It was then too late. The daily assaults upon the windows were resumed. The other case was an attempt to establish a model school park in a block where more than four thousand children at- tended day and night school. The public school and the pro-cathedral, which divided the children between them, were to be allowed to stand, at opposite ends of the block. The surrounding tenements were to be torn down to make room for a park and playground which should embody the ideal of what such a place ou...ght to be, in the opinion of the com- mittee. The roof garden was not in the ori- ginal plan except as an alternative of the street-level playground, where land came too high. The plentiful supply of light and air, the safety from fire to be obtained by putting the school in a park, beside the fact that it could thus be "built beautiful," were con- siderations of weight. Flans were made, and there was great rejoicing in Essex Street, until it came out that this scheme had gone the way of the other.
