What is au Industrial aud Normal
SCHOOL, And what are It's objectsf Aud
what viii II accomplish are some of tho
teS questions that are apt TO bo aske by
the people. A. We understand IL the
industrial feature OF the school for our
girls Is 10 hrrt teach them how To loo
independent and To 30 prcpar. them 10
be competent To iii such positions IN
Keeping with Their rex as Will enable
them 10 earn livelihood Tor themselves.
And while they are TO receive a
thorough English education, they are
to be taught how To be domestic, so
should IL be matter Of necessity III AZ
ter life every girl can be independent Of
cooks aud servants OF any kind aud IN
all other ways, SO teaching her a. that
she may be fully entitled 10 the name Of
woman. The Normal department OF this
| school Is 10 prepare those who have .
| desire TO become teachers for the work
| hey are TO be taught and trained by
| the best OF teachers IA every branch of
! this department so that whenever lady
teacher Is wanted TO go To An, ,srt OF
the country, she can 20 there and I'LL the
| position with credit 10 herself and the
| school.
| Now with all due respect to other
| places that are trying - get this school,
We do not think there is = town, taking
| every thing into consideration, that can
| surpass Graham as IA suitable location
