Miss MAYS LECTURE.-The lecture room of
the Natural History association was well filled
last evening to hear the lecture by Miss Abby
W. May, president of the Horticultural school
for women, at Newton. The remarks of Miss
May occupied but little time, and were followed
by more on the same subject from Mrs. Parker
of Boston, a lady much interested in the school.
Miss May began by saying that the school,
which has been established a year, has proved
the idea upon which it was founded to be o
practical one, and what is now desired by the
managers is to have more known about it, so
that it may gain popularity and increase
its number Of pupils. About year
ago three acres of land, having upon
it house with conveniences for eighteen
pupils, was purchased, and the instruction be-
gan. The girls divide their time between labor
on the land, under the direction of skillful
gardener, and lectures on botany, entomology,
agricultural science, and other topics which have
bearing upon their course of study, which en-
braces a knowledge of raising vegetables and
small fruits as well as flowers. A greenhouse
has been added to the institution, aud from this
flowers have been sold with such profit as to en-
courage the directors to give more attention to
supplying orders, with the hope of making it a
source of income. The leading idea in educat-
ing woman in this science, is to enlarge their
opportunities for earning livelihood, and fur
nishing means for doing so that will tend to
keep girls more in the country. At this school
the girls do everything necessary to the raising
of flowers and vegetables, with the exception of
the blowing, and the labor has been the means
ofrestoring health to two of the pupils, who be-
gan the year in an enfeehlcd condition. 1t is
not charity school, but depends for its support
mainly upon its success in securing pupils, the
price of tuition being one hundred dollars
year, with board at four dollars per week. At
the close of the remarks made by the ladies,
they invited questions relating to the matter;
and fully as much time was occupied in asking
and answering as by the lecture.
