requires. The last named apartment is on the rear of the building.
The largest recitation room, by a curious necessity, is in the form
of a carpenter's wooden square, with the teacher's desk in the angle
between the two compartments. One of these is on the back side of
the building, out of sight; the other, extending across the end, is
represented in front by the window at the extreme left.

Over the central door is, first, the steward's room, and then
closets over that; for one of the results of the successive
alterations and additions is, that parts of the building are two,
and other parts three, stories high. Miss Rice's room is directly
over the door on the left hand, as the steward's is here. The three
windows in the second story, to the right of the two central
closets, open into the dining room, and one of the girls' rooms
occupies the corner beyond. On the lower floor, going from the
central door to the right, is first a closet, and then a large guest
room for visitors; and underneath the whole is the cellar where the
boys' school was first taught, that has since grown into the Male
Seminary at Seir.

The rooms of the pupils are mostly in the rear. These are large
enough to accommodate six or eight occupants, as the Oriental style
of living does not require so much furniture as ours. In each room
is a member of the senior class, who exercises a kind supervision
over her younger companions. Every room has two or more closets,
designed especially, but not exclusively, for devotion; and some
sleep in the recitation rooms, as such a use of them at night does

But we had almost forgotten our imaginary window, the upper sash of
