9, Hue De La Jperle, Paris. If There Be ...
We address ourselves to working people ; the low price of our instruction brings it within reach of all . We have even wished
that the doors of our school could be thrown open . so widely that no mother could complain of having found them closed , and we
have founded scholarships a fourth part , half , and even entirely free , according to the extent of our resources .
The school , owing to its hygienic conditions and its choice of professors , entails great expenses ; we trust ourselves , however ,
without fear , to the future . We have already collected a sum which enables us to provide for immediate wants ; other helpers
will join us ; generous hearts are never wanting to carry out ideas .
generous We appeal for the adhesion of those who are already numbered , and will soon be numbered among the unknown friends of our work .
Those ladies only can be members of the society who engage to subscribe annually twenty-five francs . Our school being founded
with a view to the public interest , without any admixture of private seculationall the receipts will be expended in improvements
of p which an , account will be given at a general meeting to be held once a year in the month of March .
The founders and directors having no pecuniary interest whatever In the undertaking , we may be allowed to add that the subscriptions
of all who desire to join in carrying out , or in improving our work , will be thankfully received . At the public meetingan account will
be iven of the donations receivedand the names , of the donors will g be published every year at , the end of the report of the
committee . The annexed programme makes it unnecessary to enter into
details respecting the professional school . The apprenticeship , as will be seen , lasts three years ; during these three years the pupils
receive every morning lessons which , though confined to useful knowledyet embrace a progressive development wisely provided for .
For ge , the rest , we have neglected nothing which might be necessary to make each business complete in its department . Thus , we have
added to the commercial course , the study of English , and to the needlework departmenta demonstration of cutting out and
design-, ing patterns , kindly undertaken by a skilful practitioner . We can henceforth oifer to families a choice among several businesses , our
workshops will be increased in proportion to the development of the school . the council of administration will also be actively employed
in ascertaining , what businesses , adapted to women , can be thrown open to them . We shall gladly receive any information on this
subject . With all these elements of success we are about to commence ;
we confide the future of our work to God , and the sympathizing protection of all women , all mothers , and all friends of progress .
