well-to-do get to the schooling age the
fun of childhood is done for them. Packed
off TO a convent or shut up in her home
with a governess, the Partisan miss leads
a dull, disheartening life. The restraints
and surveillance would be more than any
healthy American girl could bear. She
sees less and less of her brothers, and
more and more of older women, who drill
precepts into her buoyant young mind in
an effort to render her unnaturally seri-
Gus and preternaturally ignorant of the
world around her. A peculiarly soured
and stupid old maid is usually selected
as her goyerness, who escorts her to and
from the lectures given by various pro-
fessors, guides her in her smattering stu
dies and ships any frivolous tendencies
in the bud. A well-cared-for French girl
never goes even to church alone, or with
a group of companions her own age. She
walks with down dropped lids like nun,
and because of tedious years of young
girlhood she is submissive and ready to
marry any man her parents select and
hail with delight the yoke of marriage,
since for her it means the open door to
liberty.
Now, is 1t not perfectly impossible to
hope that this girl, when she marrtes and
stretches her wings, is going to calmly
shut herself up in the nursery with babies
and devote herself to the society of chill
Gren? Not She indeed. When her baby
comes she amuses herself by buying for
il and its wet nurse the most SNOWY
clothes and sends them both out to the
street. or, if she does not approve of the
street, she will not hesitate to put her
infant out to nurse in the suburbs or
Paris with a worthy woman, and so to
visit it at stated intervals. Thus, you
see, she is quite foot loose and free 10 de-
vote all her energies to soc ETY., and while
socially l don't doubt that Paris is the
most brilliant city in the world, it has
won its fame for wit and elegance at a
terrible price.
Little Grass Orphans.
This is not only the method of the rich
and upper class or a habit in the fashion
able set. A little lower down i'll the So
cal scale among the hourishing dress
makers, milliners, small dealers in linger-
lie, Jewels ETC., the hard working femi-
nine shop proprietor finds herself men
tally and physically at greater ease for
her work if she gives her baby out to
nurse and so-called French thrift has
been a distinct injury to the growth of
the nation. The environs of Paris are
populated with more or less capable wo-
men, who support themselves nicely by
mothering these little grass orphans They
are a pitiful colony these farmed out ba-
bies. and the middle class woman is so
entirely wrapped up in business and so
eager to save that she considers herself
burdened with a big family if she pos
sesses more than two.

Some interesting matters 9elative to

touched on in the course Of Il discus
sion mt the meeting of the Board of
Education last evening over giving in
structions in manual training to the 9Th
and 9th grammar grade boys iii the
New High School.
The discussion was started by Mr..
I'raim bringing up substitute amend
mcnt to the rules, which had been laid
over from the previous meeting. 1t was
| TO the effect that us soon us room was
provided in the New High School, the
boys of the 9TH and 9Th grammar grades
be installed there and be given instruc-
tions in manual training and mechanical
drafting.
Mr.. Morrow wanted action postponed
on the matter and thought that it ought
to be referred to the superintendent and
principal of the High School.
Mr.. Ross asked if the girls of the 5th
and 9th grammar grades were also to be
sent to the High School. Mr.. Turner
thought the whole matter little pre-
vious. Mr.. Postles wanted to know if
there would be enough machinery in the
new building to accommodate all the
lpupils in manual training.
MIR. Ross thought there would be room
for all the 5th and 9th grammar grade
lpupils as the New High School would be
twice as large as necessary.
President Shortlidge said he thought
the matter too premature at this time.
Superintendent Twitmyer said IFS
Ipupils now studied manual training in
the High School and there were III boys

week of manual training like the IIigl
School pupils. their term would have t.

Mr.. Fraim and Mr.. O'Donnell strongly
opposed any postpOncment. Mr.. Frain

was laid over.
