The Penitentiary CarbuncIe.


The people of Nebraska have somewhat

was carried on under the Boss Stout. G..

time been itching to succeed the

but the legislature made an appropriation
OF 500. 900 TO run 1t two years. The Beemer-
Russell-Churohill penitentiary contractors
well know that II they can get hold Of the
penitentiary that 1t will be self-sustaining
and then they will have the snug sum of
Sl00, 900 as a margin. Governor Holcomb's
position is to refuse admission to the
brigands and make the warden of the PEN
i~tentiary so conduct the institution that 1t
will be self-sustaining. and thus give back
to the state the 500. 900 appropriation, less
possibly a small amount which is absolutely
necessary for permanent improvements. !

tuition always contain more appllca-
tions from families desiring to secure
the services of graduates than there ara
graduates TO take the places The Bos
ton Young Woman's Christian associa-
ton was the first of its kind in the
world Its primary object was to fur
nish comfortable and safe lodgings and
wholesome and cheap meals for working
women. 1t was not long after the or
ganization had we'll settled itself in
two rented rooms ON Warrenton street
that the idea Of adding domestic train
ing to its work was preached. Before
the plan was adopted an experiment
was made with young orphan girl
who had no friends save those that were
raised up for her in the association.
She was carefully trained at the rooms
of the organization, and homo was
quickly found for her in family,
where she gave perfect satisfaction as a
most competent domestic
As soon as her success had demon
strated the feasibility of the scheme
quarters for the school adjoining the
boarding house were leased, and the
training school thrown open. From the
beginning it was decided not to use the
pupils of the school to do the work of
the boarding house, because it was de-
sired that the graduates should be capa
BILE Of doing work we'll upon a small
scale and of performing all sorts of du-
ties such as would be required in
moderate sized family. It was realized
that if during their term Of schooling
they were employed to cook and do
other work for many people they would
be untitled rather than fitted for service
in families. 1t was somewhat difficult
during the early years of the institu-
ton to give the pupils just the right
training, but when, in 1884, it was do
cided to put up special building for
the association arrangements were made,
the carrying out of which has made the
school almost perfect model, and the
pupils are now trained to do exactly the
work they will be called upon to per-
form when actually engaged as domestic
servants
The working apartments of the school
are four in number-parlor, dining
room, kitchen and classroom. In the
classroom lessons, or lectures, as they
are called, are given twice week. OF
these lectures the girls are required to
make careful notes in books furnished
for that purpose. which they must pre-
serve and to which they find it neces-
sary to make frequent reference. The
parlor is furnished just as the parlor Of
we'll to do family would DO fitted up.
Upon the floor there is a large rug about
which there is margin. Other rugs
are scattered about, the chairs are up
holstered, there are tables with books,
lamps with shades, -brac, pieces
of statuary, 8 o'clock tea table with
its fittings, and so ON. To learn how to
care for these things properly is one Of
the most important parts of the instruc-
ton given, and in order that the time
spent by the girls in the school may not
seem to be one intending round of work
they are allowed to serve tea occasion
ally to each other. a privilege with
which they are greatly delighted.
The kitchen and dining room are fit
tod up in complementary fashion. The
kitchen has a large range and is far

great deal. for it is the purpose of the
school managers during the six months
over which the course extends TO ground
the girls thoroughly in the practicali-
ties of domestic service. and it is real
ized that half year is none too long
time to devote to that purpose. With
out going further into details concern
ing the purely domestic part of the
training. it is quite proper here TO men,
tion briefly the subjects included in the
complete course. They are cooking and
serving, general homework. chamber
work, parlor work, laundry work, sew
ing and mending.
Outside of the purely domestic course
lessons are given in reading and SPELL
ing, penmanship and letter writing,
arithmetic and geography. Besides
there is daily Scripture lesson. The
very first thing new pupils are taught
is the care of woodwork. the best way
of cleaning it. how to wash it always,
the way of the grain. etc. Then they
are initiated into tho mysteries of stain
ing and waxing a floor. how to darken
woodwork when 1t has ''worn light,
ms it will sometimes. and so on All
this information is impaired in the leo
lures before mentioned. of which the
pupils are required to mako notes To
one not acquainted with the working
of the school this would seem to be u
strange proceeding, inasmuoh as large
percentage of the pupils are quito ig-
norant of the English language when
they enter this institution. Bearing
this in mind, the reader will understand
that one of the most important pur-
poses of the school is the teaching of
English, and this is greatly facilitated
by this plan of notcmaking at the very
first lecture. OF course an interpreter is
necessary to explain the lectures to nom
English speaking pupils, but they must
make their notes in English and are
helped to do so by the teacher, who
writes upon the blackboard the things
she wishes them to copy in their books.
1t is remarkable how we'll they do this
and how serviceable they find these
copied notes at later period, when
they can read and understand them.
The oral instruction is followed by OBJ
ject lessons, of course-that is. the teach
or herself does all things she requires
the pupils to do, and they are then re-
quired to initiate her closely.
The homework lessons only require
six hours each day. In the afternoon
the girls take lessons in English and
sewing. While doing their work the

From Single Solid Rock.
If the full story of the huge stone
that recently lay partly imbedded in the
earth near Waterloo, Ia. could be told,
it would doubtless prove very fascinat-
ing reading and an invaluable contribu-
ton to scientific literature. Ages ago
the mammoth bowlder, weighing near
~ 5000 tons, was detached from some
mountain, perhaps thousands of miles
to the north of Waterloo, and fell upon
one Of natures great stone boats, gla-
cier. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, the
gigantic mass of snow and ice moved
south with irresistible force, carrying
the 3, 900 ton monolith with it as easily
as a boy would carry pebble ON his
sled AS the climate grew warmer and
the glacier wasted away beneath the
warm kiss of the sun the monolith was
finally deposited upon the earth. Since
then seven feet of blue clay, six feet of
sand and eight feet of rich, dark soil
have been deposited around it.
Not long ago the Presbyterians OF
Waterloo decided to build church.
Stone was scarce in the vicinity, and
covetous eyes were turned toward the
great bowlder that had slipped practi-
cally intact from the grinding arms of
the glacier and battled successfully with
the storms and upheavals of ages. Ma
