Leave School to Work.
In the school for working women
in Rotterdam last year. 109 girls were
turned away on account of lack of
accommodations for them. This year
the number has been less, since the

forced many families TO send their
girls 10 work earlier than usual; also
the absence OF many men mobllized

greatly increased the demand foT wo-
men workers.

HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES
BASED Upon THoMPsoN's History.
LESSON |. CHAPS. 100.

Before any adequate knowledge of
the history of the United States can
be acquired it will be necessary to es-
tablish some facts in regard to
European conditions at and before the
time of the discovery of America.
Read pages Ia. Study in connection,
also the questions on page 3 of the
questions and Topics. If possible read
one or more of the references for
teachers on page 2, Q. and T.
Another prime factor in the develop
ment of early American history is the
North American Indian, A study of
his habits, occupations, numbers and
ditrlbution, character and religion, and
his relations with the white man is abb
solutely essential to full understand
ing of the colonial period. Read page
1924, also questions on page 4 and
@. and T.
Get good physical map of North
America and study the geographical
nature of the country consider es peci-
ally mountain systems, valleys, coastal
plains, rainfall and mean annual tenn
perature in comparison with these same
conditions in Europe. Maps for this
purpose may be found in Dodge's Com
parative Geography, page "A, 45, Sc, 81
