MEND|YG BROKENHOMES
School Established in New
York Where the unedu.
Gated Wife Can be
Taught Grammer.

A school for mending broken
homes. That is the newest lnstitu-
ton in Manhattan. It's curriculum
is based entirely on the aim OF cdu-
eating the ignorant wife, who is des-
pissed by her husband because she is
unlettered and who cannot be real
companion to him because of her
limited knowledge; of aiding the
mother to keep pace with the grow
ing mind of her daughters.
From little things, such as the u.s.
Ing of "ain't," done" for did, and
seen for saw" have arisen quarrels
between critical husband and his
sensitive wife that have caused a
breach in the family circle. The
husband. who in the days of court
Ship failed to perceive the gramat-
ical errors and the lack of knowledge
of his sweetheart in the admiration
of her beauty, has come to rldicue
her. The daughter or the son. fresh
from the grammatical instruction in
school, is quick to notice the errors
and thinks it smart to make fun OF
the mother.
From such trivial causes have
arisen quarrels which have made the
wife wretchcd. To send happiness
into such homes this new school has
been started by an alumna of Column
bia University. To 1t 70 women
prominent in society. wives of brok
crs and professors who wish to learn
the rudiments of grammar, English
history and the best things in art
and music.
The majority of them arc ashamed
OF the fact that they are going to
school. and do their utmost TO con.
ceal 1t not only from their friends,
but their husbands and children. They
wrap their textbooks up in paper to
prevent any acquaintance whom they
meet In going to or from the school
room from seeing the books. Several
of them give false names to the
principal OF the school lest their real
identity become Known. So fearful
arc they when they chance to meet
the principal in theatre or at a
social function they do not recognize
her, so that the principal now only
speaks to those pupils who first bow
to her.
Every morning or afternoon those
women can be seen entering and
leaving the school. They are fash
ionably dressed, wearing furs and
hats Of the latest Paris styles. Sew
eral of them drive to Central Park
| In their carriages. and then. dismis.
sing their coachmen, tell them that
they Will walk in the park Instead
however, they go to the barren little
school room presided over ly prim.
/ looking young woman. B!ackboards
chalk, maps and outlines similar to
those found in the grammar schools
form the equipment Of the room.
ct is almost tragic. the stories
some of my pupils tell me-" said the
principal the other day. MANY OF
them come to me with their hearts In
their hands. They tell me how their
husbands are harsh with them be
cause they use bad grammar or do moi
know anything about art and things
like that. They are eager to learn
They ask me what they shall read
