But the bustle meant the end of a school era. And it was adults, not children, who bounded up the three flights of stairs. An estimated 300 persons poked through boxes and closets during a five-hour Inspection of the school and its contents, which go on the auction block Saturday. "We never expected this many people," said Stanley Wilbert, a long-time associate of Rumson auctioneer B.C. Coats. '> Coats will offer the first of 426 separate lots of clocks, desks, hardware and miscellany accumulated during the 87-year-life of the borough's only elementary school promptly at 9 a.m. Saturday.

The contents of all 14 rooms will go on the block, followed at the last, by the sale of the four-story building itself. Built in 1892, the school was declared by state Depart- ment of Education inspectors in 1976 to contain 24 "haz- ardous and unhealthful conditions," ranging from "too much wood" in the basic structure to antiquated lights Dithei, all waihed.
