4 WOMAN CARPENTER.
Her Work in a Brooklyn Vacation
.SchOOI-GOod Exercise for Girls.

Brooklyn has a professional woman carpenter In
the person Of Miss Wilburn. the teacher of bench
work in Vacation School No. 43, in that borough.
Miss Wlburn has conducted her class Of thirty
five boys whose ages vary from eleven to four
teen years, through all the intricacies OF bench
work with the skill of-weI, a man. The progress
made BY the boys since the vacation school opened
has been unusual as the number of completed ar
ticles shows. These range from brackets TO parlor
and kitchen tables The work shows marked in
dividualitv.
Miss W!lburn was graduated nine years ago
from Mechanics Institute. Rochester. Side by
side with q large family of brothers. she delighted
to apply practically the ideas developed by en-
thusiastic study. Carpentry the branch of
manual training especially dear TO her.
Although her family and friends opposed the
selection Of carpentry a calling for woman,
the girl came to Brooklyn and, after taking the
full course in carpentry at Pratt Institute, re-
solved 10 enter a carpenter shop and do regular
work Just like man"
After much disappointment place was found
in the Eastern District where she planed sawed
and hammered, on the same footing as the men
employed who at first objected and then endured.
This practice Miss Wilburn considers most Valu-
