DESIGN FOR BOARD SCHOOLS. MR. GEORGE W. WEBB, A.R.I.B.A., ARCHITECT,
READING, ENG.
This design was prepared in competition for schools near London, but,
owing to a mistake in the date for sending in designs, it was too late
for the competition. The plan is on the central hall system for boys and
girls, the hall being 110 feet by 54 feet, and top-lighted. Fourteen
class-rooms, each 30 feet by 20 feet, are provided, each divided from
the central hall by movable glass screens. The infants' school, lodge,
etc., form detached buildings. The total cost was estimated at L16,000.

METHODS OF REDUCING THE FIRE LOSS.[6]
[Illustration: OLD DOORWAY AT NEWPORT R.I.]
The liability to injury by fire is a hazard inherent to all buildings,
and this danger is a constant menace whose threatening destruction of
values imposes upon the owner a persistent consideration, which endures
as long as the building stands.
