WORK
FOR YOUNG GIRLS

"The chief protection Of the girl in
time must come from the girl
herself" said Miss Maud E. Miner, i'm
a recent interview, land must spring
from the girls realization Of her
the great struggle"
Miss Miner is chairman Of the
committee on protective work for
girls, which under the commission on
training" camp activities, has already
done much to safeguard the girl in
al parts OF the country.
when the individual girl in any
community can be brought to see her
own work in wal time. whether it be
the making of munitions, clerking or
h~ousework, in the same heroic light
in which she views the work Of the
mar in uniform, the. problem of the
protection Of that girl will be solved"
Miss Miner commended the won1-
ms building, recently opened in San
Antonio, Texas, as an example Of q
detention home for girls with no out
ward suggestion OF the purpose for
which it is intended. Tho raj service
board made an appropriation for the
maintenance OF this building. In San
Antonio a Mexican woman has a home
in the Mexican quarter and does
protective work with the Mexican
girls. A colored trained nurse works
with. the colored Eirls$in that city,

WOMEN ARE

That the American people have ell

College club.

child Of the educated and intelligent

"But the woman Of this class is just
as much in need OF instruction in thu

fortunate class. There should be 4

and it L. such women as the members
OF our club whom I expect to stand
