No. 7.-GALLERY-INITIATORY OR INFANT DEPARTMENT. wall, boarded 2 feet high above seat. dren supported by the wall boarded 2 feet 3, or 2 feet 6 inches high above seat. Height of the open railing, not solid board, for resting the back-Infant, 9 inches; and Juvenile, 10 inches. The open railing, 10 or 11 inches high, inclined backwards 13 inches at the top, deducts a little from the width of the footboard or passage behind. For side half step, see Plate No. 4. N.B.-The footboard is sunk the thickness of the wood behind the small railing, by the seat before, being raised by a one-inch board. If the school hall does not admit of 8 seats for the Juvenile, or 10 for the Initiatory, the middle heights may then be deducted, not the top or bottom heights. For the working plan of the Juvenile Gallery, see Plate No. 11, also the height of seats, breadth of footboard, height of railing for backs, etc. Fewer than seven steps does not admit of an under passage, and a narrower room than 26 feet does not admit of a passage at all. A Juvenile Gallery of six steps for a small school only 18 feet wide, without an under passage for caps, etc., according to Plate No. 11, we have seen erected for £7 7s. No. 8.-BIBLE STAND, ETC. A groove 3 to 4 inches long, and of an inch broad at the back part of the table, would enable a post 3 feet high to be placed in it, so as to suspend a map in sight of the whole gallery during a geography lesson. Writing Desks, placed against the sides of the School-hall, and easily moved to any spot; when folded down they only occupy 5 or 6 inches of space from the wall. They are made double, and are cut into convenient lengths of 7 to 10 feet. A seat may be hinged against the wall, thus leaving the centre area of the school clear when the desks are not in use. - This trough, which extends the whole line of each closet in all the departments, has 3 or 4 inches of water constantly lying in it, and is let off once a-day. Material-wood, lined with lead. This is only one mode of arranging the Water-Closets. The great points to be gained, are cleanliness throughout, and a sufficiency of water to keep the air fresh. See Descriptive Page. The small table holds scissors, wires, books, etc., and each upright post suspends work bags for two girls. NOTE. With or without the small tables for the girls' work, etc., this Gallery is very suitable for a Senior department. SECTION, GALLERY, PLATE 10.-FEMALE SCHOOL OF INDUSTRY. No. 1. 3. 4. 5. 6.
