Causes the health of some has occasionally suffered. The dispersion, moreover, of the pupils in detached buildings, renders the maintenance of discipline more diffit than will be the case when all are residing on the same premises. The plans of the new buildings have been so deed as to include the present build ing, which will continue to be appropriated to the use of the Collegiate School, sufficient additions being made for the accommodation, altogether, of about one hundred and twenty boys. The wing corresponding to that occupied by the school is intended for the College, and can accommodate about one hundred students, each occupying a roomy ceh. The centre building is designed to contain a large lecture-room, library, museum, apartments for the Principal, Pro fessors, and occasional itors. The centre building is connected with the school by the chapel, and with the College by the dining-hall. There are, also, moms provided for a chemical laboratory, workshops, and printing premises, which will all be required in the training of the Oriental pupils. It was most important, in planning the buildings, to have regard to the size and ventilation of the apartments, 80 necessary for health in a hot climate. Nothing can be more favourable to such an object than the high and airy situation and exposure to the sea breezes of the site on which the buildings are to stand; this site consists of about fourteen acres of land, including large gardens and spacious playgrounds.
