CHAPTER VII
15/37

All girls over ten years of age may, in addition, attend at one workshop of skilled labor, or of technical industry, or of art.

Admission for three months' probation.
"All boys over ten years of age must attend at one workshop of domestic crafts, and at one workshop of skilled labor, or of technical industry, or of art.

A boy may choose, with his parents' consent, his school of labor, or technical industry or art, but the directors reserve the right to transfer him to a more suitable department, if necessary, after a three months' probation.

"Schools of mental culture are free to all individuals over fourteen years of age.
