joining the machine-shop is a table for threading pipes and for other heavy work. Under this table are kept the pipe supplies. In the corner, on the right hand as one enters, is a rack containing thirty-two compartments (12 × 12) for keeping the boys' work, each boy having his own compartment. Beside this rack is a closet for the plumbing supplies. Along the wall are hooks for hats and coats.

SECOND FLOOR

The first room on the second floor is a carpenter-shop. Here are ten carpenters' benches containing two vises each, a place of forty-eight compartments for the boys' work, and a closet similar to the plumbing closet for the storage of materials and for the tools used by the instructors. Along the wall, on the left hand as one enters, are sixteen compartments (24 × 12 × 18) each containing a complete set of carpenters' necessary tools -mallet, back-saws, one cross and one rip, hammer, screw-driver, six chisels, try-square, bevel-gauge, nail-set, single-iron and double-iron jack-planes, and markinggauge. The equipment of the instructors consists of such tools as are not in constant use by the boys, such as large saws, rabbets, planes, plough, brace and bit. On a stand near the carpenters' closet is a glue-pot heated by gas. Along the walls are frames containing free-hand drawings suggestive of good plans for young carpenters.

The printing-room contains two presses: one a footpower and the other a hand press. It is intended to add another to be driven by an electric motor. The presses are by the wall of the carpenter-shop. Near them, in a closet, is kept the stock of paper. Along the sides of the room are sixteen frames holding the usual type-cases. In the middle of the room is the desk of the instructor,

and a marble slab for locking-up the forms, together with the galley-stand.

Next to the printing-room is the mechanical-drawing department. Against the printing - room wall a closet (12 x 2 x 6) holds racks for seventy-five drawingboards, and compartments for cases of instruments. Along the other three sides of the room drawing-shelves are built about thirty-six inches high, with a slight slant for the drawing - boards, and a three-inch level piece against the wall for pencils and ink. The boys stand at their work or sit on tall stools. In the middle of the room is a broad table, supported by two wooden horses, at which thirty boys work at one time, each having ample space. On Wednesdays the first and second carpentry classes, of fifteen boys each, take mechanical drawing here. On the other evenings the room is used by the two mechanical-drawing classes.

THIRD FLOOR

On the next floor, in the rear, at the head of the stairs, is the manual-training room, arranged for twentyfour boys. Each boy is separated from his neighbors, and all face the same way. In front of each boy is a table for his drawing-board. At his side is fastened a pencil-box, containing a pencil, pencil-compass, four thumb-tacks, a knife, and eraser. Under the table hang a T-square, a triangle, a scroll-saw, and an adjustable sawtable. Opposite the door is a large closet for the storage of materials. In this room are seventy-two compartments (14 X 8 X 12) to hold each boy's unfinished work. As soon as any piece is finished, it is stored away and a record is made. The teacher has his own bench, with vise and tools. Adjoining this room is the department of metal-work
