According ly. the matter of city control and su pervision, making the institution i co ordinate part of the public school s\$ tem. was brought before the proper 1 authorities. Plan Adopted b> City. Miss Olivia Eeventritt, a member of the Board of Education, who was en thusiastically in favor of the- plan, asked the board to take charge of the school for a period of two years, be ginning next September. leasing the building and equipment of the Man hattan Trade School. Her resolution was adopted b\ a vote oi 2> to n at a recent meeting. By this move, the first attempt of the kind in America to train young girls in useful trades, a new epoch has been ope ned up in educational af fairs along industrial lines. While ( in the past some attention in pubii* schools has been given to teaching ooys how to use their hands to make themselves self-supporting the girls have been overlooked. The school j will he open to girls, even though they lack elementary training. Miss Eeventritt saicT^tliat th*- taking j over of this school bv the Board of j Education could he done at an an I nual rental of about Jti.ooo. resulting in great benefit to young women who wish to learn a trade*, and that a c lass i of girls would thus U reached ihui otherwise would not c-no under the care oT Ihe Tmafcl' The ~ob]e< t W Hi be to teach girls in twelve months th** elements of the trades that are open to women. \nnual Expense $25,000. Miss Eeventritt said that the institu tion had been conducted by a board of trustees, supported bv subscriptions, and had been t*uching in a nine months’ course various trades to four hundred girls, at an uutlav of $25, 000 a year.

The short time which the> ran give cannot ai> eoniplish both a trade training mu' a knowledge of < • •••king, but the cooking classes were started and have proved very successful. The school has ais> demonstrated during its six years »»f life that gil ls • 'ih.. ated there can com mand a fair wage in trade, and that those who can give the longer time to tills training tn obtain better po-; sit ions and salaries than those w ho remain but a iv months. Hence it has conn* abie i that an increasing number of tin students have been willing to give ;t >. ar or more to pre pa ration. The si ho .: w .i darted to show what can be done t" inak» the unskilled girl of fourteen years f age a more" or less skilled worker, or, at least, to en able her to earn a living wage. If this could be a-i uupitshed, it was felt that the pupih s. hools of the country would incorporate similar work a.- a part of the publh s pool system. The demonstration given by the school has aroused the greatest interest among public school authorities, not or- i i New York, hut ' many other cities. Yttcuty I’npiU at St;grt.

WASHINGTON. L>. C., June U-—The whole town of Washington stood aghast with astonishment when It dis covered, as a result of the Pennsyl vania primaries, that Joseph C. Sib ley had been nominated for Congress again, sue re titling Representative Nel son P. Wheeler, of the Twenty-eighth district. "J<*V’ Sibley was one of the ynost popular men in Congress during his former service in the House.
