18 SPECULA GALTONIA Proposed Vocational Addition By C. E. APPLEYARD IN CE the opening of the vocational departments of our School some four years ago all of the science taught in these departments has been confined, in so far as practical experimental work goes, to those periods during which the Collegiate laboratories are not being used by Collegiate classes. This so cramped the work of the science teachers in the Vocation- al School that the Department of Education has declined to approve this work unless accommodation, independent of the Collegiate department, be provided for it. The application of science to business and industry is becoming so marked that it is necessary that pupils entering these voca- tions be grounded in such subjects as solidly as possible. It is now proposed to build a third story above the wood-shop which will house a well equipped laboratory and also provide the extra class-room which will be necessitated by the organization of part-time classes September next. This addition is to be about 60 feet long and 40 feet wide, and it is hoped that it will be ready for use by September. The north wall will be of limestone, carrying out the architectural design of the present north- west wing, while the west and south walls will probably be of the steel-and- concrete factory construction which may be seen in the present machine- shop and wood-shop. Access to the new rooms will be effected by contin- uing the corridor leading to the present typewriting-room, as shown on the accompanying plan. The laboratory will serve for physics and chemistry of the Technical and Home Economics Departments, and possibly bacteriology in the latter department, and will also provide for physiography in the Commercial Department. There are to be nine desks, each 6 feet by 315 feet, which will accommodate 36 pupils. Each desk will have six drawers, two cup- boards, a lead sink and connections for water, gas and electricity. The tops of the desks will be acid-proof. The electrical wires to the desks will be brought from the electrical laboratory, Room '74, so that either 110 or 220 volts A.C. or 5-40 volts D.C. may be had at each desk. A magneto telephone system between these two rooms has been planned both for practice in telephone wiring and installa- tion and to make possible quicker changes in the power supply from the electrical laboratory. 'The instructor's desk is to be on a platform some 16 inches high, with a long blackboard behind it, an arrangement somewhat similar to that found in the present chemical laboratory. Instead of having hoods upon each desk, the top of the desk will be left clear for the work in physics, but fume cupboards will be installed at the south side ofthe laboratory which will be furnished with vents to the outside. The chemical reagents, glassware and other supplies will be kept in a room in the north-west corner, and along the north wall will extend a balance room large enough to contain nine good balances for the finer work. Both of these two small rooms will be partitioned off with iron plate and glass, similar to the partitions which enclose the tool room and finish- ing room in the wood-shop.
