Government Girls

She said that Miss Berrum had been
considered good resident.
Questioned closely as to the type
of guidance given girls who lived at
Arlington Farms, Miss johnson and
Miss Dorothea Jarecki, director of
Georgia Hall, said that with girls
who seem immature they go Into
detail to give ADVICE about not get
ting into automobiles on the street
not making pick-ups and being care
full to budget their money. With a
girl who seems more mature, the di-
rectors said, they mention these
problems only in general way.
The gist of the advice given
whether in detail or not-the di-
rectors said, is for each girl to use
her own good judgment" First,
they should conduct themselves as
their parents taught them, Miss
johnson said she always points out.
Second, each girl also be careful
not to jeopardize her career and
her opportunity in Washington.
A small number of girls, Miss
Jarecki added, constitute a problem,
because she has discovered they
came to Washington for a lark" :"
These girls usually grow discour-
aged, she said, adding that about
eight of them had gone home last
month. She said she wished the
pre-employment examination could
detect this attitude, but admitted
this would be most difficult.
The murder of Miss Berrum

Love" Golden Text: jeremiah g.:
"a. Let him that glorieth glory in
this, that he UNDERSTANDABLE and
knoweth me, that / am the Lord
which exercise loveing kindness,
judgment, and righteousness, in
the earth: for in these things I de-
light, saith the Lord. A Bible cita-
ton from the lesson-sermon is: II
Thess. 3: 5. And the Lord direct
your hearts into the love of God,
and into the patient waiting for
Christ. A correlative passage from
the textbook Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy is: Up. %: IL
22). "Work out your own saliva
tion," is the demand of Life and
Love, for to this end God worketh
with you. occupy till I comet"
Wait for your reward, and "be not
weary in we'll doing" If your en-
deavors are beset by fearful odds,
and you receive no present reward,
go not back to error, nor become a
sluggard in the race. When the
smoke of battle clears away, you
will discern the good you have
done, and receive according to
your deserving. Love is not hasty
to deliver us from temptation, for
Love means that we shall be tried
and purified.
