Divorcees’ School Planned By Judge New Orleans —(U.R) —A school for divorcees, to be maintained by ex-hus-bands, may he the outgrowth of a plan recently outlined hete by Juvenile Couit Judge J. H. Nix. The judge plans to educate alimony collectors and prepare them to earn I their own livelihood and thus relieve their former spouses of the troublesome habit of making weekly or monthly remittances. Judge Nix, has already started his plans working, hut he hopes to elaborate on them and extend his educational idea as fast as possible. "Whenever we find it advisable for a wife, who has no children, and who is able bodied, to go to work," he said, "we get the husband to give her enough money to go to school to learn some profession. Some wives learn to I be typists, some stenographers and some o’hers trades. When they start ■ to earning money, then, of course, the alimony payments by the husband stops. It’s a good idea l believe and has worked out all right." There is nothing compulsory about Judge Nix's plan and if a wife chooses to keep hubby paying and paying that's privilege.
