The laboratories may be in the basement or in a small building out-side, .onnc-tpd to the main building by a covered walk. There is per- — 109 — haps less danger of fire if the chemistry laboratory is outside the mainbuilding. This danger is. however, largely removed if the laboratoryhas cement or bitumen floor, and the gas for the laboratory is soarranged that it can be shut off at the close of each days work. Thegreater danger of fire here is that the blue flame of the Bunsen burneris easily overlooked and a jet may be left burning, in time heating theburner, melting off the rubber tube, and then setting fire to adjacentwood work. The laboratories should be large and tables arrangedaround the sides next the windows. The chemical laboratorv should. FLOOR PLAN P^an-i- rCi^eiti.

Each two students should be pro%adedwith water, and a small ventilating hood. In addition there should bea large ventilating hood under which to perform experiments producingnoxious fumes. The physical laboratory should be supplied with waterand gas. The lecture room should have raised seats facing the teachersdemonstration table, and contain cases of apparatus not used in thelaboratory. This room should have solid inside blinds, or veTy heav^v^shades, so that it may be darkened. It should be provided with gas,water and electricity.
