Continuation Schools in Danger.

There is measure pending in both
houses Of the Legislature at Albany
to repeal the present continuation
school law. it is known as the
Hutchinson bill, and there was
n hearing on it yesterday In the
course Of which IL was opposed by
educators and school officials rom
all parts OF the State. The plea of
the hackers o. the bill is that II is
In the interest of economy; the reply
of its opponents Is that the saving
is out OF all proportion to the injury
done 10 the cause of education. At
any rate, the system has not had a
fair trial 1t is only in an expert
mental stage; it should have time to
demonstrate its value.
Little is known by people in general
about the continuation schools and
their working. They have existed
on a voluntary basis since 1917. but
last year attendance was made COM
pulsory. They are intended for the
benefit of the large class Of children
boys and girls alike--who take out
their working papers at IA years Of
age because family circumstances
compel them to become self-support-
Ing. They must be attended until
either the age Of rs Is reached or
else the equivalent Of q regular school
graduation certificate is secured.
Each pupil Is obliged to attend one
continuous session Of four hours a
week and, as the plan develops, pen
alties will be assessed upon pa rents
or employers who offer obstruction
Naturally nm employer cannot be
compelled to engage boy or girl
who has this lien on his or her time
the sessions are held in the morn
Ing or afternoon--but the school OIL
cials generally succeed In making the
advantage plain, and where job Is
lost pains are taken to find q better
one for the child.
Two hours each session are devoted
10 instruction in English. arithmetic,
hygiene and civics The rest IS given
10 vocational work. from electric
wiring 70 bookkeeping for boys, and
from sewing to cooking for girls.
This city has four Of these schools
They are in Greenwich Village. on the
lower East Side, in Brooklyn and on
Staten Island By 1928. under the
law, twenty-five schools and 1000
teachers will be needed, as there ure

gation 20 attend The cost IS figured

State contributes part
The labor unions and all LIBERAL
employers are said TO favor the sys-
rem. 1T Is represented as much
cheaper than compulsory attendance
at night school and much more effec-
tive. The courts will not compel

Al through the silent winter night
Aspiring 70 the planets bright

Young Ladies' Attire Should Be
Neat, InCOnspiCuous.
Spotted Finery and Gay coIors Give
Appearance of Carelessness,
Fashion Critic Declares.

There is every reason why a young
girl should strive to make herself at
tractive in appearance, says fashion
critic in Good Housekeeping. The
trouble often is that her standard of
what is attractive is wrong. 1t is a
mistake to strive to he conspicuous,
while it is right to look charming,
neat and inconspicuous Cleanliness
and tidiness are two great factors.
The hair and hands should be immacu-
late, while great puffs of hair and
frowsiness are never attractive. Spot
ted finery or gay cOlors give an appear
ance of carelessness and frivolity
which do not speak well for the bust
ness character of the Individual or the
work she is likely to perform, where
as cleanliness and well-brushed and
becoming plain clothes inspire conf
dence and betOken capable, self-re-
specting individual.
There is charm in well-arranged
hair and pretty clothes which every
young girl should take advantage of,
but do not make the mistake of think
ing that exaggerated hair and fussy
clothes have charm. whether during
business hours or after. They have
not. There is a correct standard of
dress for business as well as for social
life.
To be suitably dressed for a given
occasion is to be well dressed. Upon
the kind of work depends the cos
tune. If most of the time is spent
indoors, tailored dresses are more be-
coming than a shirtwaist and skirt.
If, on the other hand, the work is out
of doors, a suit is smarter. The over
blouse now used, of the same shade
as the suit, has done away with the
hard line Of demarcation between the
light waist and dark skirt, which
proved at all times unbecOming.
Whether a dress or suit, the secret Of
is simplicity of line and cut.
Black, navy blue and brown are the
most suitable colors for business, for
they blend with their surroundings.
The epitOme of good taste is incOn-
spicuOus dressing. Well-dressed we'll
bred women wear plain street clothes
or tailored dresses during the day.

IN SMART MILLINERY THINGS
Wings of Brilliant Hue and in Lac
quered Effect Are Among the
Favored Trimmings.

Wings in brilliant colors and in
lacquered effects are among the new
millinery trimmings. Cockades and
sweeping bows of wide ribbons, as
well as glycerined ostrich and fantasy
ornaments In cellophane and oilclOth
figure conspicuously on the smartest
hats. The bows and cockades are
posed directly at the front of the hat
in such way as TO give height, quite
in contrast to the broad, low trim
mings which have been seen for so
long.
On turbans of medium size, the
bows are placed at the side of the
front, but at forward angle Rib
bon bows or spreading wings posed
directly across the back or at the side
give width to some of the models.
Very pretty turbans, in felt. in blacl
or in color, are trimmed with velvet
flowers. The black turbans have the
flowers in color, while the colored hat
has a matching floral decoration.
