 AT THE BOARDMAN SCHOOL.
 The Boardman Manual Training High school will open for regular session Tuesday, September 3. There have been several additions to the force of teachers and the school is prepared for large classes. On the lower floor in the engine building the further room has been fitted up for blacksmithing and foundry work. Twenty-siX anvils, with the necessary tools for forging, are placed in convenient positions for the pupils and a separate locker completes the furnishing of the floor. At one end of the room machine for creating a forced draught is placed overhead. This is connected with the separate forges and the draught is regulated by each pupil.
 In the next room the moulding will take place. Models that were construct ed by the pupils last year will be used, so that when completed the object will be the entire work of pupils. These two rooms will be used by the classes that were in the school last year, as it is advanced work for the incoming class es.
 On the floor above the woodworking department an especially fine chemical laboratory has been arranged for There are accommodations for a class of thirty, both at the benches and at the seats Six benches, two at the end of the room and four in the center are | fitted with gas jets, Bunsen burners and other tools. Directly in back of each bench are two long sinks, where the refuse is disposed of Each pupil is given a drawer and locker to keep the necessary towels and aprons in. The benches are fitted out in ash and the | tops in white wood, making good ar- pearance A little off to one side are three benches, each seating ten pupils. | In front is blackboard, an apparatus belonging to the instructor in charge for explanation This laboratory will be wholly devoted to chemical work, of which a speciality will be made. The physical laboratory is on the other side | of the hall and is connected by series of doors.
 | The following new instructors have been engaged for the year in addition | to the regular corps:
 Miss E. B. Thompson In cooking. Miss F. G. Phelps will teach English. MT. Senfest will help in woodwork and moulding, next year having charge of the machine shop. Miss Abbott will | teach mathematics.

 AT THE WINCHESTER. | At the Winchester the extensive changes will not be completed at the l opening of the fall term. The roof has been raised, giving an additional story with space for four new rooms, making eighteen in all. These rooms are being furnished with all the latest school conveniences and the other improve ments at the Winchester will result in making this building first class school editce in every respect.
