This Elevation was drawn by R. J. Withers, Esq., Sherbone,
architect, and executed at Sherbone, Dorset, in 1849, for small
British Schools. We have retained the same proportions of
the building, but altered the arrangements of the ground plan
to suit the Training System, with galleries, class-rooms, etc.
They will each accommodate 80 scholars.
We would prefer that the South Elevation' should be in
front, as in Plates No. 1 and 2, having play-grounds on either
side, but we give the Elevation as executed, to show how easily
ordinary schools may be converted into training ones.
Our readers will also find several very tasty Elevations in the
publications of the Lords' Committee of Council,-easily con-
vertible into Moral Training Schools.
a Initiatory Training School. b Juvenile Training School.
c Galleries. d Initiatory Class-room. e Juvenile Class-room.
ƒ Entrance to Juvenile department. h Entrance to Initiatory
department. i Retiring place for Boys. j Water-Closet for
Boys-Infants. k Do. for Girls-Infants. 7 Do. for Girls-
Juvenile. m Retiring place for Boys. n Water-Closet for Girls.
Cost of building, exclusive of the site, £550.
N.B.-A square pannelled ceiling is found cooler in sum-
mer, and warmer in winter, than hanging ones as this is. The
pannelling of a celiing tends to prevent an echo.
Two Circular Swings may be placed in each play-ground,
also gymnastic posts. Flower borders, 3 to 4 feet broad,
on at least two sides of the ground. The division of the two
play-grounds may be boarded 5 feet high, and planted with
evergreens, etc.
