The work was taken up last year, and
there was class Of ten girls. Special.
" adapted quarters were secured for
the cooking class. Only the ordinary
equipment found in most homes were
used, in order that when the girls
come home, they will still feel that
the work is the same as that which
they learned at school. When they
come home they can continue to play
school.
For the cooking, only the common
kitchen utensils were used; an ordi-
nary kitchen wood stove in good or
der, and two kerosene stoves. What
ever the girls prepared, they ate in
class, and there were always those
who wished that they could be along
then. A long list of good things was
made during the year.
In sewing, too, splendid progress
was made during the year. Particu-
lar attention was paid to the differ
ent' kinds Of stitches, seams, hens,
and the various kinds of mending.
Drafting, cutting, fitting and making
of garments was also part of the
work in the sewing class.
The music department at North
Star College last year had the largest
enrolment. instruction is offered on
piano, organ, pipe organ, and IN note
y reading, and if there will be enough
call for it, teacher in vocal music
will be secured.
On the 10th of August, class in
so'called Kindergarten music will be
organized at North Star College.
Children of any age will be allowed
to take up the work; but it is especi-
ally adapted for those who are in the
lower grades in the school. The idea
is to secure for the pupil
a firm musical foundation, one
that will create an intense
interest in and strong desire
for musical education. It is not ne
cesarry, tho it may be desirable, that
music lessons should be taken during
the time that the class work is car
ried on; since it would be the best
way to put into practice what is
learned. The charges for the work
will be so low, that it will be only
enough to show that the pupil means
to take. up the work in good faith,
and to make the attendance regular.
The class will be organized and work
VIII be begun in one of the college
rooms in the Washington building at
four o'clock, August the twenty-sixth
| Miss Haglund, one of our enthusiasts
| tic and highly efficient teachers, will
conduct the work We would urge as
many as possible to come from the
beginning. We are sure the work
will be extremely interesting, and at
the same time most instructive Mu-
sic lessons can also be taken at any
time after August 18th.
: The commercial department at
North Star. College is stronger than
at most other schools for various
reasons. The teachers are all ex-
rerts in their lines, and individual at
tention is given each student every
day and in every class. Last spring
certain student objected when told
ne must attend every class and at
tend to his work. He said that it is
his own look out if he misses some of
the work. Just on such questions as
this is where a teacher can make or
unmake the career of both an indi-
vidual and a school.
The course includes all the subjects
necessary for the thoro foundation of
complete Business education. An
other reason why the course is esne.
c1ally strong is the fact that the stud
ent has the opportunity of taking any
work in the other departments for
which he may be prepared. This is
OF special value in the study of Eng
llsh, sipce the student can be placed
in a class where the work is exactly
suited to his needs.
Ihere are many Business scools
that have no language study at all;
and others, if they have, it is only a
poor excuse. What can painter do
without brush? A carpenter without
TOOLS? A woodcutter, without an Ak?
A stenographer without machine?
A student, a business man, or any one
else, without a general knowledge of
plain every day English? North Star
college urges upon everyone the great
Importance Of the study of English.
The graduates and students from
North Star College have obtained
splendid positions, and are doinu
