Many of the women are taking
courses in highly technical subjects;
namely, plant accounting. refrigeration
heating and ventilation and higher
mathematics. Professors from the
University of Chicago and the North
western University are helping map
out the courses. The Board Of Eduea-

SHOPS AND THINGS

THE pioneer college woman who

plunged into the merchandising worlt
via the department store a decade OF
so ago, instead of following in well
trod paths, where tradition led the way
was long ago indicated by comparl-
son Of salary checks, experiences anc

Now comes more tangible express
sion on the part of the public, as well
as of the merchant. No more need the
salesgirl consider herself as one aloo1

one apologize to ones college mates

the outside of the bargain counter

The sponsor for the new order OF

the Board of Education and the Retail
Dry Goods Merchants Association OF
this city, will undertake to provide
teachers of craftsmanship for practical
courses of instruction in craftsmanship
in the high schools.
Just Mt present the store men and
the representatives Of educational in
situations are comforting constantly as
to the curriculum-for it is the mer-
chant, we are told, who will be largely
responsible for the shaping of the new
course of study, and who is giving il
the benefit of his practical experience
in these early stages.
1t may be the remarkable success OF
several trained persons in some New
York shops who came to the store with
a background and have turned that
background into dollars and cents
which has induced representative store
managers and owners to 20 into this
new plan and agree to pay all under
writing expenses of the course or it
may be because of decision on their
part that continuation schools would be
of more value in an institution of
learning than in the actual organiza-
