There, little girl, don't cry;
They've taken your train. I know,
Your decollete, sure, and your flowers,
too,
Are things Of long ago.
But ratless, hatless, trainless. and
flowerless-that is the way the boy
graduate likes you best Of ALL It
doesn't matter If poor father sang a
halleujah when he heard the frIlls
might be cut Off your graduating gown.
Il doesn't matter that the Board OF
Education smiles placidly at the men,
tai vision of your simplicity. sweetness,
and occurrences, as you trip across the
stage at commencement time, minus
your Two yards of train, your American
Beauties, and your Sunday hair. None
OF all this matters in the least to your
Needless, girlish, frivolous heart. What
really counts is, the boy graduate, when
he sees you looking like a girl of his
Erandmother's day in your simple white
muslin, or when he jingles the coins he
would otherwise have spent on your
graduation flowers, will think you are
adorablel
How did find il out? BY merely ask
ing to interview the president of the
graduating class at Central High
School.

Does she rouge, and hobble, and
wear puffs? And will she confidently
hurl anathemas upon the Indifferent
heads of Mrs. Mussey, Mrs. Hoeke,
Superintendent Stuart, and Captain
Oyster for what they are going TO do
to her, when a meeting to regulate
her graduating gown is held this after
noon at Franklin SCHOOL," I wondered
in apprehension, while waiting for her
to appear this morning at the Central
High. And suddenly a tall athletic
looking young fellow interrupted these
idle speculations.

nounced. Anything can do for you
"Why-why-if you would be good
enough to tell me II you think you
ought to carry American Beauties, and
spend $50 on your-that is, IL they-if
the girls should. You know the Board
OF Education is going TO forbid their
doing it."
If William Shock Boetler. president
Of the graduating class at Central
High had been asked to solve a geo
metriCaI problem in Greek, he couldn't
have looked more mystitied.
why, YOU see, it's like this he
answered. after some deliberation.

fifty dollar dress on a girl from a

No man under the sun can. Lace ap-

can tell you this. The simpler a girl

nearly five years / a. trying 81 hard TO be q capaDie WIe and motHef,
but the way has been. oh, SO dincult and many bitter tears have been
shed.
"The first washings I did made my soft, tender haHas-unused to
hard work-bleed Today / have washed and hung out clothes, cooked
meals, cared for the children and made grape jelly. al In winter one a-
preciates those things. / speak of what ] have one merely to show that
nay former training does O stand m n good stead"
The girl that wrote that letter is a type. Thousands like her are
marrying every year, and, al In her ease. many bitter tears are shed be-
fore they have mastered the duties of their positions.
To be sure, they do master them in the long run, but as another
girl who had never been taught housework, because her, mother had a
maid and thought there was no need of it, expressed the situation,
"Housework doesn't come natural as it would If I had done 1t As a child.
I do everything the longest, hardest way"
Now, of course, you realize I am not speaking against a college
education. q training in music and the arts for girls. I am the last one
in the world to do that. / think it is all nonsense to say that a college
education units a girl to be a good wife and mother. think any edu-a
cation makes a woman a better mother and wife in that 1t makes her =
happier, broader woman. Z
should go hand in hand with the specific Industrial training for her life
as a wife.
If you want your son t. be a civil engineer you give him all the
genera culture you "a afford, and in addition to that, a specific Indus
trial training for civil engineering
Now, O want-and hence expect-your daughter to be a wife,
don't you? You would be disappointed if you could look into the future
and see that she would never find her mate. Why. then, shouldn't You
give her all the general culture you ca AFFORD, u IT n same ~
specific Industrial training for her probable vocation?
The man-whothinks has two daughters. One went to a musical
school and another to college. After she had finished her outside educa-s
ton. each girl spent n year in running the house and learning every
branch of housekeeping and homemakng. Think what splendid wives
they will make.
OF course. it isn't always possible to carry out q danghtsrs educa-
ton IN such a ideal scale. But there is no doubt but that in every
household each daughter could be taught the simpler things about the
science a she grows up. and / fancy there are few homes where II ~
kind of learning, after she finished whatever schooling her father al
afford her-be it grammar, high school Oh college.
Wouldn't it be interesting If a faw could be passed requiring a year
