THE COLONIST. PUBLISHED DAILY-(MORNINGS). NELSON, THURSDAY, JUNLY 19, 1888. THE NEW BRICK SCHOOL AT BRIGHTWATER.

This school is situated about three ohains from the main road Bear Martin's corner. The building does not show very well from the street, owing to the site being at a lower level. Upon a close inspection, however, the visitor is greatly pleased with the view of the exterior. Its great size, solidity, and the beautiful and costly belfry surmounting the whole structure, dispels from one's mind, lor some time at leaßt, the terrible word 'retrenchment.' The entrance doors are placed at the rear of the building. The door on the western side admits one to a lofty lobby, 9ft xßft, and going straight ahead we enter a convenient class room, lift long by lift broad. From here we repair to the schoolroom, and we believe it is equal, if not Bupsrior, to any room used for similar purposes in the Nelson dis tact. It measures 44ft in length and 32ft in breadth, with a projecting bay in front 14ft x 4ft. It is beautifully lighted and airy, dadoed round five feet high, is plastered above, and has an open timbered roof with four gables. The light is admitted through eleven high, oironlar-headed windows. The room will be warmed from chimneys at eaoh end, and a portion of eaoh window opens for the purpose of admitting plenty of fresh air. A Tobin ventilator is also plaoed at each corner, while 5 inoh pipes pass through the roof into the belfry, wkioh, I may mention, is octagonal, with a dome roof. Upon further examination we find that the building stands on a ooncrete foundation, 2ft in thickness; then comes the baso, 14 inches wide, upon which rise the walls consisting of 9 inch brick work, and standing 15 feet high from the floor. The entrance doors have architraves inside, and are neatly finished in plain cement facings outside. Tbe building is finished throughout in really first class style, and reflects the greatest credit ofi tbe builder and contractor, Mr John Avery, of Springgrove, and the arohiteot, Mr Bobert Black, of Kelson. ■ Ths Volunteers.—The usnai monthly inspection parade of the Town Volunteers took place last evening. There were 150 of all ranks present, made up as follows:—Navals 43, H Battery 40, City Rifles 44, Band 19, Staff 3, and Surgeon-Major 1.
