It is not well known among the members of the University that a very thoroughly equipped industrial school has just been built within two minutes' walk of Memorial on Broadway, above Felton Hall. The land, building, and necessary appliances were furnished to the City of Cambridge through the generosity of Mr. Frederick Ringe, who was formerly a resident of Cambridge, and, moreover, a student at Harvard years ago. Mr. Rindge's affection for his native place has manifested itself in a very bountiful manner. He has given the city, ground for a new town hall, a splendid library building, an English high school building (not yet erected, to cost about $100,000) and the industrial school. The school is well adapted to meet the requirements of such an institution; it has the best of teachers, and is already overflowing with pupils. Mr. Ringe has placed two chief restriction upon applicants, that each boy be the child of Cambridge citizens, and that each boy be of vigorous constitution. Carpentering is taught in the school, and especial attention is given to work in joining.
