ESCULA PRACTICA, IN GUATEMALA CITY 



This handsome school building, in which the children of the republic were to receive 

 manual training and instruction in the applied arts, had been completed, but not yet occupied, 

 when the catastrophe occurred, reducing the edifice to a mass of ruins. The city of Guate- 

 mala has a population of 100,000, of whom nearly five-sixths are of European origin.
