Miss Nettie Springer, one of the
Little Rock US, has returned from a
delightful visit at Russellville, where
she was entertained by another Y,
Miss Carrie Smade.
Members of Little Rock Union will
be glad to learn that our sister, Mrs.
Feigel will spend the winter in this
city with her sister, Mrs. E. F. Bah
cock, corner Seventh and Broadway.
1t is hoped that arrangements will
soon be made, by which Mrs. S. X.
Hart, State corresponding secretary
of the W. G. T. T., can be spared
from office work and accept some of
the aattering calls she is receiving to
lecture in various parts of the State.
Mrs. D. M. Springer, one of our
white ribboners, has gone to visit her
parents in Wellsville, Ohio. She wore
her white ribbon that all may know
to which noble army she belongs.
While the members of our local Union
will miss our friend and co-worker,
we are glad to have her enjoy this
outing and hope she will return TO us
with renewed zeal for the work.
The subject under discussion at
the mothers meeting last Thursday,
at W. G. T. U. headquarters, was
"Cheerfulness." The ladies decided
with one accord that cheerfulness was
garment that all Christians, and
especially Christian mothers, should
wear. We wish every mother in our
city could be induced to attend these
mothers meetings. They are held
the third Thursday of each month at
3 pm.

Reasons for the Establishment
of a Female Industrial
School.

EVANSTON, ILL.,, Sept. 20, 1889.
EDITOR OF WoMAN's CHRONICLE:
This plea comes to me directly from
Japan-was printed there. Can we
not help? FRANCES E. WILLARD.
This school is for the promotion of
an industrial education among women.
There are many schools for men and
a few for women. If literature or
philosophy be the object both sexes
can be instructed, and if there is no
knowledge of these things the manu-
facturer cannot become skillful; but
intellectual knowledge alone will not
sustain the body. The wealthy can
purchase what they need and wish,
but with the poor such is not the case.
The poor must use their bodily
strength to earn support. Women
owning property are few; and al
though a woman may be educated, if
she has no knowledge of manual in
dustry she will always be poor. In
proportion as women remain poor and
Ignorant they will have no influence,
and will always be despised. Those
who can do nothing are tempted not
TO marry but engage in dlsreputable
employment. Even if they marry
they become the slave of their hus-
bands, and are unable to escape their
tyranny. Such are greatly to be
pitled.
Married women are with their hus-
bands one body. If the wife is
despised, the husband will be; if
happy and useful, the husband will
be happy. A wife should be a help
meet for her husband; what the hus-
band desires and works for the wife
should help him to accomplish. If
she has only the feelings of a slave
she will not elevate her husband, but
think only of cooking his food. How
can such a household be truly happy?
Mothers of children are their edu-
Gators; if the mothers are ignorant
and helpless, the children will remain
Ignorant, and society will be degraded.
Therefore to train those who will be
mothers to lives of usefulness is the
object of this Industrial School.
There are many other good reasons
which we are unable to mention. Be-
ing poor, we are unable to furnish
such school as we wish, but we can
wait no longer, and being without
