THE SCHOOL OF SCIENCE DEPARTMENT.--Familiar Lectures are
given occasionally during the Winter Months on Electricity, Galvanism,
Magnetism, Chemistry, Telegraphy and Printing.

ELECTRICITY.--Is shown and explained by the use of a large
Plate Glass Electrifying Machine, next in size smaller than the one at
the Royal Polytechnic, with all the apparatus required.

CHEMISTRY.--The Elucidation of Principles and the explanation
of Chemical Phenomena are made as clear and concise as possible, by
many experiments.

MAGNETISM.--This is so very instructive a branch of Science
that many experiments are well understood by the Pupils, both in the
use of the Natural Magnet and the Electro-Magnet.

GALVANISM.--There are several Galvanic Batteries in use, so
that the Boys accustomed to them can readily apply a particular sort
to any experiment.

TELEGRAPHY.--Communication is carried on at any distance
chosen, or from one part of the house to another.

PRINTING.--This is likewise thoroughly explained by the use
of a Press and all the apparatus attached, including several cases of
Type.
