Sch0ol Building for $500 Women

times over, in the present shortage, at
SIS week to begin on. The girls go out
as fast as they are ready into shops max
ing army supplies. Although the uni
forms are made by men, every other gar
ment which the soldier wears--shirts, un-
derwear, stockings, etc--is made mostly
by women.
When the new building is equipped
and running at full capacity it will be
able to accommodate 1900 girls in the
day school and night school Of two
sets of students a week. 1000 in each, on
alternate nights. Altogether, between
1000 and $500 girls and women will be
able to take advantage of this oppor-
tunity for trade training.
The building will have fine roof gar
den, spacious gymnasium and shower
baths for the recreation and health of
the girls. On the ninth floor will be the
school lunch room, managed and run by
the students, and on the ground floor a
cafeteria and tea room open to the public
as we'll as shop and SHOW windows for
the display and sale of the girls work.
These two lunch rooms will make possible

canteen workers wh6 are now in great
demand, we'll as the teaching of cooks
and cooks assistants, who are soon 60
ing to be. wanted in the army, since it
has been decided to use women for
these positions.
The greatest area in the big building
will, of course, be given to increased
space for trades in which the demand
is heaviest. These in general are the
needle trades, and specially machine oper-
ating. Another that is growing in i'm
portance because Of the war is that of
flower and feather making. The reason
for this is that formerly large part
of these goods were imported; now i'm
portation has ceased, and before it can
be resumed the trade will probably have
made its home in this country
The same is true of glove making.
