This statement was denied by the chairman of the trade school committee. Mrs. Dor* Lyon. Miss Anne Rhoadcs, of the Post Parliament Club, declared that the l T tlca convention had taken er\ unfair advantage of the executive In requesting it to decldn the mutter, and Mrs. Dow said several times that the federation ought to have decided the matter Itself at the opening of the conference.

If they were not going to speak out everything In thetr minds, ehe did not know what they had come for. The motion was put and no one voted for It but the mover and seconder. Mrs. Train maun suggested that other schools besides the one In Amsterdam with which the federation might co-operate might be found, and mtutlonfd one tn New-Yorit which had been offered Informally to the federation.

This Mrs. Dore T,yon assorted was as good as burying the school. Sh« did not see how a more practical scheme could be presented than had been given already.

' thrill ran through the audience at this audacious assertion, and a chorus of "N"o. N'o's" and hlnes was heard. Half a dozen women B;>rarg to their feet, and tha president declared that Mrs. William Tod Helmuth had the floor. "Why are women walking our streets at night?" asked Mrs. Helmuth. "If they had a means of livelihood that a trade would g!vo them, do you think they would do It? Why are young women djing of consumption in our hospitals? If they had not had to work for starvation w;-.ges, mtny would never have contracted the d!so.ise. There is no iie» talking about educating public opinion and nsklng the legislature to provide such training for girls. We have been to Albany and tried to move not so much publlo opinion as our legislators there. They had no money tor girls, but a few days afterward they voted $UX>.OOO for n. veterinary col- lege.

Mrs. Helmuth did not approve of the present pluns for the school, which provide only for In- struction In cooking and eewlng. Sha wanted a trade school, she said, not a kindergarten, and would give the 1600 she has pledged for nothing else. She thought there would be no difficultyabout the money if the school were ence started, and several presidents said that though thetr clubs disapproved of the plan, they would support the executive board In whatever action It saw fit to take, and Mrs. Mills said that If the federattca with little falling enfis finished with the- tiniest of lace J.ibots.

This statement was denied by the chairman ofthe trade school committee. Mrs. Dor* Lyon.

Miss Anne Rhoadcs, of the Post Parliament Club,declared that the lT tlca convention had taken er\unfair advantage of the executive In requesting itto decldn the mutter, and Mrs. Dow said severaltimes that the federation ought to have decidedthe matter Itself at the opening of the conference.

Mm. I.illie Devereux Blake moved that no speakerbe allowed to speak more than five minutes, or tospeak twice, but Mrs. Ralph Trautmarm said thiswas what made the trouble at rtiea. Ifthey werenot going to speak out everything In thetr minds,ehe did not know what they had come for. Themotion was put and no one voted for It but themover and seconder. Mrs. Trainmaun suggestedthat other schools besides the one In Amsterdamwith which the federation might co-operate mightbe found, and mtutlonfd one tn New-Yorit whichhad been offered Informally to the federation.The rchool at Amsterdam, according to the reports,appeared to be only a small Institution for teachingcooking and sewing.

Mrs. I>>w b*cpo<l e.im»>sTiy and pathetically forunityand concord, and some anslstance for a sorelyperplexed executive board, but none w:is forth-coming, and the only result of a long afternoon'sdiscussion was a request, as the council could givero binding Instruction*, that the executive boarddefer action until a more practical schema could bepresented, and unrno assurance given of an Incomesufficient to support the school. This Mrs. DoreT,yon assorted was as good as burying the school.Sh« did not see how a more practical scheme couldbe presented than had been given already.

The hisses were elicited by Mrs. William 8. Mills,of the Froebel Club, who wa« so bold as to assertthat no one wanted the trsde school. An electrio

thrill ran through the audience at this audaciousassertion, and a chorus of "N"o. N'o's" and hlneswas heard. Half a dozen women B;>rarg to theirfeet, and tha president declared that Mrs. WilliamTod Helmuth had the floor.

"Why are women walking our streets at night?"asked Mrs. Helmuth. "If they had a means oflivelihood that a trade would g!vo them, do youthink they would do It? Why are young womendjing of consumption in our hospitals? If theyhad not had to work for starvation w;-.ges, mtnywould never have contracted the d!so.ise. There isno iie» talking about educating public opinion andnsklng the legislature to provide such training forgirls. We have been to Albany and tried to movenot so much publlo opinion as our legislators there.They had no money tor girls, but a few daysafterward they voted $UX>.OOO for n. veterinary col-lege.

She thought there would be no difficultyaboutthe money if the school were ence started, andseveral presidents said that though thetr clubsdisapproved of the plan, they would support theexecutive board In whatever action It saw fit totake, and Mrs. Mills said that If the federattca
