Interesting Letter From Miss
l. Llura knOWltOn at Chicago

Many uf The Young friends of
M I>s Laura knowlton, will be in
tere>ted in the following eX-
tracts from a private letter writ
ten by her at Chicago, and Civ
ing description of the train
iny school which she is attend
ing in that city, and known as
the Chicago Training School for
Guy, Home and Foreign Mis-
sions:'
The school building is about five
miles from the busine portion of
the city. and in one of the most agree
aple parts Of the city, though we are
often we'll reminded of Chicago's ex
,ensive stock yard districts and pack
ing houses. We have the Lake,
= w ashington Park" and "Chicago
University" within walking distance,
besides several popular churches and
institutions such as "The Home for
Friendless, 1.-THE Little Sisters of the
Poor Home," a large Catholic con-
vent, The Rescue Home" and two
public school buildings in adjoining
blocks.
Our building is quite large and
very comfortably furnished and heat
ed We have plently to eat and fre-
quently pleasant evening reception.
The girls are at liberty to receive
cal lers on Friday evening, as that is
considered our social evening. All
other evenings of the week are consid
cred study hours, and we are not to
leave the building without special
permission.
The regular course is two years. but
there are those with us who are called
"speclals, and who select their
studies and attend but one year, these
however are required to take the bible
study. The aim of the school is to
give good, wholesome Christian edu-
cation. We are in no way denomina-
tional, though the school is con-
Quoted under the name of the Metho-
dist society. 1t is the aim of the
school as the name suggests to edu-
cate workers for city, home, and for
eign mission fields, but each girl is
perfectly free to choose for herself the
work she wishes to do. No one is
forced into the work or compelled to
wear the costume. We are just as
free to choose for ourselves as the
students of your home high school.
Students are free to come into the
: school or go home when they feel in
clined. OF course those who come in
the fall term and remain two years,
doing faithful work receive many ad-
vantages. We receive a diploma
when gradua ed
The expense is as small as it can
possibly be made. All our teacher S
work on the allowance plan and all
supplies are secured at wholesale
prices. -, u
We have summer school begin
ling June 2lst, and continuing until
July 18th. Also Correspondent
course for those who wish to take our
study at home. Our teachers are
planning to organize night school
giving instruction in all the common
branches, open to girls from all parts
of the city. This school is to be free
and is to be held during the entire
year. Tell all your young lady
friends of the ''Chicago Training
School for City, Home and Foreign
Missions. If they have few years
of their lives to give to good works,
if they want broader view of life OF
if they do not know what they wan,
to do, have them write here to the
secretary of 4949 Indiana Ave-, for a
catalogue and admittance blank.
Yours very truly,
| LAURA B. KNOWLTON.
