Gvies Reasons Why
Girls Leave School

mother who worked in a corset fac
tory, laundry, or some such place,
while the girl whose wage-earning
power was small kept house for the
mother Of the children
CURIOUS differences as to what the
parents Thought they could afford were
discovered. The mother Of a family
loi eight children living apparently in
direst poverty would have been glad
to have sacrificed and pinehed still
further to have had her daughter stay
in school longer, II she would. The
mother OF another family Of six living
in comfortable apartment house,
with hardened floors, piano and other
Injuries, said her daughter wished to
stay in school longer, bnt the burden
OF supporting the family was 100 heavy
/ for the father ia bear alone; SO the
gin was taken out or seh0dl to go To
work. A visit to a Swedish family re-
yealed carpenta' and his wife, q
washerwoman, who had just built and
owned a new three-story apartment
house. Yet the i5-year-old daughter
with seventh grade education had
been sent to work in a paper goods fac
tory al 81 per week. The question
why did you leave school, was put
IL 3S6 more mature workers in the
corset trade Ninety-one per cent OF
these women had left school between
the ages of l3 and l6, and fully so per
Icent because OF their dislike Of a school
because they wanted TO 90 to work.
OF "a workers in a clothing factory. s.
per cent had left school between the
ages Of 13 and l6, and of these 25 Der
cent left school OF their own voltion.
In the opinion Of the board OF edu-
cation conditions such as found al
/ Worcester emphasize the imperative
need for special training Of a practical
sort for girls between 10 and is. In
the main the girls left school simply
because they disliked the school work
Not getting the kind Of training they
might have liked and would have
pfofited by they blindly Joined the
army Of shifting inefficient, discon
tinted girls that 90 from one monoton
Gus factory job to another and, be-
cause of their lack Of training, Farel,
rise above the class Of low.paid. nn
