WHY SEND NY GIRL TO F. A.


(5y mother who is a loyal sup
porter of the school.)
Why do l send my girl to the Field
ing Academy? Because love her and
want to give her the best in life. But
how does she obtain the best things
Of life there? BY having built into her
character the things that go to make
q strong and beautiful womanhood:
FIRST. a love and appreciation Of
the gospel This blessing a Latter-Day
Saint prizes above all else. The Lord
through his inspired servants has
established our church school that our
children might have the gloriou priv
ilege of learning of his ways while
they are passing through the years in
which they are most SUSCEPTIBLE to re-
ligious influence. This opportunity is
before our girls. Why should they not
fit themselves to become the mothers
Of the men who are to carry on the
work of the Lord?
SECOND. my girl at F. A. may
study child welfare the care OF little
souls sent to earth to accomplish
great things. What can be more i'm
portant? She may also study home
nursing and care of the sick; thing
that every girl, rich or poor will need
throughout her life.
THIRD, here she is taught home
management and how to use wisely
the income of the family She is also
taught domestic science or the science
of feeding the family, food values anf
the art of cooking these foods SO that
they are delicious to the taste and
! pleasing to the eye.
FOURTH, she is taught to make
and mend her own clothes and those
of the family, thereby becoming able
to adorn herself becomingly by the
workmanship Of her own hands. She
is taught also the identifying and
decorating of the home, making it a
delightful place in which to live.
FIFTH, she is led to see the beauty
in literature and to select that which
is uplifting and soul inspiring. Our
books are our friends and we should
choose them wisely. Their influence is
often as great as that of our assoeia-
ates. My girl at FL A. can, learn how
to become acquainted with the great
est minds the world has produced.
SIXTH. il she wishes she may study
music, Its various branches. become
accomplished in that line and cheer
and entertain herself and others.
SEVENTH, under the influence OF
the teaching of the gospel she may
study history from broadened as.
pect. She may view the panorama OF
the peoples OF the earth with keen
er understanding. She sees the hand
of God In the destinies of nations and
learns to appreciate his oyerruling
providence.
EIGHTH, in addition to all these
special features she may have all OF
the sciences and arts that, can be OBJ
taiined in any high-school.
And last but not least is the envir
onment: The instructors are men and
women of high standards and the stu
dents are striving for the same high
| ideals. An atmosphere of loyalty and
devotion to duty permeates the
faculty and student body II there
! were no book learning to be obtained
maintain that four years of such en-
!, vironment at the time when character
is forming is worth the sacrifice in
time and money True many of the
best things may be obtained at home
4 but other things being equal the girl
who has had four years at a church
school is far better prepared for life
than the one who has not. Her precep
] eeptions of life are broadened; her
sympathies are expanded; she looks
upon life with the thought of service
and not of how much pleasure she can
get and Of how many fine clothes she
| can wear.
