make original or conventional designs,
which can be used In the manufacture of
wall decorations, carpets, fabrics or furni-
ture. Or she may learn photography, carv-
ing on wood or stone, pottery designing, or
any of the processes used in illustrating
magazines, photogravure, or etching, down
to mechanical drafting. This of course does
not prevent her from learning portrait or
landscape painting for the mere love of art,
but if she must support herself she will be
encouraged to learn something which will
make her tssk lighter; if she would be a
church or concert singer, or teacher of vo-
cal music, her instructions will take that
bent, and the same policy will be pursued in
instrumental music. Thorough courses in
bookkeeping, telegraphy, typewriting and
shorthand will also be given, and am anx-
ious that upholstering shall be added to the
list of available occupations for women"

porated as course of study, but we have
not hit upon any practical plan. As the
school grows and parents rent the cottages
we will build from time to time we shall
need kindergarten for the little ones, and
eventually complete arrangement will be
made so that child may 60 to school his

eyes, indeed. A series of cottages will
be built which will accommodate about
twenty students or more, and these will be
in charge of teacher, where the personal
habits, manners and amusements Of the stu
dents may be under supervision. Every
care will be taken to make these cottages
homes in the best sense of the word. A
place where no sectarianism will be taught,
all creeds welcomed, and the single religion
of Christ our Redeemer practised and fol~
lowed, where the day begins and ends with
prayer, and where each individual is brought
under refined discipline. Those intended
for boys will be about mile distant from
those occupied by the girls I think 1t will
be splendid opportunity for boys and girls
to learn how to conduct themselves toward
each other in refined and decorous man
ner. Then, too, judioious association OF
the sexes will not only stimulate both to
better efforts and improve their manners,
but will etfectually prevent hazing and row.

ready over thirty of the most celebrated
stored in the ballroom down stairs. Among
them are 'The TRANSPORTATION" by Raffa-
ellie, "The Marriage of Mary, the Mother of
Jesus" by Raffaelle; also the beautiful paint
ing BY Leonardo da Vinci of ''The Lords
Supper" In order to get this copied the ex-
act size of the original was obliged to get
the permission Of King Humbert. He gra-
ciously gave it. Through our former minis-
ter to Germany, Mr.. Pendleton, the yonng
Kaiser has given permission for copy the
size of the original famous "Sistine Madon-
ma" in the gallery at Dresden. The Kaiser
reserved the right to name the artist who
will copy it for me. [ realize the fact that
very many of the boys and girls of Califor-
mia may never have an opportunity of seeing
these wonderful originals. They can never
be purchased. The, next and only way OF
seeing them is through these copies, which
are all painted by the very best artists that
could be found.

Chow soon will the school be openeda"
''It is intended to be opened next fall.
When the next Congress adjourns Mr.. Stan-
ford has planned to give some of his time to
selecting the faculty, and we hope to have
the machinery of the university proper in
running order for the fall term"
Following the erection of the two fret col
leges will be the building of Institutions in
which will be given the higher course of ed
ucation. The colleges will be provided with
ample lecture rooms, and the trustees will te
required to offer the highest salaries for in
structors of any institution of the kind in
the world. The higher courses will be free
to post-graduates of all colleges and univer-
stiles, and to such other deserving persons al
the trustees may elect to admit. Free schol.
arships will be established in colleges of the
university, which are to be given to deserv'
| ing pupils of the public schools, or to the
! children of those who have died without
means in the service of the State or the
| cause of humanity. At certain stage o,
| his progress each student will be required te
select the pursuit he is to follow through
| life, and, if the selection is approved by the
president as practical, the pupil will be af-
| forded every possible advantage to perfect
| himself or herself in the chosen calling.
Palo Alto is SO near San Francisco and the
university at Berkeley that when the South
ern Pacific railroad is built along the bay

| Palo Alto in forty minutes.
By the deed of trust which Senator and
Mrs. Stanford placed in the hands of tbs
I trustees, eighty-three Thousand two hundred
acres of land, comprising the most valuable
estates in California, have been conveyed fol
| the lasting benefit of the university. To
guard against any possibility of failure by
death or other unexpected events, both don'
ora have made their Wills, by which they
provide for further endowments, which, it is
said, will afford a greater income than can
ever be used. Besides the Palo Alto ranch,
Vina. the largest vineyard in the world, cit
uated in Tehame county, and the Gridlsy
wheat ranch, containing in all eighty thou
