GIRLS’ SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES
CONFERENCE OF PRINCIPALS Sir,—ln view of the near approach of the above conference, I would like to make a few suggestions for consideration. Your paper Is such u far reaching one, that I feel I cannot do better, than beg the privilege of a corner in it. 1 know that one of the chief aims of the conference is tho co-operation with parents for the bettor management of their girls.- This is a most extravagant age, and it would help parents, and be a lasting blessing to the girls if dress expenses were curtailed. Would it not bo possible for them to wear out their summer frocks of an evening? Sewing seems another almost universal difficulty. Should not every girl be taught plain sewing in all its branches before being allowed the use of machines? ■The law of "thine and mine” should be enforced with the utmost rigidity. A girl should net be allowed to go to another’s room, or locker without permission.—l am, etc., A MOTHER.
