ING number Of women going into news
.onor work in the smaller cities of the |
Union. The daily papers in many of
,hoso smaller cities have really more
ronuine originality and scope than the
aroot many blanketed sheets, for all
tho,r fuss and feathers. On the jour-
mol of the small inland city there is
moro Americanism of sentiment, con-
spouently less prejudice against wo-
mems occupying responsible places,
than can be found in centers Ike New
York and Chicago. Aspiring young
women begin to find this out, and are
knocking at the door Of journalism in
towns where it will be opened to them.
II is pleasing, too, to note that many
of these young women are college grad
uotes trained to write good English
ond TO use their brains to think. To
those who serve their apprenticeship
faithfully in the country towns, if later
they desire to hazard their fortunes in
one of the great cities, the way will
onen. Portraits and sketches Of the

a Young lady-Miss Mary Lee-is city
editor of daily paper. She first duly
worked her time as general reporter,
which is the natural road to newspaper
promotion. Miss Lee watches every
item of her local department till the
paper goes to press at 2 in the morning.
Many a time it is necessary for her to
90 out at night and get a hurried news
story, which the nervy, brainy young
woman does without the least hesita-
ton and in perfect security.
A summer woods camp for girls has
been suggested. where they may live in
freedom and enjoy physical sports at
will. Yes, but they will have a lot
more fun to take fathers and brothers
aong-their own brothers, also some
other girls brothers.
