Cincinnati Technical school.
The Cincinnati technical school has
taken n step in advance of n OF the
other manual training schools of the
country. 1t permits girls to take all its
courses, even to engineering and carpeu-
ter work, if they desire. AT the COM
mencement this summe two young la
dies received diplomas who were more
thoroughly accomplished in some ways
than any girl graduates of the season, it
is safe to say. These young women
were Lucy Mary Riggs and Julia Bedin-
ger. They We're both of them bright,
spirited Kentucky maidens. They not
only learned architectural and mechan-
ical drawing, but became expert in the

machinery. Now ] hope they will go
on and make use of their knowledge in
some way, either as teachers, manual
workers OIL craftsmen.
