1611 in pu- on- cu- his PHYSICAL CULTURE. The college owns an admirably lighted, well heated and thoroughly ventilated gymnasium. It is fully supplied with necessary appliances-weights, bars, rings, clubs, bells, etc., etc. The College campus also presents abundant opportun- ity for healthful exercise. On the beautiful lawns, games -as croquet, tennis, eto-can be indulged in to the young ladies health and great delight. Much outdoor exercise at suitable seasons will be required. In fact, we encourage and require all outdoor exercise possible, consistent with good government and work. HEALTH RECORD. It would be hard to find a more healthful location for a school. Our health record is a matter of wonder to all who know it. This climate is especially benehcial to girls from the South and extreme Northwest. The following is from the United States Health Bulle- tin, published in New York, September, 1902. We do not know the author, and knew nothing of the article until we saw it in print. SCHOOLS AND HEALTH. During the month of September several hundred thou- sand of young Americans will leave their homes to attend some institution of learning. How many parents realize just what that phrase-Jlleave homelC-means? Few, we fear, really grasp the idea embodied-ethe fact that not only are the moral influences of the home life no longer to sur- round the child, but that the careful supervision of their physical welfare with which the parents have guarded their sons and daughters is to give place to another, and too often, a different state of affairs.

We discourage expensive dressing, and the use of expensive jewelry. UNIFORM. On Sundays, as well as all public occasions, the board- ing pupils are required to wear uniform. This is economy and prevents distinction in dress. It consists of black dress, Oxford gown and cap. The gown and cap are to be purchased after entering school. The cost of the gown will not exceed $10, and the cap will cost $2.50. The dress may be of any serviceable material, but must be black. Only black trimmings are allowed. Only white and black are allowed for neckwear. No heavy wrap or winter hat need be provided, as the gown and cap are sufficient. Dur- ing fall and spring the uniform is plain white waist and black skirt, and plain white straw hat, with black ribbon band as trimming. No party or evening dresses are allowed on any occaS1on. SPECIAL COURSES. Pupils sufliciently matured, who wish to take special or irregular courses, may do soeprovided the President shall decide that the selected course is preferable to attain the end in View. Special courses are arranged for those who have been teachers or desire to become teachers, and certificates of their grades and the work done will be presented when they leave. We take special interest in instructing and training in Instrumental Music, Vocal Music, Art and Elocution, pu- pils who wish to become teachers of these branches. Con- servatories of Music, Art Schools and Schools of Elocu- tion present no better opportunity for such pupils than this College presents. 58 ax .-. l Rh
