INDUSTRIAL WORK-BOARDING SCHOOLS.

FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD GRADES.

The industrial training of first, second, and third grade pupils attending boarding schools will be given in the regular industrial details by detailing them to work with pupils in the prevocational division.

In assigning pupils to the various industrial details due regard must be given to age, physical condition, kind of work, and hours of

service.

FOURTH, FIFTH, AND SIXTH GRADES.

HOME TRAINING.

This course is to be given to all girls. At least 10 weeks' practice in housekeeping and 30 minutes' instruction daily should be given. Special emphasis should be placed on the last topic in this outline-Motherhood and Child Welfare. This course aims to be a careful and intimate preparation for home making, marriage, and motherhood. Such instruction is of special importance to Indian girls, who will return to a life under more or less primitive conditions, and perhaps in communities in which there will be no one to whom they may go for advice. This is not a class-room course, but is to be given by the matron.in her own room or in the girls' reading room or in some other room in the girls' quarters, where there may be much informality and discussion. The class hour should be fixed for the convenience of the matron. Some of the more scientific lectures may be given by the school physician and the school nurse, but the course is in charge of the matron. She should admit girls to this class in her discretion, considering not school attainment, but age, physical development, and the probability of the girl leaving school before completing the vocational course.

Before the end of the course each girl should be required to make a complete infant's layette.
