GIRLS TAUGHT TO LOVE WORK.
At Industrial Farm They Are Willing
To Do Anything.

How girls are taught to lo&e work
and to be willing to do anything given
them at the State Industrial farm at
Lansing was told by Mrs. Julia B.
Perry, superintendent of the farm, be-
fore the Topeka Public Nursing as
ISOLATION this morning
I'VE try to teach the girl that she is
bigger than the work. and should not
object to whatever is given her to do"
Mrs. Perry said. Few girls that come
to us have ever really cared for work
and realized its value in the right
life.
"A lamentable condition is that dis
eased girls are only kept at the farm
long enough to be cured, usually about
two or three months, which is far from
being long enough. to do constructive
work with them. They should have at
least year at the farm" she said.
