Tho Training OF Servants.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star.
Has the servants training school been aban-
doned? trust not; for the incompetence of
servants is one of the prominent evils of the
times. Permit me to suggest that girls be
trained for general housework," for which the
majority should be prepared, as comparatively
few families employ more than one servant.
Half a century ago there were thousands of
(private) training schools throughout the land,
but their pupils have grown too old for service,
and none or few have been educated to take
their places. NJ. VIC.
