The practical application of the theory was made under the supervision of Mrs. L. A. Paesons and Miss M. Moetimee, who, after careful examination, were happy to devote themselves to this work. The plan for the school was as follows:
1. The citizens of a large town, where a school is needed, shall organize a board of trustees, impartially representing the several religious denominations of the place; and this board shall as¬ sume the responsibility of support for four well qualified teach¬ ers. These teachers shall be nominated first by the association represented by Miss Beeciiee, afterwards vacancies shall be filled by the nomination of the remaining teachers; all nomina¬ tions being siibmitted for approval to the board of trustees.
2. The fom* teachers shall constitute a Facility., each being the head of a given department, and no one having control over the others. Questions of general interest to the school shall be settled by a vote of the faculty, one of whom, at their discretion, may be chosen to an ofiice corresponding to that of President of a college.
No large boarding establishment was to be connected with the school. The plan proposed in the future, three additional de¬ partments— the Normal, the Health and Domestic depart¬ ments.
Friends gathered to the new enterprise — Mrs. Byeon, Mrs. Dr. Lapham, Mrs. A. D. Smith, now all passed to their reward, Mrs. G. P. Hewitt, Mrs. Dr. Geeeves, Mrs. W. P. Flandees and others, earnest in labor and self denial. In 1851, the school

| Description | As the 100th anniversary of the American Revolution approached, a U. S. Centennial Commission was organized with one representative from each state and territory to plan a celebration. The result was the Centennial International Exhibition of 1876, the first official World's Fair in the United States, held in Philadelphia. Women in each state, as well as men, were invited to contribute, and this book records one way that Wisconsin women participated. The volume, edited by Anna B. Butler, Emma C. Bascom, and Katharine F. Kerr, describes the charitable and philanthropic work done over the previous 50 years by Wisconsin women, including articles on the early history of the Wisconsin Institution for Blind in Janesville, Milwaukee College, the Soldiers' Orphans' Home in Madison, and many other social service institutions. It also describes how women across the state celebrated the centennial of the Declaration of Independence and the beginning of the new country. |
