The previous education this Kansas girl had enjoyed halted abruptly at the eighth grade. 4ne then went to work in the factory wrapping cakes of soap. She continued at it several years, uatil she was chosen to go to Bryn Mawr with all expenses paid This was part of an experiment, conducted by the college authorities, womén leaders and alumnae this year for the first time. Eighty-one factory workers in various parts of the coun- try weore given scholarships, and had every advantage of college life and education at this well known Penn- sylvania institution. Then they went back to the work they had left. “Of course, I didn’t get an educa- tion in elght weeks—a person couldn’t be expected to," the Kansas City girl said “But 1 did enjoy it, certainly, und I think I got a good deal out of it. 1 tried to get all I could.” Mis1 Beauchamp came back, fired with ambition to do something to lend a helping hand to her fellow workers and better their condition in overy possible way, she says. “How would you set about to do it, it you had a free hand?" inquired a visitor. “T'a promptly, and botter pay.” Miss Beauchamp says she does not expect to return to Bryn Mawr or any other college for further work. She #ays that, as far as her plans are now, she will go ahead with the old job, trylng to make something more out of it, by ald of her summer's exper- fence, and trying to help other girls make their own jobs better. unionize them,”” she replied “and work for better hours BIRMINGHAM WILL HAVE GELEBRATION Alabama City 50 Years Old Next Month Jirmingham, Ala., Sept. 21 —Birm- ingham will celebrate its fiftieth anni- versary Oct. 24 to 20, with an exposi- tion and historical pageant depicting the development of the South's lead- ing industrial city from the bullding of its first house in 1871.
