Training for the Housewives.

The failure of former shop and fac.

is often commented upon by American
social workers. In this connection it
Is interesting to note the establish
ment in Lelpsic of compulsory con.
tinuation school for unmarried women
employed in industry.
According to the regulations pro-
vided for this purpose by the muni-
cipal council all unmarried women
who have finished the public schools
and who live, or are employed in in
dustrial, mercantile or other estab-
lishments in Leipsic are compelled to
attend this continuation school for
three years. Even unemployment is
not accepted as an excuse for failure
to attend the school, Housekeeping is
the central subject taught, although
instruction Is also to be given in in.
dustrial and general subjects. The
number of hours of instruction ranges
from four to six each week. In addi-
tion to the compulsory features Of the
school, provision is also made for vol
untary attendance on the part Of girls
living at home or in service.
