Trade Course in Dressmaking at the
School of Forestry.
In line with the plans Of the State
Board of Regents, and with the re-
quirements of the Educational Sur
vey, the School Of Forestry is offering
a trade course in dressmaking start
ing March 26th. The course is a SER
les of carefully graded lessons in de-
signing, drafting, cutting, fitting,
making and trimming of ladies and
children's garments. The work will be
upon REAL GARMENTS, made of
cotton, linen, silk and wool, since each
textile presents new problems.
Girls who are taking this course
will be permitted the choice as to
whether they furnish the material and
retain the clothes made, or whether
the school furnish the materials and
retain the clothes.
The small registration fee of $500

only expense. A comparison with the
ordinary fees charged by schools in
connection with commercial dressmak-
ing shops will show how relatively
small a fee the school is charging.

BOYS TO COLLEGE
ST. MARY'S CHURCH DOING HER
BIT IN GREAT CRISIS.

St. Mary's Catholic church. Of this
city, has undertaken a laudable pro.
ject. 1t proposes to send at congrega
tional expense two boys to ST. Am
brose College at Davenport, and Faith
er Lotus is now engaged in raising
the necessary money. ~. .'.'.
Just how the boys will be chosen
has not been determined as yet, but
the chosen ones should be proud OF
such an opportunity. What indiTid
ually the people of st. Mary's may be
able to do, collectively, and by work
ing together, they can accomplish, and
the candidates in years to come will
probably return to the church the
money thus advanced for their educa
ton, with interest added, :,
This movement is along the line OF
the Liberty Bond and other sacrifices
for the good of the country at war
Our nations head of big, brainy men
of the highest educational attachments
and strong characters will be almost
as great as that for soldiers and lead
ers in the grtat conflict For when
peace is established we win need mer
of big calibre to give the people the
full fruits of the unsalfish ends fol
which our soldiers are now striving.
President Wilson is calling to oui
people to send their young men and
young women to school, that they may
be better fitted for the great problems
that are sure to follow the close o.
the war. This is cause that strikes
Catholic and non-Catholic alike as the
right thing, and st. Mary's is to BIZ
commended for the splendid bit it il
going to do in righteous and patriot
ic cause.
