public schools or high schools are
good for nothing but labelling.
Would it not be well for the city to
increase the number Of its trade
schools for girls? At the mid-year
graduation exercises of the Manhat-
tan Trade School for Girls a unique
feature was the presence Of girls
who had enjoyed a years training In
the school and who told Of the good
wages they had made because OF
their training. One girl who had
been graduated from the elementary
schools got a position IN a millinery
establishment as an apprentice at 81
a week. After a course In the train
ing school she at once got a position
at S. a week. and later on at piece
work made as high as 81 week.
Another girl. who as a cash girl In a
department store received only s. a
week. took a course in embroidery
at the trade school. after which she
was able to get Jobs paying from SO
to SIC a week. Every city should In
crease it's number of trade schools
for girls. Preparing girls who must
work to do at least one thing we'll is
quite as important as fitting other
girls for college.

MOST OF WHEAT

Special to The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 24.-Dur-
irE the past month oklahoma farmers
who had wheat i'm graneries have been
selling much of it, and at present
there is not more than Is per cent Of
the crop in the farmers hands, ac-
cCrding tC information received at the
board of agriculture. Up to a month
ago the farmers had most of their
crop on hand, waiting for better
price Their wait proved successful
for during the past month a great
deal of wheat has been sold for 81
and more a bushel The growing
condition of the present crop is very
satisfactory. but it IS possible the
acreage will not be so large as the
ST year crop. o..
There will not be more than halt
the cotton crop as last year, when the
state had ,2OO,0 600 bales. If thore a:e
600. GOO bales when the crop is finally
in the showing will bc much better
than predicted some Time ago. Dur
ing the last month the price has been
between II and II cents, which is
considered much better with the short
crop than last year with u large crop
and low price.
