called iu the morning at half past
ine and will be let out at twelve
'clock. The afternoon session
will commence at a quarter after
one and will last until four o'clock.

tions, and as they are almost com
peted, bids for the construction
of the building will soon be advci-
tised,
The new building is to be built
mmediately in front of and adjoin
ng the present one. The ell of the
present building which contains
only halls and stairways, will be

building to be used until the new
buildinir is completed. By follow
ing out this plan school will not be
nteriered with during the construe
tion of the new building and at the

tor use in the future as reel
tation or lecture rooms. The new
edifice will contain thirteen rooms

dent will have a suite of three
rooms, and there will be a fuel and
