Stltt , Who Designed Original Building , Was Present at Board Meeting Last Night Says Old Foundation Is Worth $6,000. The Norfolk board of education has asked architects to submit plans fora tow high school building to the board vlthln the next ten or twelve days for ts consideration. This action was tak en at n board meeting last evening at which the members-elect , Messrs , Dcg- nor , Dean and Shlvely , were present by request. Architect J. C. Stltt at the instance of the board presented plans for remodeling the old building on the present foundation. Ask For Plane. Near the close of last night's meet- ng Dr. Suitor moved that the secre tary of the board bo Instructed to ask irchltects to submit plans and estl- nates for a high school building with a high school assembly room to seat about 300 pupils , with recitation rooms ind with four grade rooms ; the entire cost of the building , Including heating , plumbing and blackboards , not to ex ceed $35,000. Before the motion was put to a vote II. C. Matrau wished to > o assured that the motion did not signify that the question of using the old foundations was to bo dropped from consideration. When it was stat ed that plans for rebuilding on the old 'oundatlon ' would bo considered In com- letltion with the other plans , Dr. Sal- or's motion was carried unanimously , rho architects will be asked to sub- nil their plans on some date , within ho next ten or twelve days. Stitt Makes Estimates. Acting on the Invitation of the board , I. C. Stltt , the Norfolk architect who leslgned the old high school building , vas present at the mooting and pre sented plans for remodeling the in- erior arrangement of the old building , at the same time utilizing the old foun- lation. By these plans four or live oems of regulation seating capacity ould bo secured on the flrst floor and 'our ' recitation rooms , an assembly oem and a super'ntendcut's ofllco on ho second floor. The assembly room would afford 3,200 square feet of floor space as compared with 1,800 square feet furnished by the assembly room n the old building. The room would seat some 205 or 228 pupils , according to the standard used in measuring caL paclty. Could Rebuild at $28,000. Mr. Stltt said that the old building with a remodeled Interior could be re built on the old foundation for $28,000. This would Include heating , plumbing and blackboards. The stone founda tion , which ho valued at $ C,000 , could not bo used to advantage In a new building on account of the studied Ir regularity with which the stones were orlglnallly cut. "Wo are not building for today or to morrow but must at least consider the next five or ten years before us In re building a high school , " declared one member of the board last night. It was urged that Norfolk must prepare herself to care for a high school of 300 pupils within the next few years. The enrollment at the high school was 12D last year ; this year It Is 158. There arc cighty-flve members of the eighth grade this spring , twentythreo mem bers of the graduating class. Some members of the board think that the enrollment may reach 200 next year. The growth and development of Nor folk will bring more students to the school . Recent high school legislation will also Increase the attendance , It was urged last night Argue Against Old Foundation. Against any plans presented so foi for remodeling the old building on th ( present foundation It was urged thai the assembly room arrangement would not bo satisfactory , that sufTJclent means of exit wore not provided tfrom the assembly room in case fjf llr 01 panic and that the basement was not deep enough to permit iti * ° be fur nlshed off Into rooms wherfScsired foi gymnasium , manual training and othei purposes. Some doubt has also but * raised as to the condition of the oM foundation , men working about It havIng - Ing declared that the mortar work originally used In building the walls J ( and foundation of the old high school building was of poor grade. No Building Befpro Winter. It Is generally feared among board members that the now building can not bo completed before next winter Is well advanced.

Just before the board adjourned last evening a set of regulations wore adopted fixing the necessary qualifica tions to bo held by teachers in tuq city schools and In the high schools. The publication of these rules was withhold for the present. It wna stat ed , however , that they were prepared by the examining committee and were based on the requirements of a recent legislative enactment , nlso that the rules had already been virtually In ef fect In Norfolk.
