TIE SILK AGE DANGEROUS.

New York city is interested in
a scheme to make girls in the
high schools dress economical
ly and inconspiciously and keep
down competition in clothes
which those in straitened cir
cumstances can't afford to en-
ter. An Arkansas school prime
ipal has carried the matter still
further by requiring girls at
tending his school to wear
bingham dresses and cotton
stockings. But both are far be-
hind many Louisiana rural
schools where the girls are
taught to make their own cloth

was taken from the New Or
