one on the street, and then lodged from
side to side for half a minute, vainly en-

Such was the recent experience of a

In 1920 an attempt was made in Bos-
ton to encourage the art Of spinning
and to establish schools where the
process could be taught to the poor. It
was recommended that twenty spin
ming wheels should be provided by the
town for the use of children sent from
the almshouse and premium allowed

and woven.
In 1747 a society was organized for
the encouragement Of the industry, and
the fourth anniversary was publicly
celebrated.
