coed condition now Nv. ....s
We wish to tell you something
about the girls in this letter. On
Fridays the girls crochet, and sew
petticcats and dresses. The dresses
are mostly made on a new Singer
sewing machine. This machine is the
pride of the school. There is also
an old hand machine, used by the
lower grades.
The scEeol also owns victrola,
and many fine march records which
are played every day. These were
earned by the children. They gave
q concert which many people OF Ko-
hala attended. The children made
enough money TO pay for the yictrola
and records. Though we worked very
hard we are now very glad the school
owns a monograph.
Our school expects to have kitchen
which viii be a great joy to the girls
