wAsHINGToN's MODEL LAWS.
The New State With the Progressive
Civilization.

Though Washington is new state
formed from territory furthest removed
from where civilization first set its foot
on the American continent, it boasts q
civilization second to none and cites its
laws governing women as proof. In
Washington women vote and hold office.
They labor, but they must not labor
more than eight hours a day. They earn
their own livings- thousands OF them
and they are aided in doing so by
minimum wage law that is designed to
guarantee to every woman who has TO
work living wage Food clothes and
place to sleep without dishonor," was
the way one legislator epitomized the
minimum needs OF working woman.
and on this basis the minimum wage
commission has established minimum
wages for four industries, and is making
the preliminary surveys for the other in
dustries in which the working women of
Washington take part
Under the rulings made to this date,
says an Olympia letter in the Philadel-
phia North American, no employer shall
pay to girl or woman in a mercantile
establishment less than SO a week of
not to exceed is hours. Laundry work
ers and telephone girls shall receive not
less than 50 for such work and factory
girls shall receive not less than $3.50.
When minimum wages are established
for workers in canneries, for mattresses,
for servants and for office help, approx
mately $4,000 women viii be working in
the state under a guarantee of what is
intended to be living wage. Statistics
gathered by the minimum wage commits
sion indicate that nearly half of this
number are already receiving the equiv
alent of the minimum wages being es-
tablished.
The commission has based all its
rulings on the ground of the actual needs
of working woman to maintain her
self. and in one instance, that of the
laundry workers, officially refused to
adopt recommendation of $3.50 week.

EFFICIENCY IN EDUCATION.

The Bryant & Stratton Commercial
School, 334 Boylston Street, Boston, one
of the best known institutions in the
United States for the training OF business
men and women, re-opened September oth.
The location of the school is adyanta-
geous. 1t is in one of the most important
centers, bounded by Arlington, Boylston
and Providence Streets easily accessible
from the distant parts of the city and the
suburban districts.
Particular attention has been given to
the conditions under which the students
have to work. The building was con-
structed especially for the school. There
is excellent light from high and wide
windows and plenty of fresh air in constant
circulation throughout all the rooms.
The school occupies the entire building
with the exception of the street floor.
The Bryant & Stratton teaching plan
has become famous. 1t is an individual
system, based upon the personal require
ments Of the pupil, and tends to develop
his or her ability 20 the highest point OF
efficiency. A combination OF study and
practice enables the graduate to accom-
plish difficult, practical work Immediately
upon entrance into the business world.
The School not only fits for general bust
ness but offers other courses equally strong,
fitting for private secretarial and steno-
graphic positions, the civil service, and
the teaching of commercial branches in
high schools.
There is an amending demand from high
grade business houses for Bryant & STRAIT
ton graduates. Today. they are demon
strating their ability in every part of the
world.
The Bryant s. Stratton School should
not be confused with so-called business
colleges. The sessions are similar to those
of a strictly academic institution-from 9
until daily, with no attendance on Sat
urdays, evenings, or during the summer
season.
The strongest evidence Of the high char
acter of this institution is the fact that all
its patronage comes unsolicited. No can
wasting or other methods in common prsc-
tice are used 70 obtain students.

LINERS OFF FOR CANADA.
Mysterious Departure of Transatlantic
Steamers for Dominion Ports.


New York, Sept. l2.-Three large
trans Atlantic liners have cleared froul
New York during the past "a hours Tor
Canadian ports, presumably to trans
port troops to Europe. The Saxonia and
Ivernia of the Cunard line steamed out
late Thursday night for Montreal. The
Lapland of the White Star line yester-
day received clearance papers for Que
bee. 1t was said she would leave later
in the day.
Both the Cunard and White Star line
disclaimed knowledge of the purpose for
which the ships had been ordered to
Canada.
More stories of the passage of Rus
sian troops through England came in
with the Celtic. Her passengers said
that all passenger traffic on railroad
lines leading to Southampton had been
suspended for a time to speed the trains
bearing the Russian troops to their
transports. The shades to the windows
of the coaches, they said, were drawn
and the soldiers were carefully shielded
from observation.
Reports that 100000 troops from Aus
tralia and India had passed through
Canada within the past week were cited
in connection with the Canadian en-
barge on shipping news, the suggestion
being made that if such troop move
ment really were under way the Brit
ish authorities naturally would wish to
maintain secrecy as to shipping activity
in connection with it.
