Training in Electricity
According to Mrs Barton-Scott, of London, who is at present visiting New Zealand, one of the newest and most progressive of women’s organisations in England is the Women’s. Electrical Association. It was founded a few years ago by Miss Caroline Haslett, who is the present director. The association to-day plays an important part in improving the lot of the housewife in England and an important part of its work was the training of housewives in the safe use of electricity. Members of the association—which now reaches several thousands—receive a very- efficient education in the manipulation and repair of electrical appliances. For a special display and show held at Bristol recently, an all-electric house, with cooking, airing, heating and drying apparatus all electrically controlled, was built.
