1000 American students now pursuing

I heard of numerous cases where
destitution alone forced girls from the
paths Of virtue, and destitution Is only
one of many reasons. Girls from the
country, and often town girls and boys,
paint something which their admiring
friends and relatives consider a work
of genius. The next thing Is to go to
Paris. They go, little equipped for the
fierce fight for supremacy which Is al
ways waging there.

in Paris and the number of those who
fail. / could not get any absolutely ac-

There are several young women engaged
in this trade in San Francisco, but the
pioneers in the field are the Misses Anna
and Agnes rI4nt.
About five years ago Miss Agnes, fresh
from the classroom, discovered her voca-
ton. Her bedroom was so arranged that
her table, no matter where she put it..
made the room appear small. She went to
the furniture stores looking in vain for
an oak table about four feet long and two
feet wide with an upper and lower shelf
At last. when a carpenter suggested that
he could make one the thought struck
her. why can't make one myself?"
Full of her new idea she invested in a

The workroom is an interesting place,
where the two sisters work early and late.
Besides selling carved furniture, they also
draw designs. which have ready market.

7 FIRMLY believe that in sounding
the warning note concerning stu
dent life in Paris 1 am doing a
kindness to thousands of Ameri-
can parents who are ignorant of
the real conditions that surround
their children who are studying abroad.
have been asked by many people If
my objection to the art study in Paris
is founded on the constant use of nude
models for classes including both sexes.
I have replied that I make no COM
plaint on this ground. The study Of
the nude is necessary in the pursuit Of
art. We have art schools in our own
country attended by both sexes
Ny objection to Paris life for stu
dents is the total lack of decorous re-
straint which should exist between
young people. l object to the break
ing down of barriers to which the peo-
pie of the United States are accus-
toned. There is no Sunday-all days
are alike for enjoyment and dissipa-
ton. There are no restrictions, and
morals are entirely a matter of private
concern about which no one is sup
posed to inquire.
This universal license cannot but be
productive of sad results. 1 saw many
sad sights and heard pathetic stories
during my frequent visits to the Latin
Quarter. 1 know whereof 1 speak when
I say it is better for our young people
never to learn art or music than to
learn them under such terrible odds.
Some years ago when Mrs. White
law Reid was in Paris as the wife Of
the American Ambassador she became
so interested in this great evil that
she esta ablished home for American
students. This home is situated in the
heart of the cuarter, and it has been
a haven for many deserving girl
