MISS M'C0RKLE SPEAKS
Tells Montevallo Students Conditions
 of Working Girls

Montevallo. April s.-(special.)- Miss Constance McCorkle, who will take charge of the Alabama Vocation this summer, made a talk to the stu dents of Alabama Technical Institute and College for Women Saturday morning, April 8, at the chapel period. Her appeal was that those of the privileged leisure class, which college students represent, get in closer con- tact with the industrial girls of the state. She gave graphic illustrations of how the lives of these girls who are making the things we use every day. are sacrificed. due to the high specialization of their work, at the expense Of their health, through long hours and low wages.
 shouldn't we find out why and how girls in our own state are exploited and how to help them?" was the oues- ton she presented to the students. She cautioned against patronizing the girl in industry.
 Miss McCorkle will make A st-ryev during the next few months of condi- tions affecting girls who will come to the vocational school in Birming ham. Before coming to Alabama she was actively engaged in Y. W. c. A. work with industrial girls for many years. She spent the two years pre- yious to the last national biennial Y. W. c. A. convention in Cleveland in touring the northwestern and Pa cific states for the national board ex- ploining needs Of industrial women workers. preparatory to that conven- tion.
 Miss McCorkle came to the college some weeks ago to enter some courses in home economies and consult with officials to gain helpful information In directing the vocational school in Birmingham. Her study was cut short by several weeks illness in Birmingham hospital, but she is now at the college finishing her consulta- ton with officers and teachers and seeking among the prospective grad uate girls who may be suitable for aiding in the work of the Alabama Vocation School for Girls

NOTHING COULD STARTLE
YOUNG NATIVE PROTEGE|
(Anchorage Times.)


Harry Sellers, teacher at the Tyo-
mic school, has learned something
about the urbanity Of the native he
had not acquired in his long expert
ence with him. Harry brought a
small native boy to Anchorage for eye
treatment The boy had seen moth
ing of modern civilization aside from
that exemplified in the school, yet
when he reached Nancy and saw his
first railroad train he nonchalantly
gave is the "once over" took his seat
and settled back to enjoy his ride.
When he reached Anchorage Sellers
thought his charge would at least
show some signs Of surprise, but still
the urbanity prevailed. At the hotel
the boy found nothing to startle him
in hot and cold running water and
electric lights, but after the first
night he complained that the tenn
perature of his room was not to his
liking, so pulled the bedclothes off
onto the floor and said it was sloo-
KUN. But the final blow was yet to
come; Harry took his charge about
town and allowed him to see some
of the latest fashions. Asked what
he thought of it the boy merely re-
marked with bored expression:
"Just like squaw in summertime.
Then Harry quit, and took his
charge home.
