OPENING IN FORTNIGHT Tlie finishing touches are at present being applied to the new swimming baths at St. Cuthbert’s Girls’ College, and they will be officially opened on December 15.

The original scheme covered a bath of more moderate dimensions, but owing to the generosity of two shareholders of the college, Miss Runeiman and her niece, who contributed £6,000, the baths have been built on a more pretentious scale.
