BACK TO FARM"
FOR THE GIRLS

why don't more women leave
the office and go back to the farm?"
The question is asked by Miss
Jessie Coope, assistant principal at
Mckinley High school, Washington,
d. c. Through her large contact
with young girl students, Miss Coope
realizes the urgent need for more
vocational guidance in the public
schools.
after all, 70 per cent of the
people are dependent on the % per
cent who grow the crops" she ex-
planned. And under the heading
of agriculture comes dairying and
forestry. Women could 90 into the
florist busineSS-why should they
not become tree surgeons? AS for
landscape architecture-we've had
enough interior decoration already,
what we need is more exterior
decoration." :"
According to Miss Coope, a girl
need not have completed her gen
eral education before she start
learning this profession.
"Why not start in the back yard?
If the soil isn't good, find out why
it isn't-if the grass is greener on
the other side of the fence, see
what you can do to make yours just
as green"
For the girl with the scientific
turn of mind, Miss Coope suggests
agricultural research.
I'm this case, a girl must have
her degrees, must have studied her
sciences. This field though hard to
get into, is not overcrowded as are
many others.
"The Overcrowded fields? Well,
stenography is the most popular
selection, | find. Girls think they
will have soft jobs as secretaries,
but it isn't true. feel that
knowledge of shorthand and typing
is good thing for every one to
have. But it is poor choice of
profession, unless one can be the
very best kind of stenographer, and
they are rare.
"Other careers women should try
more often are law, accounting and
banking. Some banks already have
women advisers. Although not
thriving now, the insurance bust
ness offers a good field for women.
zone profession that requires no
save good general
and cultural education is travel di-
recting. Many women get a great
deal of pleasure out of acting as
glorified guides, and jaunting all
over Europe. In some cases they
work privately or in connection with
travel bureaus.
That brings up the subject of
railroad business. There are always
places in railroads for women, as
ticket agents, and advisers for
tourists"
Through questiODnaires. the stu
dents at Mckinley High have stated
regarding the prOfes-
sions they would like to enter. The
most popular professions chosen
were Office work, engineering. and
work. Many wanted to
become department store heads,
others social secretaries.
Miss COope has arranged series
Of vocational talks by well-known
members of various professions. Il

much study is required in the pro-
fessional world" she said. II want

going to do with their lives, before

Good news for Burton Holmes

mainder Of his present series, his
lectures will begin at 4:45 p. m.
Tuesdays, instead of at 4 o'clock,
as originally planned.
Yesterday at the National The
ater, Holmes presented pictures
and gave an account Of modern,
up to the minute Mediterranean
cruise, so fresh out of the box
that it shows the new Y. M. C. A.
Building in Jerusalem.
However, there were plenty of
interesting and familiar scenes,
even though they have changed
a little in recent years. The bullock
carts still glide through FunchaPS
streets; Gibraltar's water supply
is still caught from the rains that
shower the rock from time to
time; and the women of Malta
still wear those gloomy costumes
they donned to spite Napoleon.

O'NeiII's Weak One

religion is a hard thing to sell
in the theater. Not even such a
great playwright as Eugene O'Neill
can build successful drama around
purely spiritual themes in my
humble judgment.
I have just returned from a
New York journey that included
a performance of Days Without
End" latest O'Neill opus. Much
as like the moody playwright, I
woulu not invest a penny in this
as a probable Theater Guild sue
cess.
Days Without End" reminded
me of the JekyllHyde formula.
Earle Larrimore trod the stage
as John Loving. Directly behind
him at all times was a grim,
CHASTITY looking figure with a
horrible makeup as his alter
ego or inner consciousness. The
terrifying character was played
by Stanley Ridges and a fine
fat part for one of Steve Coch-
rams graduate leading men.
The story of the play is about
q business man who took one
false step. He was unfaithful
to a good wife and his conscience
tormented him for three acts.
Earle Larrimore was the good
man and St.-:lley Ridges the
evil spirit that dwelled within
him and inspired him to try and
get rid of his wife.
The finale finds John Loving
winning in the battle to save his
soul, pouring out his belief in
the church at the foot of great
crucifix with the evil spirit killed
by his profession of faith. It is
a striking finish but too much
that has gone before is dull.
Eugene O'Neill again makes
effective use of the mask but his
dialogue is below par. Neither
do Lee SimonSon's Symbolical
settings help much. They are
not sufficient aids to illusion.
"Days Without End" is definitely
one OF ONellIS weaker plays.

"It's fun no end. Soil experts,

some of the soil and chewed it!
Then he dug down among the
roots of several trees, broke off
some of the under shoots and
cheWed those, too. Finally, he
pronounced the soil excellent.
