In conclusion, we would respectfully urge the appropriation by the Slater Trust of a few thousand dollars to be expended for a few years as an experiment in the manner we have suggested. If the work is carefully supervised, we are convinced that it will be of incalculable value in enlarging the opportunities for self-support and usefulness among the rising generation of colored girls, and, through them, influence for good thousands of the colored race.
