How the Girls League of
Horace Mann High Has
Benefited It's Members

are two big money raising events All
sorts of original ways OF raising money
are thought out by the girls and at the
last fair $4,000 was raised in two and
half hours. This was their record
breaker.
Then a meeting is held to decide upon
what Is to be done with the money. Rep
resentatives Of philanthropic and charit-
able institutions are Invited to speak be-
fore the league and the girls themselves
go out and find where help Is needed.
Then a meeting of the whole league is
called and the representative from each
chapter sponsors the cause most favored
by her chapter. The one able to plead
her cause the best will probably get the
most votes when votes are called later
as to how the money is to be spent.
Last year $50 each was sent to Bel
gium, France, Italy and Armenia. This
year the Allied Drive received $4,000
for the league. and the proceeds Of an
operetta, $500. were sent to France.
II any money Is left over at the end
Of the year the league at large meets
and votes upon its disposal At this
time each chapter leader makes a report
OF the whole years work and makes a
plea for assistance for the charity her
chapter most favors.
The food for France fund, con-
tributed to by both grammar and high
school, Is taken charge OF by the league
also.
Recently Mr.. Pearson, the principal OF
the school, spoke before the league and
asked 1t to consider the community
playground OF the neighborhood. which
is sponsored by the Parents Association
Of the school and which needs money to
pay rent, put the grounds in order and
furnish directors for supervised play for
the children.
The treasurer OF the league is cashier
of the Exchange Bank Of the school and
an average Of 81 1900 passes through her
hands yearly and must be accounted for
to the penny.
Do you think a girl will be weak In
her mathematics in or out OF school
after year or more OF this training?
Is she not coming in actual contact with
life as one finds II outside Of school life
and forging the link that connects the
two-the link that has so far been mis-
sing in our American education?
The following Is a list of disburse-
ments of the league for one year taken
at random: Charity organizations fifth
year,, $40; for French soldier. SIC;
for orphan boy, from 100 neediest
Fourth year,, $50; French day nursery
Sixth year,, $50: home service work of

FIRST year,. $50; kitchen trailer A. r.
c.. $500; Hudson Guild (third year,.
$50.
Miss C. w. Hotchkiss, the faculty
member Of the league. is an ideal ad-
wiser for the girls--a kindly woman, full
Of love and sympathy for the girls and
plainly interested In all that interests
them.

Conference at Wheaton College on
Vocational Opportunities for Women

THE first session OF the Conference
on Vocational Opportunities for
Women, at Wheaton College,
Norton, Mass. under the auspices Of the
Bureau of Vocational Opportunities, Of
which Doris NJ. Townsend. 20. of Ban
gor, Me-. is director. came Friday after
noon. Tho chairman at this opening
session was allegro Maynard OF Provi-
dence. r. l.. the president of the Student
Government Association.
In a brief Introductory address Presi-
dent Samuel v. Cole emphasized the
fact that we cannot isolate ourselves
education Is a tool, not an end In itself.
and vocation should be chosen not
simply as a means OF gaining a liveli-
hood but with view to the opportuni-
ties for service 1t presents. President
Cole warned against too exclusive and
early specialization, as broad founda-
ton is needed for every profession.
The subject of illustrating was pre-
scented by Mrs Elizabeth Shipper Green
Elliott, an illustrator on the stan OF
Hdrpers Magazine and one of the lead
ing women in her profession. She spoke
of illustrating as a desirable calling for
women, as 1t can be carried on in ones
own home, and stated the advantages Of
being an all round illustrator and not
becoming a specialist. Tho field OF ad-
yertising affords a good opening for be-
ginners for in the business world one
meets many kinds o6.Ssople. and In or
der to be good illustrator one must
not only be able to draw well but give
= true picture OF life.
Before the next address Gladys E.
Nn ~ tlA nha M
leader. led the students in song to the
conference speakers which she herself
wrote for the occasion. Miss Monte
upper Of the firm of Upper 4 Good
rich, In Boston, spoke on interior deco
rating, which, she said, is becoming
more and more a field for women. Now
there are in New York more women than
men in the profession, whereas only a
year ago the men predominated. She
warned against following fads and fash
IONS and said that one should aim to
make homes. not museums. Simplicity,
she said, il the height Of art. 1t is far
better to have too little than too much.
At the evening session the chairman
was Gladys T. Jewett OF Dorchester,
tho president of the Y. w. c. A. The
first speaker was one whom all were glad
