Replacing the facilities at Phillips Brooks House, a nursery school for children of University students will be constructed on the corner of Kirkland place and Kirkland Street, to be ready for occupancy in September.
The one-story building, built of fire-proof materials, will be large enough to accommodate 40 children for the morning session and 40 in the afternoon. It will be fully equipped with slides, tri-cycles, drawing boards, toys, and other accoutrements of such institutions, and will be under the direction of six trained teachers and a woman physician.
A home now occupying the site, which is located behind the University Press building, will be torn down to make room for the new structure. Three large rooms in side and a fenced in yard out doors will be provided for the children.
Made necessary by the increased enrollment of married veterans with families, the enterprise marks a continuation of the school set up before the war in PBH. presumably it will be a permanent feature of the University, although its size will decrease as the presently high rate of marries students falls off to a figure more like the normal registration.
