Perhaps as a matter of record, a brief description of the new building may be in order.
The building is two stories high and has six unit school-rooms of sufficient size to accommodate 42 pupils. In the basement are the usual toilets, and two playrooms, one at each end of the building, one for the boys and the other for the girls. These open directly out of doors. Children who arrive at school early in inclement weather may go directly into these rooms. The pupils also enter the building through these rooms during damp weather and mud time in the Spring. The greater part of the dirt usual in school corridors is thus left in the basement.
The heating plant and coal supply room are located between these two play- rooms. The heating system is a combination of direct and indirect which is a more economical method for our New England climate. Two medium sized boilers furnish the steam, but it is only during the severe weather of winter that both need to be used at the same time.
The ventilation is taken care of by a gravity system. The dampers in the ventilating stacks are so arranged that during nights, Saturdays and Sundays, the air instead of being thrown out of the stack is passed to the fresh air chamber,

REPORT OF NEW WOODVILLE SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE
access to the outside air being then cut off, and passed back into the schoolroom. We make a large saving in fuel by this plan.
The first floor has the following accommodations: Principal's office, with toilet and lavatory; a kitchen with running water, gas-range, and cupboards, and a good sized closet; a hall, large enough to seat 275 with a stage and two ante-rooms. At the rear of the hall, above the ceiling of the front corridor, is an unfinished space which was planned as a booth for different kinds of pro- jection machines.
The roof of the hall is built strong enough to make this space available as an open-air room when the Town sees fit to have such a room.
The second floor is divided as follows: three school rooms, with coatrooms for each; a teachers' rest room with toilet and lavatory; an emergency room with simple equipment; a storeroom for books and supplies; and a small room available as a Library.
The finished grading in the front part of the lot is practically completed. Much of this work was done by residents of this section on Saturdays and holi- days.
We hope this building may be used as a civic center for the people of the com- munity.
We thought when we planned this building that it would take care of the school population of this section for several years, but we should have built a large schoolhouse as this one is already full.
A list of expenditures follows, showing the divisions of cost for the building.
