"ChoOse the task that is worth
doing; it need not be a big task
in itself, but it must be worth do
ing. 1t is not the money hat is
paid each day that makes the task
worth while; the important thing is
that satisfaction which comes to us
as we do the work. There is some
thing that each one of us may give
to some particular task that no
other person can give"
A gathering Of more than 200 high
school girls, representing IS Montana
towns and communities, had been
called for the drill hall at the State
college at Bozeman. For a half hour
they sat almost motionless while
Dean Sarah Louise Arnold of Sim
mons College, Boston, told them the
place open to woman in the field of
modern endeavor. They heard from
the lips of a Oma experienced in
handling young women the story of
life possibilities for them. 1t was a
talk filled with kindly advice and
sparkling with wit, the sort of talk
that left them better young women
citizens.
Largest In Country
The vocational congress for high
school girls of Montana, held at Boze-
man, November 24-26, was the eighth
annual event of its kind to be spon-
sored by the State College under the
leadership of Dean Una B. Herrick.
1t was a congress that brought more
than state wide attention, for the
state of Wyoming had sent a repres-
entative to take notes that would
serve as a basis for similar work in
that state; notes were taken to be
used In the state of Pennsylvania, re-
porters we're busy with stories for two
eastern publications which had be-
come interested in the event. 1t was
once again the largest vocational con-
gress for young women ever held in
the country, 1t was a grown and ex-
panded sort of congress hat in past
years has made fame for women's
work at the Montana State college.

woman's Profit In Turkeys

That the raising of turkeys pays is
Indicated In the experience of Mrs.
w. ]. Ludwick Of Mill Iron, in Carter
county, who in a recent trip to Baker
sold 80 birds, which Melted her the
sum of $134.40, which is at the aver
age of 1920 each.
She still has the larger part of her
flock left and expects to sell the re-
mainder at a later date for at least
$3.50.
The affirmative on the question Of
the profit arises from the fact that
the turkeys live on the range and
feed largely on grasshoppers.

keynote and the theme of the pro-
gram.
The program started on Thursday
night and ended on Saturday after
noon of the week. The Thursday
night entertainment was one of the
most delightful things on the entire
program. Here the various college
departments showed through their
young women students the work that
they are doing. And at the end a
pretty bit of symbolism was carried
out when the many Whitehead high
school girls passed through the dark
ened room to the young college WON
an who held in her hand a candle
of surprising size and beauty. From
the flame of this larger candle of
learning each of the delegates lit her
own taper until the room was aglow
with the twinkling lights in scores Of
hands. And while the candle lights
cast their wavering shadows from the
inspired young faces to silhouettes
on the high walls of the assembly
room, there came a few words that
broke the silence, a little phrase of
holiness of wOman's work, a little
expression of hope in the ideals of
womanhood, a little caution of wis
dom, and a great sense of service.
That enthusiasm and inspiration,
kindled in the flames of q blue-and-
gold candle the first night, burned
to make it a week apart in the cal
endar of life for many of the girls.
Every speaker was received with ap-
plause, needed with flattering atten-
ton, and copied in note books with
infinite car The words OF many of
the speakers will be repeated to other
young women by the hundreds In
scores of Montana high schools be-
fore the new year. The effects OF
some of these sayings will travel their
unseen ways through the lives of
many of MOntana's young women for
we'll let that story come from
Dean Herrick's lipe some day when
she feels like telling, OF writing, one
OF the most interesting chapters in
the history of Montana citizenship
the inside story OF vocational con-
gress work.
Handling the Delegates
Young women of Montana State
handled the entire program
with the help of their dean and their
During the first days OF
the congress Miss Margaret Conkling
met every train and welcomed every
delegate. Miss Kathleen Cameron
and her committee provided rooms
Tor every visiting delegate, a task OF
no mean proportions when some 200
rooms must be found for the free
use Of young women for three nights.
The chairman of the congress was
Miss Noneeta Noble, a college senior
Great Falls. Other college
young women handled the various
work of the cOngress-entertainment,
music, program, ushering, publicity,
,tc. Every young woman al thrown
lpon her own initiative In the mat

7oung women learning to think and
let for themselves. And for the eight
1ears OF the congress, according to
Dean Herrick, the college girls have
lever failed her on any Of their as

