Fo r Indian girlsIndian Pottery only.—A course of instruction in themaking of Cherokee pottery isgiven to the Indians by a Chero-kee Indian graduate. It is hopedto gradually develop othercourses in the native Indian in-dustries. Upholstering and Caning Lessons are giveni n mattress-mak-ing, the caning of chairs and oth-er branches of up-holstery, for the purpose of en-abling the students to make orrepair various articles of house-hold furniture.
