TRAINS GIRLS FOR WIVES
Cleveland Starts a New Depart.
ment in High Schools.
Scientific Cooking and the Care OF
Babies Observation-Disclosures Will
Be Women of Experience.

Cleveland, CAio. - Girl pupils in
the Cleveland high schools are to be
taught scientifically how to become
good wives. Superintendent Elson
and his assistant, Hicks, outlined
their plans for a technical branch of
the high school which would be de-
voted exclusively to the teaching of
girls in the arts of housewifery,
whether they int.ld to take up that
profession later in life. The instruc-
tors will be women who have sue
ceeded as wives, and will be much
more practical than theoretical. The
girls will be taught to sweep, to sew,
how best 20 purchase household sup
plies and how to care for babies.
They will have real babies to dress
and care for under the watchful SUI
pervision, of course, of the teachers
who have gone through all these ex-
periences.
Superintendent Elson said:
This is not a fad or an expert
ment. We are going'a at this earnestly
and scientifically. The average girl
who marries to-day is woefully ignor-
ant of the duties expected of her, and
therein lies a lot of domestic misery,
and to this fact can be traced the
wedge which has broken up many
homes which should have been per-
manent and happy. We are going
to fit our girls to be wives, not serv-
ants. The first year they will take
up the arts-applied arts and ele-
mentary sewing. The second year
elementary chemistry in it's relation
to household duties and a more adj
vanced ours in sewing and the arts
that ability to make home beauti-
full and attractive.
THE third and fourth years Will
be devoted to scientific cooking. With
good cooking our divorce courts
lose much business. We shall teach
the girls how to care for the invalid,
and especially how to care for babies;
how to deal with the butcher and gro
Ger and everything a wife should
know. Even If our girls marry rich
men land have servants to do their
work this training will put them in a
position to know whether their serv-
ants are doing the work properly.
One important feature of the training
will be the teaching of the girls to
make their OWE clothing and millin-
cry"

singular Austrian Law.

A few days ago the murderer Of
MI. Reid, the Paisley man who mys-
teriously disappeared from Heidel-
berg last July, having been arrested
in Austria, was tried at Feidkirch
and was convicted and sentenced to
twenty years imprisonment. The
case illustrates the singularity of
the Austrian criminal law. General
ly speaking, a premeditated murder
is punishable by death in Austria,
but in cases where between the time
of the murder and the arrest the
prisoner has been punished for some
other crime a sentence of capital pun
ishment cannot be passed upon him.
In this case the murderer had served

theft about January of this year., and
to this circumstance alone he is in
