The Condition Of the Girls.
Taken as a whole, the girls at the
school are finally a healthy lot, consid.

ly all have passed.
Two physicians located on the

clans report gives a better insight in
to the conditions OF the girls who go
there than may be obtained through
any other channel:

One hundred and seventy-fve, or

A great many of the girls needed at

had done to the system.
Most all of the girls had to have
