many of the young women desiring
the courses offered. that the space de-
voted to the work was wholly made
quate, and this year very extensive
apartments have been placed at the
disposal of Mrs. Cotey, who Is at the
head OF the department. The old
rooms have been retained, the laundry
has been moved into a new addition
built for 1t especially, and the kitchen
now occupies its original location
with the addition of the room vacated
by the laundry. This gives the girls
a great deal more room, and offers the
opportunity for the installation of
ranges and cooking utensils sufficient
to get the best possible results from
the work. The efficiency of the courses

the various towns of the valley, and
accounts for the present popularity of
the department.

ment has already been enlarged and

room is very spacious, is thoroughly
lighted and is all so bright and new
