Additional costs included Music, $20; German, $10; Drawing, $10 and “Washing, per dozen, $.75.” A principal and six teachers were engaged who organized a regimen aimed at dispelling fears that “hard mental labor” for girls would famish the resources of the body.” Rising at 5:30, students retired at 9:30 after a day characterized by thorough studies, suitable food and regular habits.
