Girls Learn Carpenter’s Tools

A NOVEL innovation has been made in the Dwight School, of Boston, Mass., and the girls are now taught the use of carpenter's tools. The Salem Normal School, where the pupils are all girls, is teaching the new branch also. The object is health, strength, and a command of nerves and muscles. Prof. Hagar of the latter school, recently said: "I am glad they are learning to hammer. For any considerable number of women to know how to handle a hammer so as to strike a nail squarely on the head is a phenomenon seldom witnessed."—Christian Statesman.
