JOURNALISM DISCUSSED
AS A VOCATION
(Continued from Page One.)
“Fourth Estate” indicates that they
are fast realizing the worth of
newspaper work as a profession.
Today women work in almost ev-
eiy department of the paper. A
large number begin as reporters and
work their way up to higher depart
ments. It is best to enter the pro
fession through this class, for the
reporter who possesses that quality
called the “nose for news,” who has
an untiring energy, and who com
bines with these essentials the
ability to write should have an ex
cellent chance to succeed.
There are also the copy^writers
who put material turned in into
shape for publication. Then there
are the feature writers who do
work on special subjects and for
special departments, as the social,
financial, and sporting pages. Wom
en make especially good society re
porters and literary and music crit
ics. Editorial positions are more
limited in number, but progressive
newspapers are always on the look
out for reporters who show real edi
torial sense—the ability to interpret
and elevate news and to present it
effectively to the public.
Too many would-be journalists
seek the crowded field of city jour
nalism. Many authorities advocate
apprenticeship with a small town
newspaper. In the past few years
quite a few women have taken over
small town papers and, with an un
derstanding of the community have
made successes.
Many writers are classified as
free lance journalists. They are not
salaried workers on the staff of am,
one paper but sell their work per
column or per hundred words to pa
pers and to syndicates. The writ
er who has the knack of feature
writing often makes a great deal
from her work.
Some organized preparation is
necessary before entering journal
ism. The larger universities have
established excellent schools of
journalism offering four-year cours
es. Probably the best known and
most popular is the Pulitzer School
of journalism of Columbia Univers
ity. This school offers a course cov
ering the last two years of the un
dergraduate curriculum, and admits
graduates of other colleges to its
second year, if they have haj work
equivalent to the first. It p.-vides
three traveling foreign scholarships
to its graduates.

EINSTEINS THEORY OF
RELATIVITY DISCUSSED

;ng the three dimension’s line, plane
and spac6j and discussed the fourth
dimension of moving space which en
ters into the theory of relativity. The
members of -,the club became very
contemplative when he explained
how time and space are not absolute,
but relative quantities, which may
even disappear if the velocity is
very great. Weight on the other
hand increases infinitely with in
crease in velocity. I^ight, shape and
matter are dealt with in Einstein’s
theory. Qualities, of these three are
not absolute but relative as for ex- I
ample—long, high, heavy. Mr. Cur-
lee raised doubt in the minds of the ;
club members when he explained
how parallel lines may meet in space.
Many things in this theory of rela
tivity have to.be taken on faith. ,

any length of time during the seven-
hour day; but, unfortunately, the
number of members is limited. Y.
W. C. A. work is character building
—not a relief association, so only
workers sent from employment agen
cies are accepted. The type of work
ers are those who have been put out
of work, not those who frequent wel
fare offices. This aid affects the
lives and characters of these work
ers and' niakes them happier and
better workers.
The “Community Chest” last year
gave money for remodeling the build
ing and the remainder was used to fix
the basement space as an emergency
waiting room. Mrs. Bahnson spoke
then of the support given the Y.
W. C. A. by other.companies as
Hanes’ Mills, Fletcher Brothers and
the silk” mills.
The pay is 20- an hour, a wage
suggested by the' employment bu
reau. The Y. W. C. A. stands for
a living wage, but emergency re
quires this small amount, and this
does keep body and soul together
and keeps up the morale of the
women.
