This leaves a commodious reading room capable of seating comfortably 300 or 400 people. Below the library are the closets, dressing rooms, and the bath room. These are adjacent to the gymnasium which occupies the projection at the left of the main entrance, as shown by the' cut. The bowling alley is not yet completed and the commodious swimming pool must await a more favorable season for its completion. By the removal of the science department to the new building, the old science rooms in the third story of the main building are vacated and- will probably be utilized for so- ciety purposes. The plan now is to take out the partition in the old society halls, cnt off about twenty feet from the south end of the Philadelphian society for a parlor, change the position of the platform to one side, possibly, and then turn it over to one of the so- cieties. The rooms at the east end of the building will be arranged similarly and thus the societies will have ample space at last to accommodate their entire membership. Still much remains to be done. We must have a good kindergarten: music, which has been sadly neglected, must be taught by a skillful teacher, and manual training along the lines of Sloyd or some other development of the principle must also find a place here. The state has, indeed, been a noble benefactor to this institution, and its generous help will be more fully accorded than ever before. Public sentiment, which was hostile or indifferent, is now altogether favorable. Reasonable appropriation bills meet with no opposition, and the demand for professionally prepared teachers is multiplied manyfold within the last few years. There is every reason for the Normal School men to feel that they are abundantly appreciated, and that the opportunity for their best work is really opening to them. JOHN W. Cook.
