! have IN nind one young lady who
with q small capital to start on, worked
her way through the FIRST three years
Of her college course BY assisting IN the
girls dining hall. tutorine an hour each
evening. and teaching back ward pupils
during summer vacation. At the end
Of the third year, she was so worn out
that the summer teaching had to be
abandoned. and she was face to face
with the fact that Of herself she would
not be able TO return to college IN the
fall
But timely assistance in the shape of
loan fund was available. she gradu-
sted, specializing in English and mathe-
matics, and is nov successfully filing q
college position in the state of Wash
ngton.
Another girl graduate Of one Of our
best high schools aud born kinder
gartener, accepted a position as a clerk
in drug store, saved enough money to
enter normal by working for her board
the first year. The next summer she
was given her old place in the drug
store but was unable after meeting cur
rent expenses to see her way through
but part of her senior year She applied
for and received a loan, and is consid-
cred one of the best kindergarten
teachers in Pueblo.
One girl was loaned money enou h to
take her through one year at normal
the next year she took school in
coal camp, made good, organized a
night school which was great success,
paid back her entire Indebtedness to the
went back to the normal
earned her masters degree, and is a
successful high school teacher.
Another girl worked her way through
the two years of normal, doing com
mercial tutoring also, the first year
asked for loan to meet the extra ex-
pense incident to commencement, was
president and valedictorian of her class,
and is now making an enviable record
as teacher in her home graded school
while doirg extension work with the
state university.
Two other girls worked their way
through the six years of high school and
normal. Both received good positions
when they graduated One specialized
in household science and has introduced
it into her school, to the great edifica-
tion of a country district torn by petty
and after teaching but two
months paid back her entire loan of $50.
Two Colorado loan fund girls are this
year receiving salaries of $500 each,
one in Ration, N. M. and one in Los
Angeles. One of our girls is teacher
of domestic science in Portland, Oregon,
and one has the distinction of being
president of a state Federation of Wo-
mems clubs.
All this is by way of telling you that
while NOT all of the cases mentioned are
c. S. N. S. girls, many of them are, and
the record shows that they are all MAX
ing good, and at the head of things.
Now ! am going to tell you something
of the personnel of girls we are pledged
to help next year
No. l wishes loan to finish her work
She has literally plowed her way up to
this point and those recommending her
say "We have known her since she was
child and believe she is the sort of
girl that should be helped:
No. 2 asks for a reservation in
monthly payments of $50 for summer
school work in music and to complete
her training school work in 1916, and so
be equipped to enter the teaching pro-
fession as a special teacher of music. or
if q position of that sort does not
present itself she will be ready to ac-
cept any other that does. President
Kelley said in speaking of this girl,
