BUSINESS WOMEN
BEAN FOR MEETING
The mid year meeting of the execu
tive board of the North Carolina Fed
eration of Business and- Professional
Women’s Clubs will be held in Raleigh,
Saturday, November 24, at the Yarbor
ough hotel. With this board the state
council, composed of a councillor from
eaclr-Jocal club,, will sit. There are 14
active clubs in North Carolina—Ashe
ville, Burlington, Charlotte, Durham,
Fayetteville, Goldsboro, Greensboro,
Henderson, Hickory, Raleigh, States
ville, Wilmington, Wilson- and Win
ston-Salem —and Miss Riddick, the
president, is receiving very encourag
ing response from these clubs as to
having, a representative to attend.
Much active work is being carried on
by these clubs, both in the way of pro
moting the interests of women in the
business and professional world, en
couraging co-operation among women,
and also co-operation with all civic or
ganizations.
The educational program, of having
every girl finish the high school course
before taking a business course is be
ing carried out throughout the state, a
loan fund having been established by
each club, and this fund Is being used
by girls who are anxious for promotion
in the various vocations and profes
sions. This year the plan of adopting
a rural school has been added to the
program—the club to advise with and
befriend the girl who comes to the
city from the rural schools. -Eaah club
is also contributing to the Lena Lake
Forrest scholarship fund, this being a
fund to help business women wishing
to take some college work and prepare
themselves for a larger field in the
business world. Women are now a part
of the business world, and the purpose
of the organization is to insist that the
business women have an eye trained to
see problems and the mind trained to
handle them, and to teach them to do
the common things of life uncommonly
well. '
The question of personal research
work will be taken up at the board
meeting, and it is hoped that plans may
be laid for accomplishing something
along this line during the year. Atoo
the plans for organization will be quite
an important feature, as every effort
is being made to have a elub in every
town in order that the business women
may co-operate in every way.
The Raleigh Business and Profes
sional Women’s Club will serve as
hostesses to the visitors.
