LABORATORY EQUIPMENT 



A laboratory properly lighted and equipped adds greatly 

 to the interest and value of the study of Zoology. A well 

 lighted and ventilated room on the north side of the build- 

 ing, so arranged as to get but little direct sunlight during 

 working hours is preferable. 



The following equipment, which can be obtained at mod- 

 erate cost, is suggested : 



(i) Tables large enough to accommodate four pupils 

 each, with a drawer for each pupil, with slate or plate glass 

 tops. The number of tables would be determined by the 

 number of students to be accommodated. 



(2) Compound microscopes, at least two to each table. 



(3) A dissecting microscope for each student. 



(4) Scissors, scalpel, tweezers, and two mounted needles 

 for each student. (Students can easily mount common 

 needles for this purpose.) 



(5) An aquarium large enough to hold twenty to thirty 

 gallons of water. Several smaller ones may be made to 

 answer the purpose. 



(6) Slides, cover glasses, jars for holding specimens, 

 and dissecting trays. (Candy trays may be successfully used 

 for dissecting trays.) 



(7) A student's microtome and accompanying apparatus.
