A home school for girls owned and managed by the Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It is well managed and its work is effective. It forms a part of the educational activities of Wiley College.

Attendance.—Total, 35; all boarders.

Teachers.—Total, 4; white 2, colored 2. Organization.—The girls boarding in the home receive training in household care and attend classes at Wiley College. Courses in cooking, sewing, and millinery are also given for the girls in Wiley College.

Financial, 1913-14.—The income amounted to $2,308, practically all from the Woman's Home Mission Society. Of this, $1,160 was expended for salaries and the remainder for running expenses.

Plant.—Estimated value, $7,000. The plant consists of about 2 acres of land, a neat two-story frame building, and fairly good furniture and domestic-science equipment. The premises are well kept.
