! The Importance of the work of tn
Y. w. c. A. among girls and yOun,

times like these? 1t is a significan
fact that commercial recreation con
tinues to flourish at this time ant
there is a marked general interes
in leisure time pursuits. 1t is true
also that the demands for emergency
relief are not so great that We must
abandon all provisions for health
education and the recreation anC
4 character building programs. The
Y. w. c. A. brings to your cOmmun-
ity recreation and character build
ing programs to all classes through
the Girl Reserves and Business Girls
clubs. DR.. George +. Vincent says,
"It is vitality important not to with
draw support from fundamental
and paramount social service. To
fail them now would be to lower
American standards; to sacrifice the
future to the present" The cost of
character education must be met
either today or tomorrow. Children
