One of the pleasing features of the
Commencement was the economy prac-
ticed by the young ladies in the matter
of dress and shows the practical utility
of the Manual Training department,
that IS one Of the many excellent re-
suits of Mrs. Emma Plumner's i"erali
ty in providing this department through
the donation of the building. The young
ladies' have been wearing school dresses
that were made by them as students of
the department. The dresses they wore
at the Commencement were Of their
handiwork and the average cost of them
was five dollars each. 1t is too often the
case that some graduates are obliged to
90 to expense beyond their means in or
der to keep mp in style with those more
able to provide expensive clothing and
the example thus set is one that should
be followed by succeeding graduates.
It is democratic and reflects most high
" on them and does not detra ct in the
least from the merits Of the occasion.
