The Institution has already a valuable supply, chiefly through donation, of which are so important for its full success, (the Library containing, in works for general reference and reading, and in textbooks, more than six thousand volumes.) To provide for them ampler accommodations, the School Building was enlarged during the last vacation, and now presents room for long ranges of book-shelves and cabinet-cases, for filling which the School must rely chiefly upon the continued liberality of its Friends and these material aids of education,

* Contributions of books and pamphlets for the Library, of articles of philosophical and chemical apparatus, and of minerals, shells, and other specimens of natural history for the Cabinet, will be gratefully received, and will make an important addition to the means of usefulness which the Institution already possesses.

School Committees and Superintendents will confer a special favor by sending copies of Annual Reports and other educational documents; and Instructors in Institutions of every grade, by sending copies of their Catalogues and Circulars. their
