4. The idea of not merely exposing female workers to art but encouraging them to produce it was not new in the United States, where in the early 1840s the "Lowell mill girls" had published their own stories, poems, and essays in the corporately owned Lowell Offering. For more on the Offering, see Jean Marie Lutes, "Cultivating Domesticity: Labor Reform and the Literary Culture of the Lowell Mill Girls," Works and Days 11 (1993), 7-26. I am grateful to Brian Kennedy for bringing this essay to my attention.

The 1903 catalog announced the division of the Conservatoire into three sections - two located on the Right Bank and one on the Left - due to overwhelming response and for the sake of geographical expediency. By 1904 a tableau des cours, found in FC 369, showed that demand justified six sections.
