The laboratory should be well-lighted, thoroughly
ventilated and comfortably heated. Six separate
tables may be made, planned for four girls at each;
or one large table may be arranged in a semi-circle
around the instructor's table, which should be placed
at the point where the half circle ends; or the large
table may be in the form of an oblong, leaving an
opening at one of the short sides, and the instructor's
table placed in the center. It is less expensive to
have the single table.
If gas is used, twelve gas plates are needed, for
the work is so arranged that two girls work together
at one plate. One extra gas plate is needed for the
instructor's use in demonstrating the lesson and in
performing experiments before the class. Blue-flame
oil stoves may be used.
The necessary utensils are placed in drawers,
made purposely for the tables, when these are
separate, or on shelves arranged below the long tables.
The drawer arrangement is of course much better,
as it keeps dust away from the utensils.
The girls are required to keep these drawers or
shelves in perfect order. Each girl should have a
certain place for each utensil, and keep that particular
utensil in it, so that each class shall find the labora-
tory in order at the beginning of each lesson.
