NEW SCHOOL
 
Handsome Structure Erected by the People of New Plymouth
 
New Plymouth, Oct 7 -- C. R. Achber, M. A., an English architect, when 
traveling in this county on behalf of the National Trust for places of 
historic interest and natural beauty says, in Munsey's October number:
 
"In all the cities and townlets I have passed through, there has always been 
some characteristic feature, the making or tending of which by the citizens 
would seem to represent their measure of wisdom or folly, of good taste or 
indifference of enlightened forethought or untutored extravagance."
 
Especially is this so in the matter of educational buildings and in the 
townlets the school building environs represents the wisdom, progressiveness 
and unity of the inhabitants.
 
The people of New Plymouth have shown their appreciation of this in planning 
their new school house.
 
The building has just been completed and on last Saturday the contractors, 
Ryan & Carr of Weiser, turned it over to the school board, a finished product 
which redounds to their ability as artists in their line of work.  It is a one 
story brick 30x50 feet, so constructed as to permit the raising of another 
story should necessity demand it in the future.  The floor space is divided 
into two rooms 18x30, a cloak room 9x28, and a room at the rear 9x9.  The 
latter room is one of the unique features of the school and seems almost an 
indispensable part of the school building.  It is designated as the "Teacher's 
office."
 
School opened this morning with 40 children in attendance.  The school will be 
taught by Miss Lena Whiffen of Caldwell, a graduate of the College of Idaho.
