I fail to see where we are getting too “mod- ern", for home-cooking and sewing were available in the school I attend. ed some (shall I admit it?) twenty years ago. 1 must admit, however, that these courses didn’t seem to do me a lot of good, but of course not | everyone is the complete dunderhead at sewing that I am.

Only a shortage on the labour market makes it possible for them to hold jobs, I'm sure. Right here in Williams Lake, there are stenographic jobs going begging every week, and when I think of the depression days when even with good training, I couldn’t get a job, it makes! me wish I was quintuplets!
