What Shall We Do With Our Daughters?

What Shall We Do With Our Daughters?—This is the interrogative title of one of Mrs. Livermore's lectures. An exchange makes answer after this practical fashion:
Teach them self-reliance. Teach them to make bread. Teach them to make shirts. Teach them to foot up store bills. Teach them not to paint or powder. Teach them to wear thick, warm shoes. Teach them how to make their own dresses. Teach them that a dollar is only a hundred cents. Teach them how to cook a good meal of victuals. Teach them to darn stockings and sew on buttons.
