that they shall be an integral part of

placed In charge of the work. 1t Is
one OF tho most interesting places on
the school grounds Many of the girls
spena' their first year there. The
work of washing and ironing clothes
has been changed from dull routine
to an interesting series OF lessons
The girls pass from one part of the
work to another, SO as to gain thor
ough knowledge of the whole. When
tho days work is over they go to the
laboratory, where they learn from act
ual experience how blucing and soap
arc made. They study textiles; UNI.
der the microscope they watch the
effect of hot and cold water upon
wooden cloth. They pass to the class
room, and their first study of English
has to do with the work OF the day
and their experiments in the labora-
tory. They write about the things they
have known and done. The result is
that their language Is simple and ex-
act. Their words have experiences
behind them. When they 20 to the
arithmetic class their problems also
have to do with the work of the day.
They are learning how much soap and
starch are needed In the washing of
IL certain number of clothes. So their
daily work is dIgnified by being made

ton.
