A BOSTON INSTITUTION.
The Starr King School nnd the Good work
 1t Is Doing.

The Starr King School of Boston, is an institution that deserves success. It is for girls, and its aim is to supplement the training of the public schools with an elementary and technical training. It is now nearly at the close of it's second session, and has an average attendance of 120 pupils. There is a kitchen garden class, class in modelling clay, a class in knitting, class in art needlework, classes in color, in weaving, in gymnas- tics and class in carpentry. "It is surprising" says the Boston Advertiser,
 ''to see how well thesgirls do, and espe- cially how we'll they do ill the latter class, and how naturally some of them take to the use of tools. Their efforts are mostly in the cabinet-making line, although the first lessons are in getting out pieces of wood for miniature fences and learning to use the tools and shape the woods. From these they go to some thing more ambitious, knife-trays, iron ing boards, foot stools, etc; one of the girls Is making pretty oak desk, an- other an easel, still another an ornamen- tai table. There is no play about this work; it is genuine labor; they do everything themselves, under the guid- ance, of course, of a skilled carpenter, who acts as teacher. They take the di- mensions, get out the wood, prepare it properly and put it together The re- suit in many cases would not shame ex- perienced workmen. Of course only the larger girls can do this laborious work, but the little ones have their col bring and weaving, their part in the needlework and the kitchen garden classes. and all have the gymnastic train ing under one of Professor Sargent's best graduates. The classes in modelling do surprisingly we'll; they model from the flat and they show 8 really remar rkable skill. The teachers are of the best, and are all interested most thoroughly in their pupils. It is hoped next year to add designing to the list of studies, as many of the older girls are anxious for tue opportunity of such study. In the meantime what has already been achieved by this short session of a technical school for girls will be shown at the h. stitute fair, where there will be an ex- hibit in the woman's department of the work of the school, Mrs. Mcbride hay ing made special effort in behalf of this display, which will show how much may be done, and we'll done, by girls when properly trained and directed. The wish has been expressed by many inter- ested in educational matters that this school should become permanent insti- tuition, instead of so temporary a one" |"
