ates in this department we will tee the
cause ill education elevated to a stand
ard never yet attained in the history of
our beloved state. This normal depart*
ment is doing the best work ever done
for the common schools of the state.
Mrliool.
This school is certainly a model of ex
cellence for youthful rntud training, and
gives practical ieisons in teaching to the
normal etudect*. The last two months
forty pupils have been in attendance.
Tuition is charged children in the model
school, and tho number is limited to
forty. Tills school is au adjunct of the
normal department. As the means to
sustain tliia model school were donated
by Dr. J. I,. M. Curry, agent for the
Peabody fund, it is designated the Pea
body Model -School.
Ornament*! Department*.
In the departments of music anil
painting, which embraces pastel, oil and
crayon work, tuitions are charged. The
character of the work done and the
progress of tho pupils in these depart
ments hare been excellent- We recoin
mend, however, that more attention hr
paid to vocal music.
C‘i*11*Klst* Department,
Tho course In this department is m • •
thorough and comprehensive than hi-
heretofore been required of young
ladies. Every branch is taught by am
bitious and talented teachers. The girls
are required to master each study hcfuic
being allowed to pass to another,
Itoanllna Department.
The old executive mansion is used as
boarding department and accommo
dates llfty-four girls. It is in charge of
1200 STRONG.
id vise that girls be discouraged begin*, , , , ,

IL fully determined to pursue it to «»cl, girl doe. her share o the work,
“ 1 pays her pro rata part of the expenaes
which includes the salary of the matron
completion.
Dressmaking.
The dicssnuking department is popu
lar with the gills. The tailor system
i, taught, and tho pupils are required to
do their own drafting and cutting. Ow-
isg n the large number of pupils and
the limited time some have had for
M«iog on account of the number of
Studies they have pureued, all have not
made the desired progress, but thoee
who have given more time to the work
ee found wonderfully proficient. The
dreucs worn by the girl* on commence
ment occasions were almost entirely the
work of their own baode, and were beau
tiful in design and finish.
Lessons In plain sewing are given ae
■ell as in artistic dressmaking. There
hare been fifty-eight regular pupils in
this branch. No certificates were given,
at the standard la high.
Unite a number of the girls hare aided
in defraying their expenses by esrnlng
money from taking in sowing. We con
sider this one of the most important
branches taught In the college. Owing
to % lack of funds, tbs necessary appli
ances (or the room have not been sup
plied.
«(ra«iritphjr. Telegraphy, Typewriting.
The .teuographio department, teleg
raph.! and typewriting are under the
management of one teacher. This de
partment is well equipped, aud splendid
*ork lias lieen done in It. Twenty one
pupils were instructed in stenography
thirteen in typewriting and ten in teleg
tspliv. The requirements for a certili
cate in stenography are a spiced of eighty
•ords |Ier minute, and an accurate trans
cription of words at the rate of twenty-
f-ve per minute.
Cooking.
Tliia department Is under the manage
ment o( a skillful teachsr, who teaches
physiology, hygiene and the chemistry
of cooking, In connection with the prac
tical work. Tbs girls arc taught the
different properties of food and their
affects ou the different organs of the
My. The cooking room contains n
csbiret, wheie the teacher can point out
the various Ingredients contained in a
Pound of most articles of food. The
Properties contatned la n pound of beef
and of almost nil other articles of food,
u * separated and bottled, and the girls
>re taught the food value of each. Lee-
sons aro also given to the important
subject nl domestic economy. Forty
•ere instructed in this department.
They were organixed into three practice
rla»ses to receive a two hours lesson
each week, I.esaons in cooking ate
compulsory in the higher classes. What
a benefit these lessons will he to tho
hundreds of dyspeptics scattered over
’he state. Muscle ami strength depend
less upon what we cat than upon how it
i’cooked.
Drawing, Designing, Clay Modeling.
I lie entire school receives instruction
‘U fieeliand drawing, designing and clay
modeling.
The girls havo made some beautiful
patterns for wall paper, carjieU and oil-
c ‘"tli»: also some designs for laces, some
"I which have been sold to manufacto-
*'*•. It it wonderful to see the origi
nality displayed in some of these de-
ogus. They aro also taught the combi
nation of colors, and the teacher says it
'"gratifying to tee how soon they lesrnto
combi no colors properly and to criticise
a want of taste In tbelr combination*.
This i a one of the most Interesting de
railments in ths college to Tieitaad
Rives promise of gnat usefulness. This
department it important, both as an edu
cational factor **d as an industrial
branch.
Normal Utputmtata
The normal department Is divided Into
•ever*] grades, and has *#veoty-elx
ssMaSSSMSE
No servants are employed except cooks
and a servant to bring in fuel.
The girls put their own rooms In
order, set the table, bring in meals and
wait on the table, and wash the dishes.
Thejcoet of board here during the scho
lastic year, Including lights, fuel sod
washing, baa averaged $9.75 per month.
The old mansion not being large enough
to accommodate all tbe pupils a large
number have boarded with private fami
lies at $12.50 per month. There bat
been no trouble arising from this as
profsssor Chappell hat been extremely
careful to place the girls In tbe best
families, where they have been just as
safe as at home. W* are gratified to be
able to report that an addition Is being
made to the boarding department which
will enable it to accommodate, during
next session, 150 boarders.
It would be to the Interest of the ool>
lege and of tbe state If it bad a boarding
department that would accommodate
300 girls, to be managed upon the co
operative plan.
The attendance during the year has
been 213. A large number of these, we
are informed, are defraying tbelr own
expenaes. Some have made money
teaching school. Free tuition, cheap
board aud small dress hills, which ia the
result of the rule requiring all to wear
the college uniform, have brought the
advantages of the college In reach of
many v ho would never havo been able
to secure sn education.
We learned from one young lady who
bad nude the money to attend the col
lege teaching a country school, that her
entire expanse for the year, including
boaid, books, clothing, washing, rail
road fare and incidentals was $150 85.
The ex|>eose of a course at tbe Georgia
Normal and Industrial college is so
small that It encourages evsry poor and
ambitious girl to make an effort to at
tend, and appeals to the benevolent to
render aid to tbe struggling young
women, who, without an education,
must devote their live* to drudgery.
KmamlaaUea I’apers.
The examination papers In every de
partment gave evidence of careful train
ing and thorough icbolanblp.
The system of making scholarship tbs
test of promotion is rigidly adhered to,
and we heartily commend tbe faculty
for so doing.
The paper* examined were neat and
the Ideas well expressed.
In a few Instance* the spelling was not
correct, but considering the condition of
“aiDr of marketing and in tbe general * • cbo ° l ? 1 ‘J“
bad spelling was remarkable. This de
fect, however, was confined to the lower
elasses. . ....
We were agreeably disappointed In
not finding more room for unfavorable
criticism, for considering tho fact that
this Is the first year of title institution's
work, we did not expect to find its
methods so progressive, Its work so suc
cessful and its standard so high.
No higher tribute could he paid Pro
fessor Chappell and tlio faculty than a
statement of this fact.
That the public may understand the
purpose of Georgia Normal and In
dustrial college, located in the cultured
town of Millegevllle, wo will state It*
purpose in the language of It* president
to be to prepare girl*:
I. T<f do intelligent work as teachers
according to the best methods known to

g.To earn their livelihood by the
practice of some one of thoee industrial
