EXPLAIN PURPOSES
OF BIG SISTERS"
Mrs. Kirkpatrick Points Out
Need for Organization
in Birmingham

The Big Sister movement having been
successfully launched is naturally one
of the most interesting topics at the
present time, according to Mrs. J. D.
kirkpatrick, chairman of the member
ship drive, and many questions are be-
ing asked by those interested in the
movement regarding its object and
scope.
Among them are the following: "why
are you having it?" what kinds of
girls are you having it for?" will
credentials be required and will you
have nice, lovable woman in the
house to be mother to the girls?" and
last but not least Where will the
money come from to operate the homer"
THE reason for having the home is
one that will appeal to every man and
woman with heart" stated Mrs. Kirk
patrick, for there are about 5000 young
women employed in the city. Some have
their homes to go to when their work
is done, some are able to get into nice
comfortable boarding houses, while
some are fortunate enough to be taken

in by the Young womens Christian
association, but what of the others?
those whose weekly earnings are in
sufficient for any of these places?
The answer must be the Big Sister
home or a home among surroundings
which none of us can think of com
placently for our girls who of neces-
sity are earning their living all too
inadequately. The girls come constant
~ from the country to the city because
they long for something more in their
lives than the country gives them. On
reaching the city they meet with dis
appointment after disappointment, but
still they can scarcely ever be pur-
suaded to go back to the country.
THE first safeguard needed is a re-
spectacle home but, of course, the or
ganizations affording suitable homes
for business women are overcrowded
all the time. When our home is Sc
cured we can then say, Come to the
Big Sister home and let us house you
for such an amount as you are able
to pay
"Of course credentials will be re-
CURED Every effort will be made-to fll
the house with girls who are worthy of
the character of home which it is the
hope of the Big Sisters to provide"
1t is pointed out that this movement
will be of inestimable value to the city
for does not a big sister mean one who
will love and plan for the little sister?
of course. the Big Sisters will take
pride in the development of their Tit
tie sisters for whom they are estab-
fishing this home.
Mrs. kirkpatrick declared that If the
members of this organization watch
over the little sisters" love them, plan
for them and take pride in them they
will get far more out of the move
ment than they put in it,
