en to educational institutions. It was not until 1900 that the school
fully recovered from the loss of its barn. In this year friends in
Brooklyn gave the money with which to rebuild the barn on a larger
scale. It was deemed wise not to put all the money into one building,
but to erect numbers of smaller ones and locate them so as to minimize
the fire risk. Accordingly, plans were made to build a hennery,
creamery, dairy-barn, horse-barn, carriage-house, tool-house, piggery,
silos, and slaughter-house. All these buildings were at once put up, and
are now giving effective service. At present the school owns 47 horses
and colts, 76 mules, 495 cows and calves, 601 pigs, and 977 fowls of
different kinds. These animals are all of good stock, some of them being
thoroughbreds, and are cared for by the students who work in the
Agricultural Department.

Dorothy Hall, the building which accommodates the Girls' Industrial
Department, was built in 1901 on the side of the driveway opposite the
Boys' Trades Building. This building is the gift of the two New York
ladies who gave the Chapel and Phelps Hall. It serves its purpose
admirably, the rooms being large, well lighted, and airy. Here are
conducted all the trades taught to young women, including sewing,
dressmaking, millinery, laundering, cooking, housekeeping,
mattress-making, upholstering, broom-making, and basketry. As with the
boys' trades, there is a very fair equipment of accessories for proper
teaching.

In point of time, the next important building provided was the Carnegie
Library, Mr. Carnegie giving $20,000 for the building and furnishings.
The structure is two stories high, with massive Corinthian columns on
the front. It contains, besides the library proper, a large
assembly-room, an historical room, study-rooms, and offices for the
Librarian. The building and the furniture are the product of student
labor.

In 1901, with $2,000 given by Mrs. Quincy A. Shaw, of Boston, and $100
contributed by graduates of the Institute as a nucleus, the Children's
House was built. This is a one-story frame building of good proportions,
in which the primary school of the town is taught. It is the
practise-school for students of the Institute who mean to teach. A
kindergarten has also been established.

Mr. Rockefeller has given a dormitory for boys, which was completed and
occupied last year. The lack of adequate sleeping quarters for young
men, from which the school has suffered
