The girls are taught the best methods of housework, cooking, laundry work and all such practical subjects. Those who show aptitude for music receive training in this branch, and voices that show promise are cultivated. One of the most important phases of the work of the convent is the care of wayward and refractory girls who are beyond the control of their parents or guardians. Many of the wards of the convent are brought there by their parents for their refusal to attend the public schools. Others are committed to the school by the juvenile court, and still others come of their own free will to derive the benefits of the industrial education.” Image note: The text “Home of Good Shepard [sic]” and the number 167 are written on the negative and are visible in the lower right corner of the image.
