URGES TRAINING FOR GIRLS
Women as Precuding Necessity
for Marriage.

New York, Jan. 18.-Practical train
ing gives girls independence and pre-
cludes the necessity for marriage
without love, said William Howard
Taft, in an address at the annual
meeting of the Hebrew Technical
School for Girls.
According to your report, 1900
girls have been graduated from this
school, and l am glad to see that only
260 got married." said the former
president Many women have to
marry, not because they love the man
of their choice but because it is a
custom.
1.-THE only way to avoid that cOndi.
ton is for a girl to become independ-
ent by learning useful trade. Then
when a man who is a scrub asks her
to marry she can say, I can do better
as l am-inGependent.' In this way
she can make no mistake"
