INFANT SCHOOL.
A considerable addition is being made to the Normal School for the purpose of providing accommodation for the instruction of infants. The buildiDg is 92 ft. long by 36ft. wide, being a continuation of the noith wing of the Normal School. It is built of brick, and the style of architecture followed, although differing in some respects from the design of the original or main building, is such as to preserve a general harmony of appearance. There are fourteen rooms in the new building, consisting of class rooms, master's room, lady principal's room, stationery and book department, lavatories, furnace room, &c. the last named being in connection with the heating apparatus for regulating the temperature, by means of steam pipes throughout the buildirg. The new school is reached by the corridor through the old building. Mr Cane was the architeot, Mr Goss the builder, and Mr Rutland the clerk of works. As may be imagined, the infant school forms a considerable addition to the handsome pile of buildings known as the Normal School, and will supply much needed accommodation, owing to the rapidly increasing demand for Bchool room.
