Collection:: Economics Books

The ideals of the Winchester School were always of the highest levels, and the members of the faculty were ever chosen for their ability to measure up to the high ideals pre- vailing in the management of the school, as well as for their high standing in the world of education and in the depart- ments they were chosen to teach. It was because of these ideals, and of the teachers chosen to inculcate them, that the school has prospered and expanded, until its present enroll- ment is between 250 and 300 girls. The course of study is thoroughly practical and complete, for it takes children through the Montessori and kindergarten grades, and proceeds upward, through college preparatory work, which has become exceptionally well known through- out the United States, and Winchester students are welcomed in the highest institutions of learning. By June of this year, when commencement exercises take place, 474 girls will have been graduated by the Winchester School. Many of these graduates have successfully passed the courses of the larger Eastern colleges for women, having received degrees from Vassar, Smith, Mount Holyoke, Wellesley and Bryn Mawr. A smaller number have graduated from universities and art schools. The Winchester is a private school, conducted by Miss M. A. Graham Mitchell.
