Gentlemen.
You will have noted in my bien-
NAL report to the Governor and
the General Assembly that l re-
quest in addition to other amounts
for this Institute during the next
two years a sufficient increase in
funds for maintenance to admit of
the establishment of q course of
study for the training of teachers.
l took this step advisedly and
| not until l had consulted many
prominent educators in the State,
including State Supt. Aswell. Pre-
sident Boyd, President Caldwell,
Profs. Bennett, Keeny, Harris and
others, and without exception these
gentlemen expressed cordial APP
prevail of the plan, most of them
even deeming it positive neces-
sity because the State needs 700
teachers year and has to import
nearly 600 of these or else accept
unframed teachers.
1t will be very eimple thing to
add such course of study to
those we now have in the 1nsti-
tute. 1t is not as if we proposed
to establish a new institution.
Every member of the Faculty we
now have will be teacher of those
students who take the course for
the training of teachers. All we
need for the course is one strong
Professor of Pedagogy and two or
three grade teachers to have charge
of the classes oflittle children who
form the model school where the
pupils teachers will have their op-
portuuity for practice teaching"
during short period each day.
Such a step will be directly in
line with the original purpose OF
this Institute, which is to give
practical education and so far as
possible enable young men and
women to be self-supporting when
they leave here. A very large
number OF those who come here,
or have applied to come, have de.
sired to become teachers-but we
have not as yet received a suffi-

The Old Linen Sheets.

The woman who has some old linen
sheets Of her grandmother days, is to
be greatly envied for they make the
handsomest portieres and bedspreads
imaginable. Z
A handsome bedspread was evolved
from pair. Of large-sized linen sheets,
which had borders embroidered across
the top and had handsome monograms.
The monogram was cut out Of one of
the sheets and appliqued into the mid
die of the sheet used as a spread, and a
wreath worked around it, the design of
which matched the borders. The en-
broidered ends were then cut off from
both sheets and Joined with hemstitch-
ing along the two sides Of the spread, to
hang down at the sides of the bed. The
monogram from the second sheet was
appliqued in the same way to piece
Of that sheet, to form a bolster roll
This work was all done in white work
ing cotton. - =

Of JOY - to any artist was made by an
art craftswoman
The maker took linen sheet woven
by her great-grandmother 100 years
ago. This linen in itself would give ar
effect impossible with any machine
made goods. She dyed it in vegetable
dyes. The foundation is of dull, OLD
blue, and the color is uneven, varying
from light to dark. This effect was OBJ
tanned by keeping some Of the material
covered in the dye pot, On this ole
blue ground are stenciled punches of
purple grapes and large, indistinct
masses of grayish green leaves. It is 9
thing that no factory could make an6
no hand could exactly duplicate. If the
maker tried to duplicate it she could not
| do Just the same thing again. That is
the beauty of handmade things.

A Decorative Hint.

When a room is to be furnished and
decorated at the smallest possible cost,
1t must be remembered that the COM
fort of it's occupants depends more on
the nature Of the furniture than of the
wall decorations or carpet. In living
room Of this kind. it is best to tint the
walls and put a cheerful drugget on
the floor, keeping as much money as
possible for the purchase Of comfortable
chairs and sofas and substantial tables.
If little can be spent In buying furni-
ture, willow arm chairs (not rattan, as
the models aref too bad) with denim
cushions and solid tables with stained
legs and coversaof denim or corduroy
will be more satisfactory than the par
Tor suit, turned out in thousands by the
manufacturer Of cheap furniture or the

apparently meant for millionaires
alone. No housekeeper can see, un-.
moved, white porcelain refrigerator,
banded with nickel, spotless within
and without, without wishing it for
herself. There is no other kind which
is SO light inside that every corner is
visible to the eye of the maid as well
as mistress, none more easy to keep
clean, and none 80 altogether perfect
in every arrangement for keeping food
sweet and making ice last.
The slate-lined and shelved refriger-
ators are good, easily cleaned, while
not as expensive as either porcelain or
glass. Their drawback is that one can
not see dirt or grease on sides or
shelves; only strong candle light or
sunlight will reveal it, and then it is
best to pass the hand over the surface
to detect it. Of course, slate is non
porous, so that if it is carefully washed
and wiped dry twice a week or oftener
it is perfectly sanitary. y,
An old-fashioned and long-used zinc
lined refrigerator is always a menace.
The zinc will crack and the wood be-
come permeated with odors; it is diff
fcult to keep it from leaking from the
top icebox; it allows food spilled on
it to hide in the edges. Still, it can be
kept clean as long as it is not cracked.
A refrigerator should not have too
large an icebox. The more compact it
Is and the better the cake Of. ice fits
in, the less melting there will be. Space
around the ice is wasteful. This is one
reason why one should be content with
a box which Is just large enough for
use. Is. - - <. .
