to those
occupations of girls which grow out of a knowledge of "domestic science."
The study of domestic science is making itself felt in the homes of the
country and is opening up many avenues of employment for girls. The
management of clubs, hotels, restaurants, tea-rooms, cafeterias, and
lunch-rooms in connection with colleges, departmental stores, and banks,
affords employment for those who have the gifts and training necessary.
Special cooking for invalids, the supplying of specialties, such as
marmalade, pickles, preserved fruit, canned fruit and vegetables, salted
nuts, cakes of various kinds and other dainties is work which is being
carried on successfully by numbers of women and girls. The girl, in
considering employment, should remember that she will be at an advantage
in any specialized women's employment and that the world is offering her
opportunities for good work which a few years ago had not been dreamed of.
The occupation of house work, household management, cooking, all the arts
of the home, will well repay the enthusiasm and energy of every girl who
has a gift in this direction. What the girl with ability for this work
needs to bring to her problem is, not only enthusiasm and energy, but
originality and initiative. "I have a real gift," she should say to
herself; "how can I make the best use of it?"

Universities have established departments of domestic science, and there
are also domestic science training schools. Numbers of graduates find
positions as instructors. Many other positions are open to the domestic
science graduate. Practical experience is required in most of these
openings. After graduating it is advisable to find a position as an
assistant. In this way the young woman in this occupation will become
fitted to hold the most responsible and remunerative posts. There are
possibilities in household work and domestic science which have not yet
been realized.

THE TEACHER

Two girls were playing a game of tennis together. One of the girls was a
skilful player, but the other knew little of the game. In a few minutes
the skilful player came to the side of the net where the other stood.
"See," she said, "this is the way to hold your racket. This is the way to
strike the ball." The unskilled player grasped the idea, and immediately
much pleasure was added to the game for them both.

A singer was giving a lesson to one of her pupils. She explained to her
carefully how
