NECESSARY PART OF A
YOUNG LADY'S EDU-
CATION.

tai IN more 1uily aFouslnS pubilc sen
timent upon one vital question than
has ever before been aroused, namely
the one of q practicable education for
women.
The originators of this school claim
that parents owe a duty to their
daughters to,
|. Educate them in such q man
ner that they can earn q good living
by their own efforts, if such a thing
should at any time become necessary.
2. 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, 70 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 inde.
pendent and earn her own living as o
matter of right and not compromise
her dignity thereby.
6. That as a 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.
8. That no part that is required
to make 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 systematic and scien-
ti6c, 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 on unlimited knowledge
CT 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.
IL. That q lazy woman is as USE
less to society as lazy man and
probably more dangerous to the CON-
munity.
That here gre twelve strong state
ments pointedIy made, none will deny
and that they are true, cannot be
questioned In fact it, these state
ments were reduced to Rules, and then
fully practiced, there would he a rev.
olution for good, such as tho world
has ever witnessed, aud that this
revolution is actually taking place
and to those who are reading the
press of tie country and studying the
signs of the times there is no doubt
upon this subject. But some will ask
what has the Nationsl Garment Cut
ter to do with this subject? By q
little investigation it will be shown
that the Garment Cutter and cutting
schools have great deal to do with
it.
A little careful Investigation of the
claims set forth would be profitable,
and the first is doubly So
Think of the fond father with O
slender income rearing daughters in
all the care psssible within his means
but in case of accident or death, what
ere those daughters going to do to
earn support Are they going to
be thrown out upon the world 80 do
as they can. or are they going to live
upon the work of another without
rendering value received What q
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 e.?
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 a house and
manage it properly so as to be an
honor to herself aud a 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
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
woman to earn her own bread than it
is to stay under the roof of another
and share the fruits of his toll with
out rendering due recompense.
Not only in your household will
this nowledge 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
petent workers.
GOOD WAGES FOR GOOD FITTING.
In large cities there is q constant
demand for good filters at salaries
ranging from $15 to $40 week.
There are hundreds of young wo-
men throughout the country who
have the taste and talent to fill such
positions; all they want is an Oppor-
tunity, and a knowledge of the laws
that govern the art Of dressmaking.
A want of this knowledge precludes
the possibility of reaching high po'
sition as cutter and filter.
We will help you in this matter,
we teach you in detail the art of cut
ting.
