SERVANTS AND HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY
The servant question is becoming one of
the most pulling practical problems OF

choose to teach her own little children at
home, only organized and adapted to the
poor little creatures who have no homes or

walks of life have been formed, and are

ISOLATION was formed in 1880. At the end
OF the year a printed report was issued
from which 1t appears that nine hundred
and ninety children were instructed IN
New York alone. Glasses had already
been established in Philadelphia, Boston,
Brooklyn, ST. Louis and Cincinnati as well
as in the colored institute at Hampton, Va.
England is waking up to the Importance of
the monument, and the idea has even been
carried to Bombay by a converted Brahmin
who hopes to help his country women by
introducing among them modified system
adopted to their needs.
