many hours each day to giving Its pupils an educntlnn which
will hi.tke them graceful end agreeable.
This object, as would be expected, Is difficult Of attain
ment, but Miss Duncan is well fitted, both on account or her
exci Hi nt training and widespread expciientt, for the work of
grace education. Although she lays much stress on physical
training In the attainment of the Ideal of womanly grace and
pirfection, she has found that such a goal is reached only
by a systematic development also of the mind and soul of
the child. Thus It Is that she has found It necessary to train
the child In all three divisions at once. The fundamental
Idea of her method is that only In a sound body can a Bound
mind exist
The Institution is open to girls between the ages of 4 and
