have been hurt in the shops, and have permitted their lordly lacerated limbs to be bandaged. The work described above is covered in two terms, in the Sixth and Seventh Grades, and now that additional time has been allowed for the domestic science course, the class plans a model house or apartment, and is working out schemes of decorating and furnishing the house. The serving of luncheons and preparation and management of afternoon teas is also a part of the work of the advanced class. We all love most dearly the home which we ourselves Domestic Art as a Dr. Larkins, in an address given before the University of the State of New York, has defined his concept of the aim of the manual training school thus: The aim of the manual training school is to develop the pupils, capabilities. The personal end is a clear working brain, there is no imme- diate end. The constructive work is changed as soon as the pupil begins to be automatic in his processes. Accuracy is demanded in order to train the attention and the will. The main thing is growth and adaptability, or, as some one has put it, to furnish the pupil with a means of finding himselff, As a factor in this great educational scheme, the hand work, as taught in the domestic art department, was intro- duced and its outline planned. The department is not trying to train the girls to be seamstresses, milliners, or dressmakers. Should any of them, however, decide to take up one of these trades as a life work, T5 have helped to make. The actual making of some article, therefore, for our school home, is just now keeping the class busy and happy. Thus, whatever knowledge has been ac- quired previouslyiin construction and design is being used now in our model house. The girls are being sent out ready to meet and conquer the difficulties of the home-maker, and worthy to be praised in the words of King Solomon: She looketh well to the ways of her household and eateth not the bread of idlenessf' Factor in Education Hhaving found themselvesf, we believe that the course will gnake ap solid foundation to build on. T A Our aim is to develop the girl through material construc- tion. Through the study of detail, to reproduce, from good models, well-formed, well-made garments. Through the study of color and design, to make becoming hats and dresses. Through freedom in the expressing of one's ideas, to construct something which bespeaks the personal taste of the maker. During the hrst term a skirt is made-quick workers add a waist, darning stockings, mending or patching of garments completes the work. Next term the shirtwaist and cooking outfit fill the time. Illustrations for first year's work. The work is dropped for cooking during the succeeding year, followed by millinery, and finished with the making of a simple wash dress. V
