ton rooms slate black boards will
be used and the marking will be done
with tale. That praven is dust and
other annoyances. A fireproof wall
separates the kitchen from the main
building. There are five stairways for
egress from the building. A large as
Economical observatory has been con,
structed on top of the building. The
calisthenic hall is 45 by 45, and is an
admirable room for the purpose. The
large halls give ample room for exercise
on rainy days. The heating is by
steam, and the temperature is kept
uniform during the winter. The bull
ding will be lighted by gas, but wires
are put In for electric lighting. The
purest water is furnished for drinking
and bathing purposes.
The chemical and physical laboratory
is furnished better than will generally
be found in the State. All the instru-
ments and appliances have been selec-
ted with great care and everything is
new. Beside the mG:,' bTldinl', IA,',
annex and the chemical laboratory
there are four cottages on the campus
to be used by teachers, or. families.
These are desirable places for persons
who do not wish to go into the main
building. Fully two hundred boarding
pupils, besides teachers can be most
comfortably cared for in this institu-
ton. The recitation rooms are large
enough for three hundred girls.
WHAT THE GIRLS STUDY.
The curriculum of the college pro-
vides for liberal education. The
large corps of trained teachers warrant
us in stating that every pupil will re-
ceive special attention, Besides the
regular collegiate course there are sew
eral specialties. Physical culture, in
Guiding elocution, voice training and
articulation will receive special atten-
ton. The teacher in this department
has had fine training and she Is thor
oughly interested in her work. Type
writing, stenography, telegraphy and
book keeping are taught, thus prepar-
ing girls to become bread winners.
The musical department is in charge
of trained teachers. Special attention
is given to vocal music and distin
guished teacher has been secured.
The boarding department will be
,nder the management of j. Watkins
Lee, famous as a hotel keeper. This
summer he is at Rawley Springs, Va, f,
but will return in time for the school.
That appointment insures good table.
The discipline of the school is strict
withot spying surveillance, allowing
ABUNDANT liberty without any license,
treating all pupils as they were ladies,
showing them that it is better to con
troll themselves than to be controlled
by others. All the work in the class
| rooms and in the social circle tends to
the development of the individual 80
that each one may feel that she is res
ponsible for her own conduct.

bilities are very arduous, those who
