Third-Secure promise of the neces-
sary amount Ga very small sum was set
for price of such instruction when the
plan was laid before an institution near
at hant.
Fourth-The girls should study two or
three weeks without teaching, IN which
time rrangements for this use Of room
In each ward (gratuitous, ii POSSIBILITY tor
Saturday mornings should be made, and
pupils should ne secured. These the
pupil.teachers would meet ami to them
would teach on that morning pert of
what they hal learnei scientifically dur
ing those weeks. After which time, they
should teach on each Saturday all that

Fiftn-The pupils OF the class should
be charged a nominal fee OF 10 or Is cents
a week, in order to remove from the in

with views of q very successful easter.
society, founded on experience with its
classes in the languages. bookkeeping,
etc., would help to pay for needles am
thread, if nothing more.
Si1th-On each SATURDAY some mem Der
of each ward committee should be pres.
ent with the class t. lend hand in prao-
teal wavs, which one in ear est can al
, WAYS find an opportunity tu do. Vhese
com mittecs should BIZ relieved every
in Office at time Of the others going out.
This plan, If stu lied q little, will be
found very simple and has the great adj
avntage that, except at occasional con-
ferences, neither teacner. nor pupil, nor
| member of committee need leave her
| ed, the teacher has the double advantage
that tho immediate PRACTICAL appli6atio
of knowledge acquired always gives.
Seventh-The ward committees can
help on ths outside AS we'll A. inside the
class room by securing material, partly
| through small donations paid in, partly
| from soliciting old clothing to be cleaned
and made over. These made-over gar
ments should he held subject to SAFE to
| the pupil making them or to charitable
| societies for cases OF need.
| Eigh;h-When some one pupil shows
proficiency enough and enthusiasm
withaI that warrants her advance to the
dressmaking class, the process already
described is repeated, with this change,
| that only one room in o central location
should be opened for the dressmaking
class; as the pupils wishing to study in
this class would be old enough 70 60 from
their own ward to any Other, and will
ing to take this trouble, because ANXIOUS
to learn to make their own dresses.
| Ninth-This will be the paying depart
| ment as it will be patronied by well-tO-
do people in great mea sure, and should
become. after the first outlay for tables
| and o:her somewhat expensive furnish
ings,a self-supportins part OF the system.
The material used ir this department,
after that for the first experiments. per
haps. would be provided by the pupils.
| each according to her taste and means,
and the gar ents made would of course
belong to the maker and would be at
| once turned to practical account.
Tenth-A part of the original plan was
| to secure the use OF some public sch DOL
room in each ward for the Saturday
morning classes. which would be a saw
] ing OF rent. If this was found to be i'm
| posi- bic, tnen an attempt to secure room
| in the house of some one of the pupi Is,
| in exchange for the instruction, would be
| next In order.
The plan seems feasible and not on tc
| involve much expense, compared with
| the amount of good that might be accom-
plished. ana the writer would very gladly
| see it tried. NJ NJ. FETTE.
