"The Big Job"
You must see your vocation as a
big job and take it for granted that
YOU are going to make bowling sue
cess of it, regardless of the time you
spend pursuing It," was the message
brought by Miss Florence M. Hall, vo-
cational director from Spokane, in her
address, Factors Governing a Choice
of a Vocation" Miss Hall is the prfn-
cipal speaker for the conference.
Miss Hall said the object of the con-
gress was to give girls an idea how to
judge a vocation in it's relation to them
and in their relation to it, She out
lined several questions they Should ask
themselves in order to discover their
aptitude for certain vocations. Abil-
ity, health, enthusiasm, remuneration
and advancement in profession are
some of the dominant factors.
However, merely considering these
factors, will not necessarily mean sue
cess, according to Miss Hall. A young
woman must pursue her vocation fol
the sake of humanity and for the love
of action in a field in which she has
found herself to be a real success.
