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 hy making donations to its Library and Museum. Any aid in this direction will be gratefully acknowledged.

The

Insti-

large, and, in

some respects, unequalled Museum and Cabinet belonging to the Institute and Academy, affords rare opportunities for studies in various departments of Science; and the instructive meetings of the Essex Institute for the discussion of Historical and Scientific subjects, possess great value for all who are interested in the study of History and of Nature.

Tuition is free to those who comply with the condition of teaching in the public Schools of Massachusetts, wherever they may have previously resided. A small fee ($2.00)

is

paid by each pupil at the beginning of the term, for incidental

expenses.

The text-books required

are mostly furnished, without charge, from the School recommended, however, that pupils should bring with them for purposes of reference and comparison, the text-rbooks which they have already tuclied; and they should, especially, be provided with a Dictionary and a recent,

For the assistance of those who find even the moderate expenses of the School burdensome, the Commonwealth makes an annual appropriation. This aid is distributed at the close of each term, among pupils from Massachusetts who merit and need the aid, in sums varying according to the distance of their residences from Salem, but not exceeding in any case $1 50 per week. 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.

Aid is also rendered, in cases of special merit and need, from the income of the fund of Five Thousand Dollars, for which the School is indebted to the munificent bequest of
