fanlight. The lighting
of the main room is not satisfactory. The window area in classroom
A is only one-eighth and of class-room B only one-tenth of the
floor space, and in none of the rooms does the light come from the
left.
Room D is situated off C. and measures 290 sq. ft. The lighting
is by means of two windows situated 6 ft. from the floor, one
from behind and one in front.
There is a ventilator with a louvre opening at each end of the
classroom, the opening of which is regulated by a board which
moves up and down.
The Cloakroom is situated at the western end and has a separate
entrance from the playground.
There is no Teachers' room.
Sanitary Conveniences are of the trough type and consist of
5 separate compartments, and a urinal measuring about 9 linear feet.
Playground. There is a common playground for the boys and
girls' department. Only a small portion in front of the school is
asphalted—the rest is gravel and is very uneven. In the centre of
the playground is a covered portion. On the north and south sides
of the building many of the rainwater pipes appear to enter the
drain directly; and one of these down pipes was defective. The
windows reach nearly to the eaves, and in some instances are quite
close to the down pipes.
Heating throughout the building is by open fireplaces.
The artificial lighting is by gas.
