WORCESTER CLASSICAL AND ENGLISH HIGH SCHOOL.

THE building, erected in 1870-71, by the city of Worcester for the accommodation of the Public High School at a cost of $170,000, after designs of Gambriel and Richardson, Architects of New York, will accommodate 500 pupils, and contains nine school-rooms, each about thirty feet square, three of which are on the principal floor, and six in the second story. The first story also contains a large room for the library, and a lecture-room connected with which on one side is a chemical laboratory fitted up with all the appliances for the practical study of chemistry, and on the other a room for philosophical apparatus. At the right of the main entrance is a room for the principal, which communicates with the several school-rooms, by bells and speaking tubes. In addition to the school-rooms mentioned, the second story contains private rooms for the teachers, and two recitation rooms. The third story is occupied by the large hall, seventy-six feet long by sixty-two feet wide, four connecting rooms at the corners of the building, arranged to be used as a means of enlarging the hall, or for other purposes as exigencies may require. The wide halls extending lengthwise of the building, with commodious stairways at each end, form a main characteristic in the first and second stories. The entrances for the scholars are in the basement; that for girls at the north end, and that for boys at the south end, and they communicate with rooms for wardrobes, &c. The middle part of the basement is devoted to a gymnasium. The building is finished with varnished pine throughout.

The exterior walls are of pressed brick with Nova Scotia stone trimmings, and black bricks are introduced to a considerable extent as a feature of decoration. A handsome double stairway of granite, brick and freestone, leads to the main entrance, and above this rises a slender, lofty tower of exquisite grace, arranged for clock, bell, and observatory.

A very fine toned bell, manufactured by Meneely and Kimberly, bell founders, of Troy, N. Y., has been placed in the tower by the liberality of a citizen (William Dickinson), at an expense of $1,000. A large clock, which strikes the hours, from the Manufactory of Howard & Co., Boston, has also been placed in it; this, with twelve smaller ones in as many different rooms, costing $1,000, are the gift of another citizen (Hon. Edward Earle). These small clocks are operated by a battery connected with the large clock; thus uniformity of time will be secured throughout the building. One of Chickering's grand pianos, costing $1,200, is the munificent gift of the Hon. Stephen Salisbury.

The arches above the windows on the first floor, the ornamental work about the eaves, and around the dial on the tower, and near the slating of the tower and of the corner pinnacles, are of black brick, interspersed with brick of the natural color. A water-table of stone marks the line of the first floor; and a corresponding string course connects the window sills of the second story; beneath the latter there is a line of red brick and black brick in alternate pairs, placed cornerwise, after a manner technically called herring bone. The same style of ornamentation is employed in the balustrades around the front entrance and the balcony at the base of the tower. Variety is also given to the slating upon the roof and the slats to the openings in the bell-tower, by the introduc
