Watts De Peyster School for Girls Will Open Next Monday.

The Watts de Peyster School for Young Girls, heretofore known as the Monnett, will open next Monday and the students will be instructed at the school, instead of being sent to the public school, as heretofore. There Will be four instructors and a housekeeper, and sixteen girls between the ages of six and twelve have been accepted. They will be taught the CQmmon school branches and in addition to that will be instructed in domestic science branches, taught how to sew, how to cook, how to keep house, etc. The cost of sendjng a child to the school is only sl2 per month, and the institution has to have some outside help, and a field worker or two will assist in procuring help from outside sources. The school has the sup port locally also of a number of charitable people who have often delighted the superintendent with gifts of a substantial kind. The Monnett home has been remodeled during the past year and put into excellent shape for the school term. Another'year will probably see it considerably enlarged and the attendance increased.
