On the first fioor are the museum, library, cloak-rooms and assembly hall. In the basement are the heating plant, physical science laboratory and manual training shop. The second floor is occupied by the biological laboratory and three large recitation rooms. THE LIBRARY. This room is to be made the most attractive one in the build- ing. The Board oflEducation has made a very generous approp- riation for library purposes for the coming year, and an abundant supply of new books and furnishings will be secured. A librarian will always be in charge to aid in the use of material and the courses of study will be so arranged that every pupil must go to the library for reference books and collateral reading. In addition, a number of standard magazines and periodicals will be kept on the reading table. ' LABORATORIES. y Generous appropriations have been made for the improve- ment of the physical science laboratory and the biological lab- oratory. The experimental work is put almost entirely into the hands of the students, and is laid out in accordance with the require- ments set forth in the High School Manual of the University of Illinois. 5

THE MUSEUM. The splendid collection of entomological specimens pre- pared for the High School by Mr. Thos. Keyworth is a good nucleus around which to build a museum. The northwest room has been set aside for this purpose. This department can be made of great value to the cause of study if pupils, patrons and alumni will aid in gathering material. , In consideration of the many favors shown to the High School by Mr. Keyworth, it has been decided to call the museum the Kevworth Museum.
