SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS. MISS L. V. CREAGER, Teacher. ISS CREAGER comes to- us highly recom- mended. She has studied under the best teachers in this country and in Paris. She has had a num- ber of years, experience, having taught in Canada, Balti- more, Washington, Nashville, and other smaller places. She is well qualified to teach Art in all its branches, including china decoration, tapestry and p-ymgraphy. A friend writes us: tiMis-s Creager I know person- ally, and it affords me a great deal of pleasure to say that she is one of the most cultured women that I have ever come in contact With. She is as tine a teacher of Art as is employed in any young ladies college. Her advantages have been superior and the fact that she has been able to teach iii centers like Baltimore and W ash- ington indicates merit of the highest order. Her China and T apestry work is pronounced by the finest judges to be exquisite, and indeed she would make a reputation for herself along this line, as well as along the lines of higher Art, that should be most gratifying to her? The Art Department at Liberty College Offers to its pupils a four years course, the completion of which entitles to a diploma.
