THE GIRL QUESTION.

No study could be more fruitful
than that of the home from which
the girl comes. the wages OF the
father, the breakdown of authority
because parents are no longer able
to order the goings and comings of
the girl WHO adds to the scanty
earnings. the unsuperyised hours of
leisure in the pleasure resorts with
free drinking and uHrnly dancing,
the Immense stimulus of modern ex-
citement in its myriad forms of love
scenes on films, of racy vaudeville.
of lurid drama. The mighty urge
toward freedom Of all present ten
dency, the casting off of authority,
the leap into the stream of life be-
fore naturity-these swift currents
have seized the unframed youth Of
our generation, Can anything short
of strong adult nature, officially
reinforced, Withstand the pressure
OF modern life, where change and
hurry have been substituted for or
derly development inside protected
areas?
Girls, before they are cast adrift
in industrial swirl, need the build
ing up OF moral reserve. What va
que intuition can be pitted against
the pleasant supper and the dance?
What undeyeloped resource can be
summoned against present tempta-
ton?
There is needed the reserve Of pa
tient years of belief in a moral or

love. The modern girl is widely
