Relation Of Women to the World and he
declared In conclusion that the Camp Fire
Girls As an organization help ht girls Tor
their relation with the world.
Dr. Gulick said in part:
We are significant in the world mainly by
the extent TO which we, as individuals ana
as groups, differ from each other. My
special place in the world is due 10 my dii-
terences from, rather than 70 my nkenesses

sure to have the suffrage as the tide is To
rise, not because she is as wise, as strong'
as skilful as man II, nor because she, IKE

reason of likeness or duplication al All put
because she is different, because she can
do what he cannot. because the world needs
her peculiar AMI special abilities. 1T is De-
cause she Is different, because shese dlt-
tarences are fundamental world needs, that
il Is necessary that she shall bring these
differences 10 the service OF the World.
This fact, whether woman wants II or no.

We insist that she must speak, but Pc

The deepest need Of woman is the need

and spiritual relations which in the old
DAYS created the home and which to-day
are changing the man-made work-house
into a place adequate to the glorious future

The Camp Fire Girls Is an organization
which aims to bring the power OF organiza-
ton and the charm Of romance again INTO
the humble acts and needs Of daily lie.
It is a deliberate attempt TO help meet
the new and splendid social world which
IS before us.
