 cago schools. will make the training of girls for industrial life a part of the regular curriculm when the school year opens in the fall, and
 begin to put into practice her creed,
 announced when she was first ap- pointed, to do as much for our girls as for our boys
 The school for Mechanic Arts will be in the old South Division high school and in it girls will be taught to cook, ncedlework of practical kinds, millinery, typesetting, de- signing, etc.
 Girls need practical training.
 even more than boys" said Mrs. Young, because it is generally more |diilieult for women to support
 themselves. Besides, there is a great need for women trained to do |eeriain things and do them well. I
 can find any number of women who
 will maks me new dress, but few who will mend an old one. Of course we shall not make the work all drudgery, and the course will in- elude d little English, music, litera- lure and chemistry
 The school will be open to girls of fourteen years and up. It will continue for eleven months. and probably will have night classes as well. A preliminary experiment was started June f. and has been so successful that all the advocates of the new plan are very enthusiastic.
