The course in bookkeeping extends through two years. The work Is de- signed for pupils in the junior and senior classes. One year is considered as ample time to complete the course in which Is given single and double entry, embracing practical application of business methods. Twenty young women are in the classes this year and they have been signally successful under the instruction of Pro lessor Moore. Booking has been found to also be an inviting field for many, one requiring qualities not always aecred- tied to woman, but experience has shown that when she takes up this special field she fills the position with entire satis- faction The fact that the class at the industrial school numbers twenty shows a decided tendency towarGs this partlcu-

lar line of work which is probably more essential to the education of every wo- man than most people might imagine.
 A knowledge of bookkeeping Is most valuable to any woman who keeps up with the expenses of her house. It does not mean that she need apply the course" to her daily expenditures, but she would find 1t to her advantage to do so Business" matters are supposed to be beyond her understanding, and surprise IS expressed if a woman shows any ability in this direction. But in the well ordered home the woman wants to manage her personal affairs and gener- ally invents a little system of private bookkeeping that is certainly better than not having one at all. The opportuni ties in this department of the school have been quickly taken advantage of by many practical young women and even if they should not make 1t profession the time is well spent in learning accurately, neat ness and system.
 The department of reading and oratory with Mss Hayes as instructor Is one of the most important branches of the school ranking in importance to that of physical educational, both of which is development of power The Emerson and principles of modern educators, to- gether with all that Is best of the old are continually employed. The value of class work is emphasized and the cul- tivation of the voice, expression. boise. the expression that comes from right thinking form part of the instruction.

XOunE women dlIGduS NuSdPNh Ai AtAA' field to stand for a reform, to increase the wage. The tralnlng school in hold ing for an English eligibility Is bringing up the standards to the proper plane. This part of the industrial school work Is certainly one of the most practical of it's many departments,
 Telegraphy.
 The school of telegraphy is also consid- cred one of the most practical or the several industrial departments. Sixteen young women are in the class and to the initiated the class rooms seem to pro vide enough work to keep the entire school of three or four hundred pupils busy at all hours Those who are mas terlng the principles of telegraphy have superior advantages offered them. Mrs. Hudson the instructor is splendidly equipped for the position and inspires the young women in her department to splendid and conscientious work. The number of women telegraphers is con stantly growing and In all the large offices in the country scores of bright. intelligent. girls. fresh from training schools are employed at lucrative wage. 1t Is said that where q girl shows any aptitude for this special line that she readily masters the principles and that with practice and perseverance she Is cupaDlS or HlllllS to lliS cilAAS oeNi9As'N7 ton of the large telegraph companies positions hitherto occupied by men, The office is thoroughly equipped with Bun nelrs latest improved main line instru- ments, keys, relays and sounders. It has practice keys, short lines, and con- nectons, thus making 1t an actual tele- graph offlce transmitting and receiving messages daily Pupils are, of course, taught to receive by sound.
 In learning telesraphy, practice is the main thing to be considered. The office Is open at all times for the pupils who wish to practice after school hours. The course comprises thorough knowledge of Morse sending and receiving also the entire system of bookkeeping, ledger, check report, and account current, as used in the regular telegraph offices.
 The entire course. by diligence, can be completed in one session, though, With the required literary work, we consider it a two years course. Certificates an awarded for ability to receive twenty-five words a minute.

Athletics.

The girls of the Industrial school are greatly interested in athletics. Much en- thushsms has always been taken in the work of the gymnasium and every pupil has to take the, course. The gym nasiuIn is very well equipped and the ex- hibitlons would do credit to any of the wornens classes at the large athletic clubs.
 The young women il their dark blue gymnasium suits made the prettiest pict- ures q morning or two ago when execut- ing some very dlfnra,s movements. They climbed ropes witt lc ability of sailor, and the spiral l1C work and other special features |. most entertaining and interesting j r'-g. Drills, gym nastic games Te,s-.,oJ, aad breathing ex- orcises form a part Of the daily work. Tho instructor. Aiss Wallace, is magnl- ficcntly equipped fo- the work. and under her instruction the pupils have the fn- est opportunities fer physical education.

Instead of there being three or four hundred girls in the Alabama Industrial school there should be 1000
 As the basis of all the regular work of the school, seven courses of literary study are offered. The completion of any one of these, together with one pre- scribed course of technical work-an in- dustrial or fine art, the commercial course, that in education, will be nec- essary for graduation.
 The courses are planned for the aver age student, who will thus require four years for graduation.
 The students maintain the following so- cieties and clubs: The Castalian, the Julia Strudwick Tutwiler. the Alpha, the Emma Hart Willard, the Schumann, the St. Cecilia, the Silhouette the Cap-a-pie Stenographers and the Athletic teams.
 The act creating the Alabama Girls Industrial school was passed by the gen eral assembly in February 1893, the bill for It's establishment having been in troduced by Senator Sol D. Bloch, subse quent to the passage by congress of bill introduced by Representative William r. Aldrleh of Alabama, asking the grant ing of lands to the state of Alabama for the use of the Industrial school for Girls.
 Dressmakng.
 The department of dressmaking under the direction of MISS Burke, Is one or the largest of the school. One hundred and forty-flve young women are in the sewing department. and sixty-five are in the plain sewing department this year. Before they are admitted to the depart ment of dressmaking they must have a knowledge of plain sewing. lnstfae- ton begins with the making of the sew ing bag and apron.
 When the pupil has learned the use Of thlmble and needle. she is taught to cut some simple garment, to put the different parts together to measure, baste, hem, gather and put on bands. Days are set aside for mending, darnng, patching and working button holes.
 All kinds of underwear plain and tucked. are made in this department and the girls are frequently far enough adr vanced to make their uniform waists and plain dresses. Mrs. Chilson is at the head of the plain sewing department.
 In the regular dressmaking department instruction is given. in cutting, httins, putting work together. finishing seams, looming waists, interlinng skirts and hanging them properly After completing this course the pupils enter the class of designing, cutting, fitting and tailoring
 In one of the reports in the dressmaknS department the number of garments cut and made in one school term is given at 29S6. Of this number there were over three hundred orders and the value or the garments was neatly 5000.
 It is certainly most interesting sight
