A school of housemaids will be estab
lished in Los Angeles, according to
plans announced by Mrs. Edwin A.
Knapp, formerly a newspapc*rwoman
of Kansas City and more recently di

Federation of Women's Clubs.
Mrs. Knapp believes that through
a course of training and the subse

know every dotal of such services, th<»
work will bo raised to the dignity of a
skilled trade if not a profession.
Mrs. Knapp said the plan had been
tried successfully in Kansas City,
where such an institution was conduct
ed bv the board of education. The pro
spective maids are trained for house
work just as others are trained for
teaching, with higher standards of
sei-vice and pay and recognition with
other skilled workers.
