This purpose is being admirably carried out. All students do their work under spe. cialists who have gotten their train- ing in the leading colleges and uni- versities of this country and Eu- rope. The young woman who wishes to take a regular college course and to receive the diploma of the college, i8 offered work in English, forejgn languages, both ancient and modern, and the va- rious sciences. Young women wish- ing to devote themselves to the fine arts such as music, art and expres. sion, are offered advantages in these fields obtainable nowhere else in the State, and at very few places in the entire South, Those who wish to study the domestic sciences and arts can obtain at this college facilities unsurpassed anywhere, except in the large universities. Young women who wish to prepare to teach in the public schools, have at their com- mand the services of specialists in the fields of high school, grade, pri- mary and kindergarten work. But these departments are by no means exclusive of each other. Judiclous combinations of work in the several departments are possible, and are continually being made under the advice and direction of the faculty The library and laboratory equip- ment of the college necessary for carrying on all the lines of work named, is large and thoroughly mod- ern and up to date. The moral and religious tone of the college is high. The soclal life is attractive. All classes of stu- dents work together cheerfully and happily. The expenses are as low ag is consistent with the excellent advantages given, Every young (woman in Florida who {s thinking {of going to school for any lhne of study, should give thoughtful con. ideration to the claims of the Flor- |ida State College for Women.
