How this plan works out in detail for a school unit of eight classes may be shown by the following program, which was used in the Jefferson School when Superintendent Wirt first came to Gary. The Jefferson School has been described as a conventional school-building, which was adapted to the Gary plan by the institution of shops, gymnasium, etc., and the conversion of classrooms into laboratories and studios. The program shows how a small eight-room school, ordinarily accommodating three hundred and twenty children (forty to a class), may, with a small auditorium, playground, attic gymnasium, and basement shops accommodate two duplicate schools of eight teachers each, with a total of six hundred and forty children. The first column gives the teachers,—grade teachers for the regular studies of the eight grades, and special teachers for the special activities. The second column gives the rooms where the work is conducted; the other columns give the distribution of time. “1X” means the first grade of the “X” school; “1Y” means the first grade of the “Y” school, etc. The program shows the ingenious distribution of classes throughout the school and throughout the course of the day,—six hours in this case, to which one hour and a quarter must be added for lunch-time. ─────────────────────────┬─────────────────┬───────────────── Studies │ Forenoon │ Afternoon ────────────┬────────────┼────────┬────────┼────────┬──────── Teachers │ Room │90 min. │90 min. │90 min. │90 min. ────────────┼────────────┼────────┼────────┼────────┼──────── 1st Grade │Classroom │ 1X │ 1Y │ 1X │ 1Y 2d Grade │Classroom │ 2X │ 2Y │ 2X │ 2Y 3d Grade │Classroom │ 3X │ 3Y │ 3X │ 3Y 4th Grade │Classroom │ 4X │ 4Y │ 4X │ 4Y 5th Grade │Classroom │ 5X │ 5Y │ 5X │ 5Y 6th Grade │Classroom │ 6X │ 6Y │ 6X │ 6Y 7th Grade │Classroom │ 7X │ 7Y │ 7X │ 7Y 8th Grade │Classroom │ 8X │ 8Y │ 8X │ 8Y Music │Auditorium │ 1Y 2Y │ 1X 2X │ 3Y 4Y │ 3X 4X Drawing │Basement │ 3Y 4Y │ 3X 4X │ 1Y 2Y │ 1X 2X Literature │Library │ 5Y 6Y │ 5X 6X │ 7Y 8Y │ 7X 8X Science or │Basement │ 7Y 8Y │ 7X 8X │ 5Y 6Y │ 5X 6X manual arts │ │ │ │ │ │{Attic │ 2Y 1Y │ 2X 1X │ 6Y 5Y │ 6X 5X Physical │{Playground │ 4Y 3Y │ 4X 3X │ 8Y 7Y │ 8X 7X education │ │ │ │ │ (2 │{Attic │ 6Y 5Y │ 6X 5X │ 2Y 1Y │ 4X 3X teachers and│ │ │ │ │ principal)│{Playground │ 8Y 7Y │ 8X 7X │ 4Y 3Y │ 2X 1X ────────────┴────────────┴────────┴────────┴────────┴────────
