A Worthy Institution.

The preliminary work preparing to
establish the Dressmaking and
tailoring school in DEBORAH has met
with such cordial endorsement by the
ladies that quite number have al
ready arranged to take instructions,
and in few days the school will be in
full operation.
This movement in behalf of higher
education for ladies is deserving OF
their hearty support, and the origin
ators of the Diamond Garment Cutter
claim that parents owe duty to their
daughters to
LIST. Educate them in such a manner
that they can earn a good living by
their own efforts if such a thing
should become necessary.
End. To be able to look after their
own clothing, and see that it is made
correctly and in becoming style.
3rd. To be able when the proper
time comes to honorably and Intelli.
gently look after the affairs of her own
home.
4th. To be able to impart useful
knowledge to her daughters and prep
are them for the duties of life.
9Th. That a woman may be indie.
pendent and earn her own living as a
matter of right, and not compromise
her dignity thereby.
9Th. That educating the eye and
the hand is useful rart of education.
9TH. That no part that is required
to make well rounded, full and COM
plete education should be neglected
but if through necessity some part
must be neglected it should not be the
practical but the lighter and more
theoretical.
8th. That a systematic and scientific
practical education is actually neces-
sary, if the country at-large is to make
the advancement that the civilization
of the age demands and in no place is
this education more needed than in
the household.
9th. That the requirements of the
age demands an unlimited knowledge
of how to dress with economy, and
comply with the requirements of the
prevailing styles. That here are some
strong statements pointedly made,
none can deny and that they are true
cannot be questioned.
The Garment Cutter people do not
claim that their school is panacea
for all, but they rightly claim that it
is a long step in the right direction.
Call at the st. Cloud hotel and see the
cutter demonstrated, it costs you moth
ing but your time and you will feel
well repaid for that or address Lock
