The question ot sewing In the public
schools In England Is a tOlllc oC consldera-

from this class that Englsh board schools
are largely recruited It Is shown that they
are cbllgeil. to unlearn what they have
learned at school when they go Into shops ,

I Is to be preaflmmiel that women are going
to lear sowing less and less as the years '

hut theIr work on the board did not meet the
approval oC practical Ilollclans , anti , the
Ilractce was nbandonenl. Commenlng on the
i.mmriuose of Mayor Strong , the Sun says :
"The arglment : for theIr alPolltment to the
Hoard of Education Is that the women schot' '
tesehcrs and girl puidle ought to have \omen
to supervise them amid guard their special In-
terets . But the majority of this communlt
generally are womnemi and hence there Is
ahunlant reason why women should have a