What is a vocational congress fol
young women? The answer came in
interesting phrase and earnest SEN
tence from women high in the pro-
fessional world. These prominent
ONE appeared before the congress,
each to present to the young women
the opportunities open to young wo-
men today in the various professions
and vocations. A well known woman
physician of Butte brought medical
work before them in an appealing
way; an art teacher told the posi-
bilities in her field; a chemist proved
that women may accomplish miracles
in that field; writer's, community
workers, school teachers, women
scientists, musicians-all opened to
the young women the story of life in
their professions.
From this congress, as from SINH
lar preceding gatherings, the high
school young women of Montana have
returned to their high schools to
carry an important message to their
classmates. These young women in
the period of schooling where the fu-
ture life's work is still in nebula, are
given opportunity to study at close
range the various professions and vo-
cations open to women, and choose
their line Of work. The results of
such work might seem hazy to the I'M
initiated, but in the wOmen's depart
ment at Montana State College Deal
Herrick can show at least scores of
direct instances where some young
woman has been given a key to the
work that she likes best, through the
congress.
And here it might be well to an
swer the question that will arise in
many minds; the question that is
ever more or less insistently seeking
solution. Are the young women thus
encouraged to seek a life's work out
side the home, to give up the rearing
Of children and the making OF better
American homes?
The Home Comes First
Not a speaker that appeared on the
platform at the Eighth Annual Vo-
carional Congress for Girls forgot to
mention that the highest and noblest
If at the same time the commonest,
occupation for woman is motherhood
and home making. Women who
themselves had gone through decades
of professional life, who have faced
the world alone and fought their way
to individual success, stressed the
glory of home life, the blessedness of
the home where husband and wife,
of one mind, win for themselves and
their children a happiness above all
other forms Of fame and gain. The
home is never forgotten at the voca-
tional congress. It is II anything the

WATCH YOUR REVERSE

The other day | ran down to Cold
Spring Inlet, Cape May, and came to
anchor. Of course, was on the good
Yacht Frdneda.
Everything seemed serene. We had had
a day of it on the Bay and retired early.
About midnight the wind came up strong
from the northeast and it was self-evident
that it was only matter of few minutes
when the Yacht would be on the pilings,
for we were dragging anchor rapidly.
The engine was started, the anchor
weighed, and in the face of half gale,
the crew Cmeaning the Captain, sailor
and ccok) and myself, all doled up in
midnight emergency uniforms "a surplus
of nighties below sweaters) started to
n.aneuver for a holding anchorage, but

PIERIAN CHAUTAUOUA CIRCLE

The regular meeting of the Circle was
held in the schoolroom on November 5,
1922. Total attendance twelve. After a
brief welcome by President M. to the
four new members present the secretary
called the roll and the distribution of
books etc. followed
In call for new members there were
three more names submitted and one re-
instatement asked for. Action on the lat
ter will be determined on later.
Pres. NJ. has prepared list of activities
for the members of which the following
is part: A debate on Nov. 10Th, the
question being, as it Vital to Americans

and P. J. B. will defend the negative
while R. ]. T. and F. T. P. will do their
utmost on the affirmative.

papers will be read: Experiences of a

ature," by A. r. NJ "Modern Methods of

on the Packing House of today, while c.
II. S. portrayed on paper with paints, what
promises to be picturesque spot some
where. He was unable to finish it owing
to lack of time, but will do so at the next
meeting.
At the session for the good of the order
the Secretary asked the members to accept
his resignation owing to his activities other
than the Circle taking too much of his
time, but solutions seemed to come from
each member to overcome the question of
time, however, it was moved and seconded
to take action at the next meeting.

seemed to be just out of the sort of an
chorage wanted.
We encircled the pilot boat which was
also anchored in the harbor, so frequently,
that l think the watch became dizzy, and
in self-defense informed us that if we
would come closer, he would throw us a
line which would hold u.s.
l was at the helm and tried to perform
this little maneuver myself and would
have succeeded perfectly IF it had not
been that when l threw in the reverse
clutch, it refused to work and well out of
respect to the others concerned, perhaps
it is as well not to go into the narrowing
details of what happened.
When l arrived back in the City, there
was letter from a Bank, asking me to
look into the affairs of certain manufac-
turing business, which they were endeav
oring to get out of financial difficulty.
On my way down to see the Bank Off
Gals, stopped to gather some information
and my chauffeur parked in close up to
car in front, but where there was plenty
of room behind. When l came out to get
into my car, few minutes later, the
chauffeur could not get out, for while he
had plenty of room aft, his reverse gear
would not mesh in and he could not back.
So we waited patiently until the other fell
low in front moved.
When got to the bank, and finished the
interview with the heads of the manu-
fatcuring concern in difficulty, | could
hot help but notice that their entire trouble
was due to the fact that when the slump
came, their reverse would not work.
They were full speed Roadway, with
lot the slightest provision for breaking the
speed other than most painfully slow
process of letting up.
All of which points to the moral that in
business as well as in yachting and motor
ing, it is very important that you know
your reverse is in good working order, for
while you do not need the reverse fire.
quently, you need it very badly when you
do need it.-SeleCted
