comes from the inability to utilize the
experiences they get outside the school
In any complete and free way within
the school itself: while on the other
hand. they are unable to apply in
daily life what they are learning at
school. In domestic science the girls
are able to do both of these. Again.
In the laboratory work, there is OPP
portunity for tanning pupils in respon-

constant aim is to develop initiative

Y. w. c. A. PROVIDE
SERVICE CENTERS
IN 10 LARGE CITIES

Women's Industrial Service Centers
are being established by the Young
Womens Christian Association in ten
of the larger cities of the United
States in order to demonstrate the best
way of meeting the needs of the wom-
an who earns her own living, particu-
larry when her work takes her into
a strange city.
Such centers have been started in
Richmond, Va, and in New Orleans.
Others will be opened soon in Cincin-
natl, Minneapolis and Kansas City, ac-
cording to Miss Gertrude Murrell. who
leaves New York shortly to establish
work in the last two cities. The five
other cities which are to have these
Industrial demonstration centers" are
yet to be determined upon.
The plan, according to Miss Murrell.
Is to secure a building in the heart of
the industrial district OF the city
where club on the order of the in
dustrial war service centers, started by
the Y. w. C. A. in factories during
wartime. will be opened.
The house is to be in a section
where the girl Is and be where she
needs 1t. There will be no set pro-
gram Of work. II the girls who go
to the club want educational classes.
such work will be started on their re-
quest. If they do not. they can use the
center just Tor recreation and for good
times. II q cafeteria IL needed one
will be started. The center Is to pro-
vide whatever the girls themselves
In each community want.
The center. while promoted and
supervised through the national indus
trial committee. will be under the di-
rection of local committee which will
be made up Of women living In the
community and Of Industrial workers
tor whom the club is started and will
be managed on broad, democratic prin-
ciples.
There viii be no religious restric-
tIons or qualifications nor will mem
bershil in the Y. w. c. A. be compul-
sary. Club members may join the
association il they desire. but the club
il open to all women industrial work
ers. The girls will assess dues when
small clubs are formed among the
large membership for the purpose of
studying definite subjects or pursuing
specified kinds of recreation such as
swimming, hiking. basketball or other

When they had finished McKelly's
big rattlesnake hat was gone. There

that "a woman at the next table had
been heard to remark:
Il would like to have that hat over

McKelly bought brand new hat,
called "beanny," and went back to
Kelcyville without the cracksmen.
