They are taught everything that a woman
ought to know, or that will add to her worth,
or adorn and beautify her life. Accomplish
ments are not overlooked, but they are made
secondary to the great work of the institution,
and such tilings as music, singing, etc., are
taught not as an accomplishment but as a pro
fession in order that the learner may derive a
comfortable living thereby. Painting
in oil, water colors, or china, etc.,
work in steel, brass, amt bronze, such
as converting a silver cup into the repoussal
style, or a plain piece of tin into a highly orna
mental bread tray or waiter, are taught those
who desire to learn. Wood carving and indus
trial designing are subjects that largo classes
are pursuing, and on tho walls are hung
specimens of their work that would do credit
to tlie practiced hand. These pupils design
patterns here for matting, oilcloths, etc., that
are readily accepted by the manufacturers.
