liil inches high, hlled and oiled, ivith four shallow drawers for paper, pencils, 

 slides, etc. Across the northeast end and along two-thirds of the northwest side of 

 the room, is a plain oak wall-table twenty-four inches wide, supported by brackets, 

 and of convenient height for work when the students sit on stools twenty-eight inches 

 in height. The other tables, nine in number, accommodate four students each, 

 and are placed in convenient positions with regard to the light ; six are placed 

 with the end to the wall table, but with a sufficient passage-way between. The 

 other three are similarly placed, but nearer the center of the room. There is 

 also a plate glass aquarium 10x16x27 inches, placed well toward the south- 

 east end of the room. 



On account of the number of students, it is necessary to have them work by

twos. The wall table accommodates fourteen students. The lower tables accom- 

 modate thirty-six students, who receive their light from the upper part of any 

 convenient window, and from over the heads of those working at the wall table. 

 This, owing to the height of the windows, is a very economic apportionment of 

 space and light, and is very satisfactory. On the side of the room opposite the 

 windows are a radiator, a large reference table 85 x S4 inches, two oak cases 14S 

 inches high, 60 inches wide, and 20 inches deep, with glass doors and si.\ 

 drawers, a ventilating shaft, and a hat and cloak rack where students who work 

 after hours may leave their wraps. The remainder of the other side of the room 

 not occupied by the wall table is devoted to plant boxes, a general experiment 

 table, and radiators. At the southwest end of the room are a blackboard, and 

 a door that opens into the store room.
