Many col- iegt' newspapers ha\e expressed the attitudes of student bodies through editorials which usually carry a gen uine feeling of optimism. In some placcs schools have had to cut down expenses but in nc stance has any school had to lower its high standard of education.

The only thing wrong is that Patsy is no sician. As far as anyone knows, the nearest she e ver came to it was ling patiently in the room while her ’fraidy cat room-mate labored. And in S16! The whole of the room is decorated by pennants of boys’ schools. Oh, they couldn’t be boy crazy, now could they? Why haven’t I seen the girls who havf the great out-of-doors spread ovei their walls out communing with na ture? Or s that what Mary Nelson does in the living room of Alice Cle- well almost eve."y night? And why hasn’t Annie Shuford gotten tall looking at the Grecian beauty por trayed in ncedj'e point? ‘ Dor Grace and Mary! They have the water craze. I wonder if they get their six—or is it eight—glasses of water every day, poor dears. Then, too, there’s the room of the beauties—one blonde and one bru- ntte- Do you suppose they have learned “to say that firm, unconquer able no” advised by J. P. McEvoy" Iri the end I suppose I’ll have to admit the Sniors was right—mos third floor must be the exeeptio the rule! Because, you see, in room we have the “Age of Inno- THE WOMAN’S CAREER (Co-ed Editorial) The Southern Woman’s Education al alliance, which recently held its annual conference in New York City, had a sits subject of discussion thi.s year the outlook for women in vari ous occupations. In this day of un employment, the question of oppor tunities for women should be of in terest to the college girl planning tc The report of the conference in cludes the supply, demand, and out look in selected careers, ranging from art to social work. Besides chese surveys, there are included tides on placement trends in college appointment bureaus and attitudes making for tile economic success ol A careful organization of commit- tets to handle an investigation into the professions for women resulted in thorough and detailed reports. Each branch of the professions in question was thoroughly investigated by women closely connected with it. The report as a whole was discour aging because it only served to em phasize the scarcity of opportunity at the present time. But it presents to the college girl valuable sugges tions as to preparation for her choser line of work. Certain professions, more than others, have been affected by the de pression. Teaching, we may note, leads the list. While it was “over crowded before the depression, it it now desperately so for the beginner-” Academic subjects are least neded, and commercial subjects, home eco nomics, and physical education, more. Apj)rentice teaching is greatly in creasing. The outlook for library work is poor. Opportunities i have dropped fifty per cent from those of last year. A college ea is almost a necessity for this work, and there is scmie hope in the crease ,of the use of public librarie.s, which has increased greatly in past decade. But still the outlook is distinctly poor. Journalism offers little opportunity for women, and there is an oversupply of nurst the nursing profession. 'Phere are stil opportunities for women in other fields,, however. Art, dentistry, engineering, health woi-k, ivork, , of- offer places to the college woi fice work, religious and social work Interesting to note, however, is decline of places in certain branches of these ])rofessions. In art the job of fashion artist is practically existent for the beginner, so i crowded is the field. But we find that eighty per cent more trained stylists could be employed. Lilian Gilbrcth, expert in engineer ing, mentions the demand for women in engineering fields which they h: helped to develop. In medicine there is little chance for the genral prac tioneer, but there are few restrictions of opportunity for w'omen who have the training necessary for public health work. Although music as profession has 'suffe|red gi^eatly still offers a field for women. The teaching of it, particularly in vate schools, has increased. In busi ness there are not many opportunities for women to become executives, but there is still a dmand for the “well- trained secretary of the college type.” But the college girls must remember that she is “competing with the superior girl from a secon dary school,” and that the fact that she is a college graduate “will not help her in advancement if .she is not a competent and adaptable worker.” Religious work includes thirty dif ferent v'ocations, and there are still openings in social work, but rarely for the beginner. Professional work ers and case workers “with adquate qualifications are still in demand,” but it may be noted that the salaries ) way proportionate to the qual ifications demanded in such workers. There are, therefore, jobs to be had. But there is no longer a place for a woman who is a college gradu ate. The fact that she is a collegf graduate will aid her later in her profession, but vocational training ii almost a requisite for any success That is the first conclusion- 'I'hi second is that the girl graduating from college must consider the dif ferent phases of a profession. The day when “office work” or “busi- ;ss’ were sj'nonomous with “stenoj ,phy” has passed away. There ai other positions to be filled. It is i .; out of the way ]>rofessions thi hope of today’s graduate lies. Dr. E. 11.
