Sewing Classes.
Two classes are held each week—one at the Model Welfare Centre on
Thursday afternoon and one at the School for Mothers on Monday afternoon.
These classes fulfil a most useful purpose, as many young girls in Shoreditch
work in factories when they leave school and are ignorant of needlecraft when
they marry.
