The proprietor of the City Cafe very generously turn ed over the building and equipment for the benefit of this dinner. All praise to the good ladies for their splendid efforts in behalf of our school girls. There is no subject in the cur riculum that is more practical or val uable than that of domestic science. No dollar invested will return larger dividends. This department is being run by small tuition of one dollar per month supplemented by the con tributions of the club.
