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,
