Tomck possesses the most importanttechnological school thus far estab-lished in Cibiria. It is a solidly-built three-main-floor edifice of the buflfor ocher-brown sandstone procurableeast of the Ural range, and the cross-Cibirian tourist would little expect to seeso advanced an edifice among townswhose buildings are built chiefly ofcrudely-mortised tree-lengths.
