complex problems of organized living.
The reasons for unemployment are
explained, and the conditions that lead
up to 1t. They are taught the effects
OF widespread mechanization such as
exists today in the business world and
ways in which they may hope to COM
pete with the mechanical laborers or
I'LL other inches in the social struc-
ture. Likewise they are shown the i'm
portance of transportation and COM
munication and the changes they have
wrought in our ways of living and
the effects of urbaniZation upon our
way OF living. An effort is made in
short, to help the girl to understand
the world in which she finds herself
and upon which she is dependent for
an existence.
whenever possible, opportunities are
provided for the girl to continue nrac-
tlclng some personal skill or ability
such as typing, knitting or handicraft
mat may serve useful purpose when
she looks for a job.
The camps are run as a Government
project with food and supplies DUR
chased through the Procurement Di.
vlsoin OF the Treasury, just as other
Government departments make mr.,

Sucn as curtains, bed linen, towels and
similar things, are made by the girls

facilities for this work in many of the

OF practical skirts and sweaters and

young Women's progress after their

status in the community and influence
upon others that may be traced to the
camp training and its effect upon their
personalities. In this way they hope
to gain a picture Of the practical

that is planned, and orderly, and ad-
Justed to their needs and abilities"
In the management Of the camp
and conduct Of its activities two things
are kept in mind-two purposes for
which it primarily operates. The first
is to return the girl to her community
SO that she feels definite part of it
and also with something to give to it,
and the second is to increase the pos
sibility of her employment.
Therefore both educational and rec
reational activities are scheduled along
these lines. From two to four hours a
day are given over to the work prof.
ects, for which the girls are paid.
These include sewing projects, the
making OF hospital supplies for county
and State hospitals, making visual
educational aids, such as posters and
dlagrammatic pictures. making simple
recreational equipment and making
Braile books for the use of the blind.
zach Of these work projects aims to
. give the girls actual working ex-
perience. Definite standards are set
and work habits established that serve
we'll in later experience. Directors and
teachers state that it is very gratifying
TO see the way in which a girl whose
LIE has been completely unorganized
IN her own community will develop
pride in labor and in the high stand
ard OF her work as she gains the habit
OF orderly work.
This high standard OF accomplish
ment Is held up as an ideal in every
camp activity, including the more
loWly tasks Of actual housekeeping, in
which all girls share. Every girl is
required to give one hour of work to
keeping the camp in order, preparing
the meals, making the beds, cleaning
up. washing dishes, and similar occu-
pations necessary to the smooth
running operation OF their daily lives.
This part OF the program is under the
direction Of supervisor in household
maintenance and all tasks are done
in the most efficient manner.
Each girl is assigned regular re-
sponsibility having to do with the
housekeeping and under the close
supervision Of the staff, she learns to
make beds in the proper manner, how
to wash dishes the right way, and
how to cook well. Stress is placed
upon the dignity of such tasks, and
the girl is made to feel tha5 house.
hold duties are not menial but neces-
sary, and can be made an enjoyable
part OF the days routine.
The study courses are arranged on
regular schedule, with daily Pc
riods assigned for each subject The
teacher and one assistant are in
charge, and the classes are held in an
informal manner, sometimes out of
doors under the trees, weather per-
mitting, or in Winter beside fire in
the living room fireplace. or in some
equally companionable way. Courses
include study of English, home man
agement, health education and eco
nomics and sociology.
HEALTH education is in the charge
of the resident nurse. Simple
health rules are taught, hygiene of
practical application, first aid and care
of Che sick. In addition to this, baby
care is q part of the class work. In
some camps, all the gestures Of taking
care of an infant are gone through.

The fact alone that she entered the

mark her as a personality. The fact
that she has achieved great heights

profession adds to her personality the
