at one machine and does not even see
the result of her labor. She feeds the
machine and some other worker takes
away the hats she shapes. A skilled

trimming, the color scheme, and puts
the materials together.
ONE GREAT ADVANTAGE IN DOMESTIC
SYSTEM OF INDUSTRY.
Thus you see, while it was better
that the factory system should supplant
the domestic system, nevertheless the
factory system has great faults and the
domestic system Of industry, with all
its horrible injustice to women, was not
without Its advantages. In the home
system manufacturing was carried on
i, q more leisurely manner. If the
women followed trades they followed
them. so to speak, at comfortable

home had time, as rule, to keep house
and to teach her daughters to keep
house. 1t was necessary for women to
know something Of household arts be-
cause everything they ate had to be
cooked at home or else dispensed with.
Whatever other trade a woman pur-
sued ut home she had some opportun-
ity to become a craftsman in domestic
science
The necessity Of preserving the
knowledge Of household arts has led
all students Of the working
problem to urge that women be directed
into industries which are allied to do
nestle tasks. Unfortunately there are
no such industries.
In the sewing trades, notable In mus
lin underwear manufacturing, the
speed Of the needles is incredibly high.
A few years ago the speed was gagged
up to 5000 stitches minute. At pres
ent 1t is almost double that number.

The school maintains classes in power

mentary and advanced. Many trades
are represented by power operating.
For example, there are half a dozen or
more special machines for embroider-
ing, marking, ETC.. for straw sewing
| (hats), and for work on leather and
goods other than cloth.
The hand sewing is principally In
connection with the making to order Of
fine lingerie, shirt waists, and gowns.
The school does not teach any Of these
branches as mere theory. It takes or
ders from manufacturers, department
stores, and private trade, and the girls
fill these orders. From the time Of
their entering school until they leave
it they are trade workers, only they
are working as apprentices under ex-
pert direction.
The school also teaches the best Of
the pasting trades, such as the max
ing Of jewelry and silver boxes, fancy
silk. brocade and cretonne boxes, such
as are sold in department stores for
handkerchief, jewelry, etc. This Is
called novelty work." 1t is good
trade and remunerative. Heretofore
such boxes had to be imported. The
school turned out in one year 1,4OO
boxes for one perfumery house which
had never been able before to get its

The Hebrew Technical School for
Girls In New York has classes In STEM
ography, typewriting, and other com
mercial branches. Other classes main
tained are In sewing, dressmaking, mil
linery, and embroidery. This school
is private.
When the Manhattan Trade School
was first established it was found diff
ficult to fill the classes with the kind
Of girl the managers of the school
were anxious to reach, the girl who was
absolutely obliged to earn her living
in trade. The families needed the
small wage their daughters were able
to earn, and they were skeptical as to
the value Of the trade training offered.
EXPERIENCE OF TWO SISTERS SHOWS
VALUE OF TECHNICAL TRAINING.
In one family there were two daugh-
tiers, both Of whom left grammar
school the same June. Annie, the elder
by year, was a bright, ambitious,
healthy specimen Of girl, while Jen-
ME was timid, not overnight, and very
reluctant to 60 to work. The mother,
being importuned by friendly settle
ment worker, finally consented to al
low one Of the girls to enter the trade
school. But it'll have to be Jennie"
she insisted. annie can get a job
any day. and hold her own in 1t, too.
But Jennie might learn something IN
the school. She can try it. If you're so
anxious"
So Jennie entered the trade school
and elected the dressmaking trade.
Annie at the same time entered q dress

tice. For six months she ran errands,
