EXPERIMENTAL SCHOOL SITE.

Building to be on Lawrence Street Near 128th Street.

The Trustees of the Teachers College announced yesterday that they have selected the site for the new experimental school which will be built with the $100,000 given to the college some time ago by a New York gentleman and his wife. The school will be built on Lawrence Street, near the junction of One Hundred and Twenty-eighth Street and Amsterdam Avenue. The building will occupy a plot 50 by 100 feet.

The plans for the building have just been completed by E. A. Josselyn. They provide for a building that will fulfill the requirements with the smallest possible expenditure of space, in order to avoid the necessity of an additional story, and to have as much room as possible in the rear of the lot to provide for good light and air for the rear rooms. The materials to be used are brick for the walls, with stone for the cornices and moldings.

The building will provide rooms and suitable equipment for the instruction of 50 children in a kindergarten and 240 children in the eight elementary grades. Provision will also be made for classes in cooking, sewing, music, and manual training. There will be a gymnasium, baths, reading rooms, and a library, and accommodation for clubs, evening classes, and social gatherings of the people of the neighborhood.
