mind as being suitable, without the
intention, however, of thereby limiting
the arts and industries which shall be
taught in the said school"

healthful and attractive; it being my
purpose to provide in the City Of

residue of my estate will make prac-
ticable, a school and home in which
worthy women dependent upon their
own efforts for their livelihood may
obtain proper training in useful arts
and industries, and at the same time.
