YOUNG GIRLS IN NEED OF MORE SERIOUS TRAINING Head of Detroit Vocational School Finds Few Think -of Home-Making Detroit, Mich., May 13.—Bfforts to find out whether preparation for home-making or a job was uppermost fn the minds of a hundred girls of fifteen. who are employed, but recefv- ing four hours instructions a week in night school resulted in some int- ting data. 8 o“l'n af much as many of the girls are of foreign birth and not accust- omed to the idea of freedom of choice, great stress was first laid upon the fact that every American girl can choose what she wishes most to do. The girls were asked to turn in a thoughtful answer to the following . question. “If you could have the kind of life you wish, with unlimited means at your disposal what life would you choose for yourself?” Of the-100 answers twenty-faur spoke in favor of a vocation, fourteen stressed the joy of life and good clothes, seven advocated being of ser- vice to others, three expressed a de- sire for a higher education, three placed character above attainment and only one longed for fame. Of the twenty-four who mentioned vocations however, four did not speci- 1y any particular vocation, only four cared for the vocation {itself more than as a means for the securing of good clothes and only two were in -any way in line for the vocation they mentioned. Of the 100, forty three in one way or another mentioned happiness as the thing most desired f in life. i Among the answers were the fol- lowing. A “] wish I could have a new suit by this time next week.”—Cash girl. “My greatest wish i to be an-ex- periénced stenographer and have a } boy friend.”—Cash girl. - - “I would like to have brains with which to.do my work so that I will not be an utter failure. I would like to be a woman to whom her husband and children could come for comfort.” —Cash girl. “I want to be full of life and have lots of friends and enjoy out of door sports and when I go to such places I would like to have mice clothes.”— Home girl. . “I wish for a happy life because I ain't never happy like others are.”— Home girl. 3 “I wish that I could have a nice home that we did not have to rent— one that we could live in by ourselves _and have a landiord in under us.”— telephone girl. “I wish, if only my wish could come true: , I would like a nice edu- cated husband with ample funds and nice pretty children with also a pret- ty home and flowers everywhere.”"— Factory girl. o The conclusion of Miss Elizabeth, head of the vocational school is that so far neitner theé home nor the job seems of paramount importance in the fifteen year old girl’s mind.- They need education and higher standards of opportunity and training which will take their minds away from ma- terial things and give them better ideals of service. - EEXK KKK XK KRR KK - NORTHERN * 3k b b 3 bk ~ Mrs. M.
