preciatiOn of their size or the per
 lection of their appointments until one has gone through each of them and noted the careful way in which
 every convenience and utility has
 been looked after, always with an
 eye single to the artistic side of
 things. m appropriateness that is in
 itself a fundamental excellence whose
 value cannot be estimated in figures
 or by comparison, but will be re-
 nected only in the impulses and
 characteristics of those whose days
 in years to come shall be spent un-
 der it's influence.
 That there may be no tiresOme rep
 etition in the description of particu-
 lar buildings. mention will first be
 made of general features carried out
 to seeming perfection in the equip
 ment of each. First is ventilation
 and heating The buildings are all
 heated by air. piped into each room
 from the central plant, in the base
 ment of Science hall, the air being
 released a short distance below the
 ceilings while the impure air es-
 capes through system of ventila-
 tors installed few feet above the
 floors, being then expelled through
 the roof The plant is not properly
 described as a heating, but rather
 as d ventiIatinG system, for its pur-
 pose is to provide pure air at the temperature desired, whether the weather be hot or cold, and when warm air is needed it is heated by steam brought from the power plant by pipes to the basement of Science hall The air is drawn into the building from the outside by means of large and rapidly revolving wheel something on the order of a windmill. and which drives it through water and charcoal, removing all inn purities. and thence into the Dlcnum chamber where it comes in contact with the steam radiators. passing from there through the various pipes to each of the school apartments. In warm weather the air, cooled and i cleaned by being famed through the water and charcoal is merely not 1 heated. but pursues it's way through the same pipes.
 ! Each building is Hberany provided with IIvatOries for both boys and girls. and one of them has baths and i showers for both boys and girls, a necessary adjunct to gymnasium work. Each building is to be swept with a vacuum cleaner, thoroughly l removing impurities with the lelst possible disturbance of dust Each l building has a cosy and inviting rest ! room for the use of teachers or stu i dents who may be temporarily ill l or fatigued Each student has his 1 private locker with combination lock, registered in the office of the prin- ] cipll and # books and personal ef- fleets are missing hereafter, the pre- sumption will be it is due to the care lessnes of the student himself rather than the mischievousness or theft of
 another In addition to these per sonal lockers. in different depart ments where the course of study de 1 nands special paraphernlliaJ ma tcrial, or the holding over from day
 to day of unfinished work, as in the sewing or art departments, there are additional individual lockers for th5 use of each student in such depart iment.
 The importance of perfect lighting
 both for the physical welfare Of the
 student and to facilitate his work
 has been given much attention in re-
 cent years. and in the new higl school buildings it has had first con sideration Prof. Stabler says tha
