A. Graves several days! one of the pupils in the . Grade of our Schools: , Our school was taken through the i Domestic Science Room one day last week and we all enjoyed it very much. We entered the sewing room first Eighth | |ly it was furnished and the way it was fixed up. There were a number of sewing machines placed in different parts of bles en which the girls who are tak- ing the sewing course had placed their sewing bags. Some of the giris were sewing while we were in the rooms; they were working on towels fancy work and other small things I understood that they are to learn later how to sew large, fine things. We were allowed to look around i the sewing room then we were led to | the bedroom. It was furnished in white and certainly was very pretty to look at. Its object is to teach the girls how to make beds. Many re- marks were made on the neatness of the room and the bed. Later we passed to the dining room which was furnished in oak. It was very nice ‘looking and clean like the bedroom. After looking around the dining room we started toward the kitchen land on each side of the door stood a girl with a large plate of candy in her hand and every one of us was offered a large piece which of course we accepted. : ‘ The kitchen was arranged very conveniently and I think would be a pleasant place in which to work. There were two large tables running lengthwise of the room, and also =z stove on which the candy and other things were cooked. After looking around the kitchen a litfle more we passed into the laun- dry. They had a girl to iron with the electric iron to display it to us. It ironed very easily and fice than the flat irons. . We spent about five minutes in the laundry, then we passed back to our own school room. We talked the most of the day about what we saw and how well we liked it.
