The Athletic Festival of the Makassed College for Girls

* The athletic festival held by the Makassed College for Girls was one of the glories of cultural activity and a clear proof of the care this institute devotes to developing the athletic spirit in the souls of the young and raising their social level. Every year we see a new step and a bold leap in the field of this art, which is rightly counted among the loftiest openings of freedom and the highest ascents toward perfection.

This year the said college brought over a lady specialist from Sweden to train the pupils in Swedish gymnastics and in beautiful rhythmic dance, and this yielded successful, palpable results, witnessed by great crowds of ladies and young ladies, who admired them beyond measure and went off voicing their praise of the ladies who put on this splendid festival.
