[School-Building Form No. 8.]

If the promoters of the subscription towards the erection of the school wish the architect of the Committee of Council on Education to prepare (gratuitously) a plan of the school-buildings, the information sought in this paper must be communicated to their Lordships' Secretary.

Privy Council Office, Downing-street.

A PLAN of the site must be sent, either drawn according to scale, or showing the dimensions of the ground along each boundary; the aspect which the front of the school-buildings is intended to have; together with the adjacent roads, and other approaches.

On this plan, also, the inclination of the ground must be indicated, by marking which is the highest and which the lowest level, in order that a sketch of the drainage may be drawn. If (which is very undesirable) the ground is on a steep slope, a section of the site must be sent, to enable the architect to adapt his plans to this slope.

The plans and elevations drawn by their Lordships' architect must be copied, and returned to the Privy Council Office to be deposited there.

The following questions must also be answered.

1. State what is the number of children for which accommodation is to be provided under any of the following heads :

The number of boys in one room.

The number of girls in one room.
The number of infants in one room.

Or,

:

The number of boys and girls in the same room.

2. If the arrangement of the rooms shown in any one of the plans published in their Lordships' Minutes is preferred, here state the number of that plan.

3. State whether one or more class-rooms are needed, and the number of children to be provided for in each class-room.

4. State whether one or more lobbies or closets for cloaks and caps are to be provided.

5. In some schools for factory children a small room, supplied with water, is provided, in order that the scholars, who work half the day in the mill, may wash before entering the school. State whether such a room is to be built.

6. State whether one or more houses are to be erected for the master and mistress, and, respecting each house, how many rooms it is to contain below stairs, and how many above stairs; thus-sittingroom, kitchen, scullery, number of bed-rooms; and the size of the rooms, where that is not left to the discretion of their Lordships' architect.

7. State whether the materials are to be stone, or brick, or brick with stone dressings.

8. State whether the roof is to be covered with tiles or slate.
