make over clothing; how to select good
materials and ready-to-wear; what kind
of clothes to wear; how to design cloth
ing, etc. Miss Magee said that it is
not the intention Of this department to
make seamstresses or cooks of the pu-
pills but to make them good housekeep-
ers, real artists in the management, o.
the home.J ..
Miss Florence Ring read a compost
! tion on "The Value of Domestic
Science which she had prepared and
which was very good. This was follow
ed by several other pupils showing good

Miss Lyon briefly outlined the course
of study of the commercial department,
after which she dictated two letters,
two pupils writing same in shorthand
on the blackboard, using the Gregg and
! Paragon system, and several others
taking same on paper. The pupils then
