The Institution has a valuable Library, containing, in works for general reference and reading, and in text-books, about nine thousand volumes. It has, also, a fair supply of philosophical apparatus, and a Museum containing a large collection of specimens illustrating various departments of science.

An important addition to the means of practical instruction in Chemistry has been made, whereby a large number of pupils can, at the same time, engage in chemical investigations, free from all danger of inhaling injurious gases.

The friends of the higher education of women can confer a great benefit upon the Institution by making donations to its Library and Museum. Any aid in this direction will be gratefully acknowledged. girt- goom.

In this distribution, the first term of a pupil's connection with the School is not reckoned, unless she enters prepared to complete the prescribed course of study in less than two years.
