A South Carolina school teacher

A South Carolina school teacher

vile. She stayed at house where
the service was all furnished by the
industrial school of the city. Tho
cook, tho dining room servant and
the housemaid had all attended this
school. Tho food was prepared as
well as food can be, the dining room
was not only sweet and clean, but
artistic and inviting, and the. halls,
parlors and sleeping rooms were
almost spotlcss. Probably there was
no other help, unless man did some
heavy work round the yard and
kitchen. 1t would be interesting to
know what the industrially trained
girls who have been graduated at
Winthrop and those who did not
finish the course are doing. Winthrop,
everybody knows, was an experiment
as lar as the industrial training de-
partmcnt is concerned, and a state
ment from President johnson aa to
the successful outcome of this de-
partment would be of interest
throughout the State. DO Winthrop
