the commissioner general of immigra-
tion says: Where and for what object
more worthy can the United States do
better service than in calling the at
tention of employers of labor in every
industry to the fact that If they will
but make known their wants for help.
the assistance of the government and
the entire machinery in this branch of
the same throughout the country are at
their disposal?"
In administering this system 1t is the
object of the division of information for
women and girls to give special atten-
tion to the requests of woman wage
earners for work, and every EFFORT
made to meet the demand for female
help in farming and rural communities
as well as in cities. To extend every
possible assistance to girls and young
women to enable them to make suitable
vocational selections, with a view to
proper vocational training in order to
guide them in desirable industry and
avoidance of occupations and places
where evil conditions exist.
The bureau of immigration wishes
through this division to make bile
to all in the most remote country dis

portunities to labor in suitable voca-

other conditions prevailing in the va
rious industries. as a guide to useful
employment and advancement as well
as protection against explorations and
misdirection.
In outlining the plan for this service
to women and girls Mr.. Cahinetti says
The cooperation of employers should
be invited in developing a plan for a
clearing house of information with ref
erence to employment: likewise the aid
and assistance of women and other Or
ganiZations should be sought by corre-
spondence and in such other ways as
may be indicated in instructions"
1t is not the wish of the government
to interfere or oppose any legitimate
public or private employment agency
but to cooperate with them whenever
it is for the best interest of those con-
cerned to do so.

While Secretary Wilson is the guild

it is to the missioner general of
immigra ton. Anthony Caminetti, that
he looks for the working out along
practical lines of the betterment of
women and girls through the organ
ization of a women and girls division
for vocational training and all prob
lens which affect them.
Under the bureau of immigration
there is a division of information,
where one can find out almost any
thing pertaining to labor. from the ad-
dress of a French governess seeking
situation to a gang of laborers to build
a railroad in Alaska. This division of
informatio is unlimited in it's scope,
and its ramif1cations penetrate to every
part of the world. seeking not only in
formation, but asking help for the do
mestic and alien laborer and the un-
fortunate of all lands seeking an asy-
lum within our gates.
1t is to this division that Secretary
Wilson and Mr.. Caminetti have plan
to add a division, to be known as the
women and girls division of the
United States employment service. the
purpose of which is to supply employ
ment for women and girls over the age
of sixteen and direct them along the
line of vocational training.
Mr.. Caminetti believes that vocation

vocational education in both sexes,

Work to promote health standards
was one of the most important features
of the leagues program, though this
was not done entirely through the COM

through lectures on various health
phases
The league went further in it's ef-
forts. however. Each school within IT'S
jurisdiction was examined with sani-
tary and hygenic conditions particular
ly in view Numerous recommendations
for improvement were made.
In addition to this efforts were made
to improve the physical well-being of
the children directly. Whenever a
child with adenoids, defective teeth or
sight or other ailment was wound steps
were taken to inform the parent In
order that the child might receive prop
er medical treatment.
1t is planned to create even wider in

league hopes to be able to use some
system whereby it may be determined
with a fair degree of certainty just
how much benefit individuals in the
gymnasium have received.
Fullest cooperation of parents is to
be sought in this work. In many of the
cases which the league reported to
parents this year steps were taken i'm
mediately to correct the defects.
Oficers of the league intend to make
community work in their jurisdiction

and stronger next season than ever be-

averaged about 400 students, including
adults and children in regular classes.
Work was carried on with an earnest

officers to look forward to the next year

AS the work progressed increasing

the Wilson Normal School Community

The Post Office Department is assist
ing in a most helpful way by allowing
the thousands of post offices scattered
over the country. and more especially
those in rural communities, to consti-
tute themselves kind of social center
for talking over questions of employ
ment and helping to choose suitable
vocations for both men and women.
The Postmaster General has accorded
the Department Of Labor the privilege
of placing in each post office the blanks
used in the employment system of the
bureau whereon laborers and employ
ers can make known their wants. This
has proved a most efficacious method
for reaching people in out-of-the-w
places. for since Cyrus, King Of Persia
established post offices $50 Be, and
Benjamin Franklin established them in
America in the middle of the eighteenth
century, they have in rural communi-
ties acted as depot for the distribu-
tion of news and the discussion of
questions of public interest.
Postmasters are instructed by the
Postmaster General to transmit to the
place directed all blanks filled out by
applicants for employment or help, and
mailed at their respective offices. Also.
permission has been given to display in
each post office a sign or poster calling
the attention of the public to the new
service.
1t has been found that this use of the
Offices does not interfere in any way
with the duties of the incumbent, for
mails are not 50 frequent that this work
cannot be performed in between them.

1t is the glaring Inconsistency OF all
this that Mr.. Caminetti wishes to cor
rect by the new plan for limiting the

further similar plans for boys, that
both may receive the benefits toward
which the present educational laws for
children are being enforced.

means not to have chance, except the
chance one sweats for, because at the
age of nine years he began to assume

awhile and going to school when he
got a bit ahead. The problems of his

then: and leisure moments were spent
in thinking them over and wondering
if there were any way to solve them.

1t is not alone to the native women
and girls of the United States that Uncle
Sam must act as official chaperon. but to
the stranger within the gates. For about
twelve years prior to 1914 the United
States drew an average of nearly mil
lion immigrants annually. In 1914 there
were 1,21s,4S0, and in 1915 326,7OO. The
handling of cases of aliens found unlaw-
fully within the country is delicate and
difficult task.
The commissioner general of lmmi-
grafton in a recent report said: Con
ditions abroad have been such that it
was impracticable, without inf1icting
hardship upon the aliens and submit
ting them to dangers, to deport many
of those found here in violation OF the
law. While these aliens are likely to
become public charges here, the men
