AMERICAN DUCHESS WORKS ON GREAT
 HOUSING SCHEME
Amazing Influx of Women Into Industry Creates Problem to Be Solved.
 HOstels to Be Built
Rx JOHN S. STEELE

London August 3.-The amazing influx of women into industry, and particularly into munitions work in England, has created a housing problem which is un- like anything which has had to be dealt with previously by the statesmen and philanthropists of the country, and which is being dealt with by the ministry of
 munitions with the aid of an organization of which the American Duchess of Marl- borough is leading spirit. This is the National Association for Womens Lodg- ing Homes, which was organized a few years ago to meet the demand for decent the women and girls who were then be- ginning to crowd into industry.
 The association has done good work, but on a small scale, and would prob ably have continued to go quickly along, just touching the fringe of the problem had it not been for the imperative de- mand for just the sort of experience that it had acquired, created by the great war. The withdrawal of men from all sorts of industry created an immense de- mand for women's labor. The establish ment of new munitions factories on an immense scale and the employment of women in the various machine shops which had been turned into arsenale caused an immense displacement of popu- lation for the women had to De collected from all parts of the country and brought to the places where their labor was needed. The problem of housing them became acute for it was not long before every availab decent lodging house. room was occupied, and in this emergency Lloyd the minister of munitions turned to the national association for help

lodgings, of course, in the neighbor- hood and some have formed little groups and taken small houses and set up cooperative housekeeping. There are no more rooms and no more small houses to be had, however, and the only solution is the hostel hut. There is not even any relief to be hoped for from the building of new houses for the ministry of munitions had forbidden all but the most absolutely necessary new building operations, because of the shortage of labor. It has even com pelled the stoppage of work on half finished public buildings like the Lon don County Council hall and the Metro politan water boards new offices in London, and is only permitting the absolutely necessary work to prevent the deterioration of that already done
 NEW TOWN CREATED
 MT. Lloyd-George has built some where in Britain-the censor will not allow more definite location-a whole new town which has grown up on barren moor miles from anywhere, and it is crying out for girl labor. The girls must be housed and the hostel hut is the solution, run on the lines of the Stead Memorial hostel.
 The dominant notes of the new hos tels, and of the Stead Memorial, are cleanliness and daintiness and there are flowers everywhere. On the day I visited the Stead hostel it was gay with great punches of wild flowers, brought back by a few of the girls from a country walk on the previous Sunday. This one incident seemed to me to strike the key note of home. The girls thought enough of the hostel to decorate it. Whoever heard of the boarders in cheap board ing house bringing in flowers for it?
 Of course conditions in American cities are not quite the same as in England. Working girls are better paid and usually can find work nearer home, but with certain adaptations to suit American conditions the Stead hostel idea might well be applied in some of the big cities of the United States.

Promoting Pupils
M. V. o'shea in the August Mother.

M. V. O'Shea in the August Mothers Magazine.
 In former days it was believed that pupils should be promoted only once a. year. If they failed in any one sub ject they were held back one year. Pupils were often required to spend two or more years in one grade though they might have, the first year, com pleted satisfactorily all the work ex- cept one study.
 But in no up-to-date school today is this practice followed Pupils are pro- noted several times a year. Thus the gap between any two classes is not so great as when there was or is promo ton but once year. On this plan pu- pills can move along as rapidly as they are able to. A bright pupil is not held back by one who is not so we'll en- dowed by nature, or who is so ear- nest or so we'll taught at home An industrious pupil has an opportunity to push ahead and complete his course earlier than he could if he had to keep the lock step" with his class mates.
 It is a disadvantage, alike to chil- dren of ability and those who are not so well favored, to keep them all together for year at time. A capable pupil who has to wait for a slower or duller one is injured thereby. He not only wastes his time; but what lis far more disastrous, he is apt to as- qure habits of idleness and mind wandering. When a pupil sits unoc- cupied in his seat every day, waiting for slower pupils to catch up with him, he can hardly fail to get into ways which will be a handicap to him later
 on. Such pupil ought to be moved along into a class in which he will need to apply himself in order to keep up with his classmates. Every pupil. whether bright or dull. ought to feel that he mustsdo his best constantly in order to hold his own with his fellows. But if the lad with talents must wait for the lad without them. then the for
 mer will not exert himself as he should.

