The only expense will be the placing of permanent partitions in the auditorium classrooms, and the equipment of the auditorium, laboratories, studios and shops,—approximately $10,000. * * * * * _Public School 5_ has twenty-seven classes in nineteen regular classrooms, a good auditorium and two portable schools. Four classes are now using the auditorium as classrooms, with only curtains for partitions. There is play space in the basement play-yard for six classes to play at once. By removing the portable schools a satisfactory outdoor playground can be secured. The basement has a fine shoproom, large enough to accommodate two small shops. In these shops and the nineteen classrooms, with the auditorium and play facilities, thirty-two classes may be accommodated by using sixteen of the most desirable rooms for classrooms. This is five classes more than are now in the school, and thirteen more than the capacity of the main building on a five-hour single-school system. The cost of moving the portables should be charged to the school to which they are moved. The cost for equipment and remodeling should be approximately $5,000. * * * * * _Public School 32_ has sixty classes in thirty-eight classrooms, with one workshop and one cooking-room. Five classrooms and one cooking-room are now in a gymnasium with only curtains for partitions. Three classrooms are unsatisfactory basement rooms, one is an unsatisfactory attic room, and twelve classrooms are combination auditorium and classrooms. By placing permanent partitions in the combination auditoriums, twenty-nine satisfactory classrooms and five shoprooms may be secured. The gymnasium and play-yard are ample for a large school. The building is close to Bronx Park for large outdoor play-yard and for gardens. The present site can be enlarged without great cost. I believe that it is desirable to make Public School 32 a seventy-two-room school, which will enable it to accommodate twelve more classes than are now in the school. An annex should be built containing swimming-pool, auditorium, five shops, and seven classrooms, costing approximately $100,000. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ III SUPERINTENDENT WIRT’S REPORT ON THE REORGANIZATION OF PUBLIC SCHOOL 89, BROOKLYN, NEW YORK. _Showing the Adaptation of the Gary Plan to the Usual School Plant_ THIS school was the first to be reorganized in New York City under the Gary plan.
