are, the acquisition of the necessary

In every study the pupils in turn occupy temporarily the place of teacher of their classmates, and are subjected to their criticisms as well as those of their regular teacher.

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.

For the assistance of those who find even the moderate expenses of the School burdensome, tne 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
