purposes. They have become cognizant
of the social needs of the day. and this
has made the demand upon them very i'm
perative. This fact overcomes the preju-
dice of asking for money when brought
side by side with humanitys needs. The
Young Womens Christian association, il
seems to me. covers the broadcast field
for women of any organization in the
world.
The average girl who must make her
own living enters the business world at
16 years of age. This is the most critical
period of her life. 1t is the psychological
moment in life when she loses her poise.
1t is that period between childish inno-
cence when she is under control of her
mother and that of responsible woman
hood. It is not the girls fault that she
has arrived at this time of life. At this
period proper social life means most to
the girl and the first person who is pleas
ant to her is the person who wins her..
Miss McElroy told of a girl on the
western coast who came up against one
of lifes serious problems, which she did
not know how to handle. So she told one
of her girl friends about it and asked her
what she would do in her place. The girl
friend told her to go straight to the
Young Woman's Christian association to a
certain secretary, whose love for girls
was widely known, and to tell her hex
difficulty, saying that is where they care
for girls.
Miss McElroy says that the younger
girl is the sooner she expects to be mar
ried, and for this reason she sees no me-
cessity for any special training, as her
work is only a stepping stone to this
great event in life Consequently. she Is
unframed and must go into the factory
or do some kind of unskilled labor. For
this reason the value of the needle
classes or any class which trains the finer
perceptions and brings into play the more
delicate muscles is very essential The
perceptions become dulled, just as the
muscles not used become inactive. and
the Young Womens Christian associa-
ton offers to the business girl oppor-
tunities that no other organization does.
