PART OF
YOUNG LADY'S EDU-
CATION.

school in Butler have been instrument
tai in more fully arousing public SEN
timent upon one vital question than
has ever before been aroused, namely
the one of practicable education for
women.
The originators of this school claim
that parents owe a duty to their
daughters to,
L. Educate them in such man
ner that they can earn good living
by their own efforts, if such thing
should at any time become necessary.
9. To be able to look after their
own clothing and see that it is made
correctly and in becoming style.
3. To be able when the proper
time comes, 10 honorably and intelli-
gently look after the affairs of her
own house.
4. To be able to impart useful
knowledge to her daughters and to
teach them the dangers and follies of
idleness
5. That woman may be indie.
pendent and earn her own living as a
matter of right and not compromise
her dignity thereby.
6. That as matter of honor she
should earn her own living and not
take it from another without render
ing due value therefor.
7. That educating the eye and
hand is useful and important part
of an education.
s. That no part that is required
to make a well rounded, full and COM
plete education should be neglected,
but if through necessity some part
must be neglected, that it should not
be the practical part but the lighter
and more theoretical.
8. That a systematic and scien-
tiGc, practical education is actually
necessary if the country at large is to
make the advancements that the civ
ilization of the age demands, and in
no place is this education more great
ly needed than in the household.
10. That the requirements of the
age demand an unlimited knowledge
of how to dress with economy and
comply with the requirements of the
of the prevailing styles.
IL. That employment is an essen
tial to health and happiness.
r. That lazy woman is as USE
less to society as lazy man and
probably more dangerous to the COM
munity.
That here are twelve strong state
ments poiatcdiy made, none will deny
and that they are tue, cannot be
questioned In fact II, these state
ments were reduced to rules, and then
fully ptacliced, there would be a rev.
olution for good, such as the world
has ever Witnessed, aud that this
revolution is actually taking place
and to those who arc reading the
press of the country aud studying the
signs of the times there is no doubt
upon this subject. Blu. some will ask
what has the National Gurment Cut.
ter to do with this subject? BY
little investigation it will be shown
that the Garment Gutter and cutting
schools have a great deal to do with
it.
A little careful investigation of the
claims set forth would be profitable,
and the fist is doubly so.
Think of the fond father with
slender income rearing daughters in
all the care psssible within his means
but in case of accident or death, what
are those daughters going to do to
earn support? Are they going to
be thrown out upon the world to do
as they can. or are they going to live
upon the work of another without
rendering value received What
relief it would be to that father to
know that the daughter was prepared
to earn an honorable, honest living
with her own hands. Thousands of
girls are left destitute and homeless
every year by death and misfortune
and what are they to do :?
Some will find work that they
without skill can perform in competi-
ton with others Of like skill, where
the competition makes it nearly i'm
possible to live. Others will soon die
of priyations and hardships while if
others sink into degradation and into
sin, it is not to be wondered at Pa
rents fulfill your duties to your daugh
ters and teach them useful knowledge
whereby they, if necessity demands
it, can earn an honest living and
maintain their womanly dignity
All ladies should be SO trained that
they can take charge of q house and
manage it properly 80 as to be an
honor to herself and blessing to her
husband and raise her daughters like
the daughters spoken of by the wise
man, when he said, 'she looketh well
to the ways of her household, and
eateth not the bread of idleness, she
considereth field and buyeth it;with
the fruit of her hand she planteth a
vineyard She maketh herself cover
ings of tapestry; her clothing is silk
and purple"
BY the foregoing we are to con
clude that it is more honorable for a
, woman to earn her own bread than il
, is to stay under the roof of another
! and share the fruits of his toll with
out rendering due recompense.
r Not only in your household will
this knowledge be of value to you
, but it will fit you. should you de
sire" to fill one of the many lucrative
positions constantly waiting for com
! netent workers.
GOOD WAGES FOR GOOD FITTING.
+, In large cities there is a constant
demand for good filters at salaries
!. ranging from SIS to $40 week.
There are hundreds of young wo
men throughout the country whC
have the taste and talent to fill sucf
positions; all they want is an oppor
o tunity, and a knowledge of the laws
= that govern the art of dressmaking.
A want of this knowledge preclude'
the possibility of reaching high po
sition as cutter and filter.
