ing in Exeter, no time has been
in formulating plans so that

The plans for the new building have

terials to be

above details the members of the

tlie school and decided on the loca
tion of the building to be erected.
Two sites were suggested, one south
of the present building, in line
with and facing in the same direction
and the other on ■the campus east
of the present building and facing
north on Victoria Street. After due
consideration the latter location was
selected. The building will
about fifty feet back from the
and about seventy-five feet
the west side of the lot.
The new building Is to be
storey building 0vith a high
ment. The basement will be
ed into two parts. On one side of
the basement will be the room for
manual training. The equipment for
this room will comprise benches,
tools and machines for wood-work
ing, a forge for iron work and elec
trical apparatus . On the other side
of the basement will be the heating
system and storage room for fuel, a
