Frisbie Hall, the Home for young women of the Normal, is a modern, up-to-date, three-story building. It has hot and cold baths, steam heating, electric lights, elegant parlors, and all modern improvements. It is being repaired, renovated, replastered, papered, floors painted, new shades placed upon the windows, new rugs on the floors, the entire building, from top to bottom, fumigated under the direction of the Secretary of State Board of Health. Quarterly inspection of hygenic conditions of rooms and building by the same eminent authority has been arranged. So everything which contributes to the convenience, pleasure, health, comfort of the girls has been done, making the building scientifically safe and sanitary.

Prof. and Mrs. R.P. Green, who will have charge of superintending the Hall, will give time and attention to securing comfortable and pleasant conditions to those who are placed under their care and protection. Prof. and Mrs. Green are cultured and refined people, of mature thought, and will add an atmosphere of dignified refinement to the environment of the student's life. They will chaperone parties of girls on their outings and goings to and from church and Sunday school. They will superintend and regulate the social features of student life at the Hall and will assiduously endeavor to make all features of this complex Home pleasant and agreeable socially, and helpful educationally. No parents, who have daughters, need fear or hesitate to place them for care and guidance and protection into the hands of these superintendents, for the utmost diligence will be exerted to make the Hall home-like and render this pleasant and inviting hall an ideal home for young women away from their parents.

Under this splendid and careful superintendency, and in this refined and moral atmosphere, for all these luxurious accomodations -- free baths, electric lights, steam heating, beautiful parlors, comfortable rooms and janitor service -- a very low rate is charged. The rooms are graded according to location and size, and range in price from three dollars to four dollars and fifty cents to each occupant per month. Meals in the school's boarding home are one dollar and fifty cents per week, and in private families one dollar and seventy-five cents and two dollars, and two dollars and twenty-five cents per week. So good board and room, excellently furnished, can be obtained for from nine dollars to eleven and twelve dollars per month, with accomodations unsurpassed.
