the Sabbath! Roommate meets roommate, quick to resent and as quick to
forgive--and the petty strife and envy suppressed at birth only serve
to discipline them for the coming days.

Up with the rising bell at five, the duties of the room are almost
finished when the girl leaves her beds to air while she takes her six
o'clock breakfast. Social amenities, the niceties of table-training, and
the tricks of speech that betray the sectional birthright, proclaim to
the ever-observant table-mates the status of each newcomer, and she
rises or falls in estimation just so far as her metal rings true. Thus
another element enters into her life, one that will prove a potent force
in balancing character; for the frankly expressed criticisms of
schoolmates play no small part in the development of students.

If a girl be one of the forty-five waitresses on the eighty-nine tables
of the dining-room, she eats her breakfast as the other students march
out, then finishes her room-duties and is ready for work at ten minutes
of seven wherever she happens to be assigned. If she is a dishwasher,
she does that work, waits for inspection of the table that she has set,
finishes her room-duty, and is admitted into her work division at half

Gardening and greenhouse work are becoming so attractive through the
Nature-Study classes of the Academic Department that there are constant
applications for transfers from the sewing divisions to this outside
work. Equipped in an overall gingham apron and sunbonnet of the same
material, the girl begins her duties, and no prouder girl can be found
than she who takes her first basket of early spring vegetables to the
Teachers' Home.

If the day is to be spent with the whole agricultural force of girls
picking strawberries for the tables of the Boarding Department and the
local market, the stage takes the group out to the patch two miles back
on the farm--and that is happiness unalloyed for the schoolgirl. When
she correlates her outing with her school work on the day following,
there is seen nature at first-hand in the class-room.

If other classmates have been working in the Plain-Sewing Division
turning out cotton underwear and plain articles of clothing to supply
the demand of the Salesroom of the institution, the lesson in English
has a natural, practical bearing, arising from the fact that one hour
has been spent with the theory class of the workroom studying the warp
and woof of the materia
