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. —The Agnostic, Agnes Scott College.

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. , VARIED Y.

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.
