ARE YOU READY?
If you wish to be of some service to
your community or your government
with the degree of efficiency that the
world demands and have not had the
proper training, tSe place to go is to
Blue Ridge, where the summer con
ferences of the Y. W. C. A. is held.
The time is July 19-29 and delegates
are expected to attend from all the'
states within the South Atlantic field.
The board for two in a room for the
full time will be $15; for one in a room
$20. The summons to leadership
which heretofore was undreamed of
Is so imperative thatthe call seems
a challenge from the suffering world
for its young womanhood as well as
its young manhood, to prepare to face
the issues and to be ready, trained for
the things that must be done. The
national board of the Y. W. C. A. has
put within the reach of all the oppor-l
tunity to obtain training along the
lines needed by those who desire to
engage in war work, and to equip for
those positions now open to young
women for which the demand Ib great
er than the supply.
The mornings will be given over to
study, the afternoons for recreation,
and the evenings for high class enter
tainments which are to be instructive.
There is no place where more value
can be received for the outlay than
at Blue Ridge. Beside the delightful
climate and -health-giving air, the
course offered is well worth
amount charged. Will you go?
