They are trained to see the necessity for efficiency, unselfishness and poise; to un- derstand what constitutes a successful home-maker and to have a right sense of values. Miss Faulkner prefers to receive pupils at as early an age as possible, and expects each one to fit herself for a definite career, preferably that of home- maker.
