(From our own correspondent.) February 16. One of the very useful adjuncts to the parish is the workroom in connection with the Convent technical school, attached to the Girls’ School, Craigie Avenue, where dressmaking has been carried on for many years. A large number of girls have received valuable instruction in the intricacies of dressmaking and designing, and several have thus been N enabled to commence business on their own account, and to take charge of large departments elsewhere. The ruling rate of wages is paid, and apart from possessing the advantages of any ordinary workroom there is the additional benefit of the truly Catholic atmosphere amongst the workers.
