and common rooms. Each house has its own hot water system. On laying the foundation stones, Mr. A. S. L. Hulett, Chairman of the old council, named the house nearer the main road Cillingham, and Mr. J. j. Crookes, donor of the house, named the further one Finningley. They are under the control of Mr. C. M. Gram and Mr. J. F. Reece respectively. The classroom block is of a simple pattern, with class rooms in one straight line. There will also be a laboratory, music rooms, cloakroom and stationery office. The four main buildings mentioned form roughly a quadrangle. In due time the grounds will be laid out with lawns, paths, trees and shrubs. The playing fields are being levelled, the first to be finished being about 250 yards by 130 yards. Ultimately it is hoped to add two more houses, a large assembly hall, further classrooms, and, above all, a school chapel. A school chapel should be a beautiful and worthy sanctuary, with a profound influence on the life of a school; it is to be hoped that some means will soon be found for erecting such a building. Until then it will be necessary to hold services in the dining hall.
