(2) Intermediate Class. The Beginners' Class gives most of its time to hand sewing, the Intermediate Class emphasizes machine sewing. The work is a repetition of the principles taught in the Beginners' Class, but is presented in a different manner, with new applications. Orders are taken from individuals or business houses for the garments which are made in this course. The price is that of the trade. These orders furnish a market for the entire output of the class. A certain amount of class instruction is given, but the girls are expected to do independent work under supervision. OUTLINE OF WORK IN INTERMEDIATE CLASS 1.
