The Young Womens Christian Association occupiesRoom 39, 184 Dearborn Street, and devotes itself to helping inevery way the young workingwomen of the city. Ladies visitingthe city are welcome at the (118) INSTITUTIONS. It is greatly to the credit of Chicago, the distinguishing char-acteristic of which has been said to be the pursuit of wealth withan energy and a singleness of purpose almost unexampled, to havemade the splendid provision it has for the education of the hundred and fifty-three public, primary, grammar, and highschools; fifteen colleges of law, medicine, and theology; half-a-dozen academies of art and science, and two universities are notthe marks of a community wholly given up to the acquisition ofwealth. The foundations of this magnificent educational system arelaid in the public schools of the city, which, controlled by a boardof education consisting of fifteen members, enjoying the oversightof an active and scholarly superintendent, and conducted by astaff of devoted teachers, are maintained in the highest state ofefficiency.
