EMILY MULKIN BISHOP.
Mrs. Bishop was born in Forestville, New York, November 3, 1858. After leaving school she taught, as many others have done, before starting on her professional career. In 1884 she became the wife of Coleman A. Bishop, editor of Judge, and later they went to Black Hills, South Dakota, to live. She was made superintendent of the public schools at Rapid City, South Dakota, the first woman to be so honored in that territory. She had made the study of Delsarte a specialty and became a lecturer on that subject and was invited to establish a Delsarte department in the Chautauqua assemblage of New York, which she has made a great success. Out of this has grown the demand for her to lecture on this subject before the public. She has published a book, "American Delsarte Culture"—and is to-day recognized as one of the noted editors and authors on this subject in the United States.
