PLAN FOR A GRAMMAR-SCHOOL.

The plan of the Grammar School shows seven school-rooms on each floor, with hat and bounet rooms, stairways, &c. The Principal's room in each story is 36 × 52 feet, containing an area of 1,872 square feet, and capable of seating two hundred and fifty pupils, without interference with the aisles which lead from the apartment to the rooms of the assistant teachers. The class-rooms of assistant teachers are six in number. They are varied in their dimensions. In each of these rooms seventy or more pupils may be seated. Each floor will

afford accommodations for six hundred and seventy to seven hundred pupils. The rooms are so arranged that the Principal at his desk, or in any part of his room, can have a view through the sash partitions of all the rooms, and of all the pupils in them. The pupils may be so seated as to face the side wall at which the Principal's desk is placed, and by a slight turn of the head their faces may be directed towards the desk whenever it may be necessary. By

throwing up the sash of the partitions, the whole floor may be used as a single room, when addresses are to be delivered to the school, or general orders given. There are two stairways on the plans-one near the front, the other near the rear wall, by which, whenever it becomes necessary, the pupils may be removed from the building in a few minutes.

The doors of all the rooms, and those leading from the building, open outwardly.

PLANS OF GRAMMAR SCHOOL-HOUSE, No. 47, NEW YORK CITY. THE elevation represents the new School-house erected in Twelfth Street, between Broadway and University Place, for a Grammar School for girls. The building has a front of 94 feet, and is 100 feet deep and 4 stories high. It is built of brick, the basement having a brown stone front, well finished, with an excellent architectural effect.

Figure No. 2, is the ground floor, chiefly occupied as the play-ground for the scholars, extending under nearly the whole building, and protected from the weather by doors and walls. In fine weather the doors being thrown open, ample room is afforded for exercise.

The lettering in the plan will enable the reader to see at once the arrangement of the rooms. At the right is the Library and the rooms for the meetings of the School Officers of the Ward. At the left are rooms for the Teachers, and the Janitor, and Wardrobes for the use of the pupils. The water-closets are at the rear part of the building.
