Finds Duties Are Reversed
Mrs. borrows
Seeks Students
To Fill Jobs
By JESSIE FAINT EVANS.

ny JESSIE FAM EVANS.
Things have changed in the Of
nee Of Mrs. Winnie G. Barrows, di-
rector Of personnel guidance at
George Washington University.
In prewar days at the opening OF
tire university's fall session, she
would be frantically seeking open
inss with employers for young peo-
ole who needed jobs to help them
through their university careers.
Now she is busy trying to find
qualifled students to I'LL the hun
dreds Of available positions. She
also is trying to accommodate would
be employers who do not know
where to turn for necessary assist
ance.
TT is not that our students are
stunning these opportunities" Mrs.
Barrows said. Rather it is that the
demand for scientifically trained
persons to I'LL positions In the Gov
ernment and the war program is
recruiting more and more Of our
young people.
ship designing companies and
other commercial Arms as well as
the Government agencies" she adds,
ARE eager to employ all the women
engineers, architects, craftsmen,
mapmakers and other technically
trained students George Washington
Or any other class A institution
can produce"
A card file In Mrs Barrows' ONCE
lists for George Washington stu
dents all the employment oppor-
tunities open to them.
Many part-time students, who
have been holding positions while
going to school, Mrs. Barrows says,
are switching to full-time university
schedules to At themselves more
speedily for the present war oppor-
tlnities.
George Washington University's
accelerated program also is an in
eentive to part.time students to
give up auxiliary jobs to concen-
trate upon finishing their college
work, Mrs. Barrows believer. Par
ticularly is this true of young men
expecting to be called into the
armed services, she says.
Another reason for the falling oil
In the number Of students seeking
positions is that the student body
Is made up Of many hundreds Of
ftin-tine employed persons. In their
leisure hours they are coming to the
university for cultural and profess
sional courses along the line Of their
special interests.
ALSO many Of our girls are mar
rying in the midst of their college
work. But many are coming back
and resuming their courses after
their honeymoons, Mrs. Barrows
said.
Mrs. Barrows' role is a multiple
one. Not only is she a glorihed
major for more than $500 women
students, but she Is also q university
mother for both the men and women
students.
During the IA years this silver
haired, versatile woman has held
this post ut the university there is
scarcely = question which has not
been asked her by the students or
their parents.

large and small, find q solution

Prospects of Growth

Population records after the First
World War tend to bear out the
Census Bureaus belief that Wash
lngtOn is one Of the cities with
a superior prospect Of retaining its
population growth after this war.
Dr.. Philip NJ. Hauser assistant di-
rector Of the census, based the pre-
diCtiOn Of superior prospects" on
the ground that cities which grew
rapidly in the face Of severe handi-
caps in the depression years are
pretty apt to keep growing after the
war. Washington is one Of six cities
so classified.
A Census Bureau estimate gave
Washington's population as 365,000
in 1916. and a year later police
census increased this estimate to
395 947 There was an exodus OF
war workers during 1919, but in spite
of that the decennial census of 1920
showed continued growth, placing
the population at AIT ST.. There was
no recorded falling back, the popu-
lation jumping to 486,869 in 1890 In
the next decade, which took in the
years Of the depression, the popula-
ton rose to 663 ,091 Current esti-
mates place the population at about
875.000.
The city is handicapped now, not
merely by being overcrowded but
because Of the impossibility Of ade-
quately increasing facilities in some
