It is proposed to use the large brick school house as a dormitory for the girls and the women teachers and the brick bullding ueed as the industrial 6chool to be converted into a dormitory for the boys and the male teachers. This arrangement, it s belleved, will be the safest and most practical. By 50 doing the dormitories will be in substan- | tial brick buildings, practically fire proof and easily heated durlag the winter. The present gymnasium will be utilized as a chapel and, it found necessary, as an ad- ditional school room. With this arrange- ment the only new buildings now necessary will be a school house, a dining room, study rooms and quarters for some of the faculty. These temporary bufldings, 1t is expected, can be easily completed during the summer vacation, So that everything may be in readiness when the school re- opens in October. Mr. Cownle and Judge Kinne will remain In the city to attend the commencement ex- ercises of the institute this evening in the High school audiorium when Judge Kinne will present the diplomas to the graduates.
