The state industrial school at Fort Grant is in thriving condition. At the girls dormitory there are 20 girls in new building, well equipped and thoroughly sanitary. Ms. J. Fl. Lar son is the matron, assisted by Miss Laura Watson and Mrs. N. M. Neal. Mrs. Neal holds two sessions of three hours each in school every day. and the work of the girls in the various grades reflects credit on teacher and pupils alike.
 The girls each have daily duties to perform, consisting of the various work in a we'll equipped home, and from these duties they are changed around as occasion requires. They are also instructed and made competent to keep in repair their own clothing. Monday is wash day. when every girl has to see that her clothes are in good sanitary condition, and then comes ironing day, and again each one knows her place and duty. And so every day brings it's regular work, until every one learns the proper, way to handle the various tasks of housekeeping.
 Plain and fancy sewing also is a part of the curriculum in this part of the institution and some really hand some work is turned out in this de- partment. which also does the repair ing on the boys clothing.
 For amusement and recreation the girls attend the picture show every Monday from to g p. m. Tuesday and Saturday evenings are devoted to practice in singing in quartets and choruses. On other evenings drills and games of various kinds are enjoyed, while the photograph and the piano are in constant use. On Sunday all attend chapel at 10:30. The superin- : tendent is Jthe speaker.
 Dormitory is the home of 20 small boys. ranging in age from to IS years. Many of the boys are friend less and are therefore appreciative of the thoughtful attention of Mir. and Mrs. H. l.. Layton, who are the cottage father and mother, doing the cooking and the cleaning and the work inci- dent to a well regulated home. Dish washing, preparation of vegetables cleaning rooms. making up beds, car ing for bathrooms and all work of this character is taught to all the boys liv- ! ing here.f Amusement and recreation is of a varied character suited to boys of this age. Monograph music, in- structive games, both in the house and out doors, are enjoyed. as are also pic ture show and singing practice. Sev- eral of these boys are also making good headway in the school band.
 The old dormitory is for the use oi the larger boys. who do much of the heavy work of the school, such as faSming, building fences. clearing blowing and planting ground, and look | ing after pigs. milking cows. cutting and hauling wood, and attend school as their turn comes, either morning ol afternoon.
