The Lawrence Scientific School Additions.

The new addition to the Lawrence Scientific School is about finished. It will be used as an electrical work-shop and is probably the first of a series of work-shops for the study of the higher sciences, as the benefit of actual work at the bench is beginning to be more and more highly thought of.

The building has cost so far about $7,000, and almost as much more will be needed before the shop can be fully equipped. The shop will only be partly used this year, but will be ready for use by next October. It is not exactly known now where the power for the shop is to come from, as the city has withdrawn the permission it gave allowing the power to be brought across the street, and the gentlemen who offered money for a plant to light the yard and public buildings have also withdrawn their offer.
