BOYS’ TECH IS READY;
LUCKIE SCHOOL FINISHED
Marietta-St. Building Has Been Converted Into Tech
nological Department--Fifth Ward School, Hand
somest in City, Ready For Occupancy.
Wh«n the Atlanta schools open Mon
day. September IS. there will be no
sound of hammers and whirring of
machinery In the Boys’ High school to
disturb the studies of the piiplls.
For the technological department will
be in a separate school. The building
which was formerly the Marletta-st.
school, has been converted Into the
Technological Boys’ High school and
there will be nothing to hinder the full
pursuit of this course of study.
In addition to a lack of room, the
Boys High school building was not
suitable for this department In other
JY a y"• ** was never constructed with
the idea of ever housing machinery and
the result was that'it shook when the
machinery was In motion and the pu
pils were disturbed Jn their studies.
Converting tjie Marletta-st. school
Into a building for this purpose has
changed all this and everything Is now
ready for the fall term work to begin.
The pupils who formerly attended
the Marietta-st. school and had their
studies Interrupted by the screech of
trolley and locomotive whistle will be
housed this fall in Atlanta’s newest
and most expensive school building—
The Luckle-'st. school.
This has recently been completed at
a cost of more than $60,000. in addition
to the cost of the ground. Itls situated
at the corner of Luckle. West Pine and
Plum-sts. nnd is equipped with every
requirement and convenience necessary
to a modern school house.
The building has twelve school rooms.
In addition to .. u\ nmn^luin, and is well
lighted with many large windows.
