PHOENIX GIRL WILL
 TRAIN FUR SPECIAL
 WORK IN '. M. |. A.

Leaving this evening for New York, Miss Pat Davidson will enter the pa tional training school of the Young Womens Christian Association in that city on September 10. She will special7 jZe in industrial work and will com plete the course in June. j
 Miss Davidson left here early in the summer to become an assistant secre- tary in San Francisco. Appreciating the big field of endeavor of the Y. when in attendance at the Pacific coast conference. she determined to fit herself for the work
 "I realized then that it required training to handle the problems of to- day." she said in discussing her plans. The best work was being done by those who had had training supple mented by practical experience. l made up my mind then I would try to fit myself for a general secretary, specializing on social welfare work"
 Miss Davidson is particularly inter- ested in bettering conditions for the working girl, and the course she con- templates deais largely with this prob lem Promoting clubs is a feature of the course, and recreation, courses of study. educational matters also are branches of the study to be undertaken by the Phoenix girl It will not be en- tirely new to Miss Davidson. who, as organizer and president of the Busi- ness Girls Club in this city, touched upon the work she will take up on a broader scale in the east
 At present the Y is devoting it's time and funds to war work. The tea house, established by the association at Plattsburg. was such a pronounced success, says Miss Davidson, that a similar recreation station is to be con- structed at American Lake.
 Miss Davidson received a warm wei come when she arrived in Phoenix on Monday and her departure tonight will be a matter of general regret despite the fact that her friends are delighted at her opportunity for study along her chosen line. She has been an active Y worker since the organization of the local association and has carried her acts of goodness beyond the confines of club and association.

FULL ATTENDANCE
 AT SCHOOLS URGED
 DURING WAR CRISIS

Emphasizing efforts in the past to cooperate with the schools in school attendance campaigns, the Parent Teacher Associations of this city are in the movement instituted by the bu-
 reau of education A special appeal to
 club women in the United States has
 been issued by the United States com
 missioner of education, Dr. P. P, ClaX-
 ton, urging that the influence of the
 organizations they represent be given
 to the maintenance of the schools of
 the nation in their full efficiency dur
 ing the present crisis.
 Mrs. F. A. Beane, member of the
 executive board of the Arizona Con-
 gress of Mothers, who has made
 close study of the question of school
 attendance, stated yesterday that the
 Congress already had held a confer
 ence with John D. Loper, city superin-
 tendent of schools, on the subject. She
 said that the juvenile delinquency de-
 partment of the schools kept in close
 touch with the boys and girls who
 failed to answer to the roll call. It is
 with this department that the Parent
 Teacher Associations, affiliated with
 the Congress of Mothers, has co-oper- ated during the past few years. The importance of the work, Mrs.
 Beane believes, is greater than ever
 this year. For this reason special at
 tention will be given it by the different associations working through the de- partment, the teacher and the home. She agrees in every particular with Dr. Claxton who says:
 Everywhere there seems to be fear lest our schools of all kinds and grades, and especially the public schools. will suffer this year because of conditions growing out of our en- trance into the war. On the other hand, both for tlfe present defense and for the future welfare of our country, as well as for the individual benefit of the children, it is of the greatest inn portance that the schools shall be maintained in their full efficiency, both as to standards of work and at tendance of children.
 While the war continues there will be many unusual temptations to many kinds of juvenile delinquencies. Prompt and regular attendance at school and proper employment during out-of- school hours will be the children's sur est protection against such tempta- tionS.
 "When the boys and girls now of school age have reached manhood and womanhood there will be need for a higher standard of intelligence, skill, and wisdom for the work of life and for the duties and responsibilities of citizenship than we have ever yet at tained. Our schools must now be sus- tained and improved as to enable them better to prepare our boys and girls

I have taken up this question particularly with several members of the judiciary committee and they all agree that to draft men for labor would certainly be involuntar'- servitude, if not slavery and therefore a violation of the thr- | teenth amendment to the constitution of the United States"
