Trinity Church School for Dolls

       This historic doll school was founded that there might be a place, easily accessible to the dolls of any child's collection where they will have a thorough education and a happy home life. Here dolls are surrounded by refining influences and they can be physically, intellectually and spiritually trained if their child owners so choose.
       As the cost of living in Dollville is less than in most places, it has been possible to make the fees more moderate than those of real child schools, and there are, comparatively speaking, no outside expenses.
       Miss Carroll, the Lady Principal Doll, has had much experience in work of this kind, having been for many years Senior Mistress at Trinity Church School for Dolls.
       The place chosen could not be more appropriate, a handsome and well-built building, situated upon the prettiest street in Dollville, and surrounded by beautiful grounds two and a half acres in extent.
       To the original building a large three-story addition has been made, which contains the chapel, art-room, dining-room, room for domestic science, infirmary, and sleeping apartments.
       The rooms are large and well-ventilated, the class-rooms bright and airy. 
      The recreation grounds are extensive: tennis, basket-ball, croquet, swings, all have their place, and out-door exercise is encouraged as much as possible.
       There is a picturesque artificial lake in the grounds, shown in the picture below, left.
       There is also a fine orchard, a vegetable garden, and a poultry yard, thus combining the advantages of country with city life.
       The work done during the school year is always very satisfactory, and a decided improvement in our doll pupils is exceptionally noticeable. Universal satisfaction has often been expressed by their young owners.
       It is our wish to create in dolls a love for their work, and to arouse an interest in learning which will not pass away with their school days.
       A series of recitals will been given by the dolls of both musical and dance talent. In the past and they have been enjoyable as well as most helpful in overcoming the nervousness and self-consciousness of our doll students.
       An excellent course of University Extension Lectures was held at our school during the winter break, and more recently a most interesting and instructive course upon Practical Home Nursing. Courses similar to these will be offered again during the next semester.