MANY MILLION WORK FRS

There are now over 60,0C0 women and girls between the ages of IS and 25 em- ployed in munitions works alone. Every great factory and business house. includ- ing even such conservative institutions as banks, have filled the places of their men who are now fighting in France or training in England with girls. At most conservative estimate nearly a million girls who never worked before have now been added to the ranks of industry and some provision must be made for them.
 The pioneer of the women's hostel movement was the Stead Memorial hostel in St. Georges road, London, just behind Victoria station Tt was founded as memorial to w. T. Stead who was drowned in the Titanic disaster.
 The Stead hostel is a model of what all the other hostels, which are now in process of establishment by rne ministry of munitions, and in other centers by private and philanthropic enterprise. ought to be. It is established in fine old house on the Duke of Westminster s London estate. The district is on the edge of Begravia, and is what is de- scribed in England as "decayed." Wealth and fashion have moved away, and it is on the verge of slumdom. Many fine old houses are lodging houses, and others are fast on the way to becoming tene- ments. The house in which the Stead hostel is established has been rescued from this fate. By special arrange ment with the Duke of Westminster the house has been secured for a period of P years at ground rent of 25 cents a year.

MEETING REAL WANT

we feel that we are meeting real want The time has come when women are needed in industry and you know what trouble girl earning small wage has in finding decent place to live. Many of our girls have told me that before they found out about the hostel they were compelled to live in slums where they were afraid to go out alone at night. It is bad enough for any girl and for girls afflicted with what Dante called the fatal gift of beauty it is doubly bad. They are constantly exposed to in- suit and temptation. There were all sorts of organizations for picking up the victims. but nothing to remove the cause It was like picking up those who had fallen over an unguarded precipice and neglectng the building of a fence. We are supplying the fence, and I am glad to say now that MT. Lloyd-George is talk ing up our work on a large scale and using our experience in providing for his girl munition workers. Of course he has much bigger problem, for he will have to house them in great numbers and the difficulty will be to avoid the bar rack atmosphere. It can be overcome. however, by the appointment of the right sort of women as house matrons.''
 The ministry of munitions has already taken over schoolhouses and similar buildings in the munitions areas and in places where they are not available it is putting up what are technically known in the army as nuts" but which are really comfortable wooden houses. Each of these huts will accommodate about 60 girls and each is a se1f-Dntained home with complete cooking, bathing and sani- tary arrangements. It is intended to give more space for recreation and the ameni- ties of life. The catering will be done at cost and the girls will be charged for their lodging a sum just sufficient to cover the cost of erecting and maintain- ing the huts.
 Tn the Woolwich area alone where the great government arsenals are situ- ated there are no fewer than 16,000 women and girls employed fin making munitions Many of these have found

METHOD DESCRIBED

The method and principles of working were described to me the other day by Mir. Skrine sitting in one of the pretty and comfortable rooms of the hotel
 we can accommodate 2S girls here at one time," he said, land the hostel IS always full. During the last year we had 45 girls in residence and I should say their average earnings were about $6.25 week. They included eight clerks, four dressmakers, one journalist three lecturers, five milliners, one missionary, two munitions workers, three nurses, six shop assistants, four teachers, five act resses, two typists and one waitress. We always have long waiting list and in almost every case when the girls leave us they go out of their way to tell us that they are going through no com plaint of the management. It Is signifi- cant that when a girl leaves us because she has lost her employment she always comes back when she finds ano,ner job, and that good many of our girls work three or four miles away, and do not mind going and coming every morning and evening.
 This 6ld house is divided up mro a number of excellent rooms and two girls can either share small room or a girl can have a cubicle in large room divided among four or more girls. The charge for this is equal to s1.25 a week. A girl can have full board here for g. 50 a week, or she can have breakfast for 10 cents. dinner for IA cents, tea for s cents and supper for 10 cents. These meals are good and succulent.
