NEW SCHOOLS FOR THE GIRLS
(Chicago Evening Post. }


All those Old Fogies who have in
sisted these many years that "educa-
ton ought to train girls to be good
wives and mothers" may now relax a
little their condemnation Of the pass
ing show. We are catching up with
their ideas. Here in Chicago we have
after many years of discussion, open
ed in the public school system a
technical high school for girls"
which offers free training in all the
branches that concern the home as
well as sound special training for
limited number of vocalists, those tenn
porary occupations that the American
girl consents to go into until she gets
married.
This school, the plans for which
have already attracted much favorable
comment, is located in the old South
Division High school building at 26th
street and Wabash avenue, which has
been radically remodeled and renovat-
ed for its new use. 1t will be known
as the Lucy L. Flower Technical
High School for Girls, and the diploma
for it's four years course will be just
as handsome. and perhaps even more
significant, than that which goes to
the girls in the other high schools.
All the girls will be encouraged to
take the full four-year course, but for
those who cannot, a two-year course is
offered. Those who can spare the time
merely to be trained for some specific
vocation may be given what they need
in courses of five, 10 and Is months.
But the new high school is not a
trade school. There are score or
more trade schools in the city and the
high school is as much broader than
those as the college is broader than
the academy. Furthermore, the Lucy
L. Flower is quite as much concerned
in training girls for the home as in
providing them with the equipment for
| some, immediate vocation.
In fact, the emphasis is on the for
mer rather than the latter, which is
one of several features which differ
entiate the Chicago experiment from
it's more famous New York prototype,
the Manhattan Trade School for Girls.
| In the New York school most of the
girls are studying stenography and
ltypewriting. Chicago girls can get
that in the ordinary high school. but
those who go to our Technical High
school will be equipped primarily, for
the intelligent care Of home, and,
secondarily. for one or another of the
crafts which in Chicago call for girls.
The household arts and sciences
will include, of course, cooking; the
study of family budgets; the care of
a household, including laundry opera
tions; household chemistry and de-
sign, as applied to household decora-
tions, dressmaking and millinery.
While 1t Is too early to say just what
culture" courses will be provided. it
seems probable that the girls will be
given work In English, American his
tory. applied ciyics. physical culture.
"applied mathematics" and music.
After two years of general work the
girls may enter upon the vocational
courses. Here is where the school
faces it's biggest problem. 1t is not
a trade school," interested primarily
| in feeding girls into a trade. 1t is
interested first and last in the girls.
and the aim of the board of education
is to train the girls for those vocations

RIDS THE SYSTEM
OF SCROFULA

Scrofula is a disease usually mani
tested in childhood, though some who
are victims of the trouble reach man
hood or womanhood before there is
any manifestation of the trouble; but
no matter at what age it shows, the
disease germs are in the blood, and
until they are removed there cannot
be a healthy condition OF the body
The ordinary symptoms OF Scrofula
are swollen glands about the neck,
scalp diseases, skin affections, poor
physical development, etc. S. S. S.
has cured thousands OF cases OF Scrof-
ula 1t is the greatest of all blood
purifiers and by going down into the
circulation and removing the germs
and poisons, land enriching the blood

puscles, s. S. S. makes a permanent
cure s. S. S. is a purely vegetable
remedy, made entirely of health Civ
ing roots, herbs and barks, and is

lions, and the health it will bring to

Support of Children.

The next bill called up was the measure
to provide for the support and main
tenance Of illegitimate children in the
District of Columbia. In explaining the
bill, Mr.. Johnson said:
1T Is believed that the District of CO.
lumbia is the only place in the Union
where the father is not liable for the
support Of his illegitimate child. 1t Is
estimated that more than 30 per cent Of
the dependent children cared for at the
expenses Of the public appropriation for
the District OF Columbia are illegitimate.
The community should be relieved of
this burden at the earliest date-fathers
should be made to meet the charges OF
support and education. The bill embodies
the principal features Of statute obtaining
in most of the states and it is believed
that II will meet the needs OF this dis
trict
I'm his annual report for 1909, and
again for 1910 the Attorney General of
the United States recommends that the
Juvenile Court be given jurisdiction to
hear and determine all cases arising
under the act of 1905. making it mis-
demeanor in the District to abandon or
willfuliy neglect to provide for the sup
port and maintenance by any person of
his wife or his or her minor children in
destitute and neceSsitouS circumstances,
and remarked that the machinery provid-
ed for in the acts creating the Juvenile
Court is peculiarly adapted for handling
| this class of cases.
After being amended in some minor
particulars the bill was passed.
No more District bills were called up
| by Mr. johnson, although four remained
| on the calendar.
| One Of these not brought up is the
| loan shark" bill. another proposes to
place crossing policemen upon the same
| footing with the regular force as - COM

Insurance Bill Defeated.

Inc nrSt DEBATE OF the day to amount
TO anything occurred when Chairman
Johnson called up House bill 1878,
amending the code of law of the District
regarding insurance.
Representative Mann of Illinois, the
minority floor leader. objected to a pro-
vision in the measure which, he said,
would make it necessary for the presi-
dent and secretary OF an outside company
doing business in the District to come to
THIS jurisdiction once year and MAJ
oath personally before the superintendent
Of insurance. The phase to which MIR.
Mann took exception reads: And the
president and secretary of such company
or association shall make a declaration
under oath to said superintendent, who Is
hereby empowered TO administer oaths. >"
Perhaps the chairman of the District
committee does not fully appreciate
what this bill does" Mr.. Mann sug-
gested 1t is proposed by the superin-
tendent of insurance that if d company
organized in London, or any other far
the District of Columbia, the president
and secretary of that company must
come to the District of Columbia and
make a sworn statement once II year.
That surely cannot be seriously pro-
posed. To do that would be to adopt a
restrictive policy that l do not believe
can be put through here Suppose the
states of the Union adopted any such
policy as this. Why, the presidents and
secretaries Of insurance companies would
have time to do nothing but travel
around the country making Oaths.'
Chairman Johnson thought Mr.. Mann
was in error in his belief that the para
graph In question would be construed in
any such way. He said the sworn state
ments could be made elsewhere, and tina
the same clause gave the superintendent
Of insurance power to administer oaths
power which he did not have at the
present time. Mr.. Mann continued to con
tend that the language of the bill was
open to the construction TO which he tool
exception. Mr.. Mann suggested that the
superintendent of insurance and not the
District committee must have prepared
the bill. On division vote the bill was
defeated II to a
