Miss Floris Culver of the Ex-

Nocona in instructing a class in
“Home Economics.” The lect

age of fifty-one ladies, by far the
largest class in this work so far.
As a result of Miss Culver’s visit
the women of Nocona will form a
home economics class and intend
having a live class of young
women interested in the work.
