This is think of the time when almost every spirited woman wished she was a man. much happiness as men and they will find the way to it. Confiicts And with careers there came conflicts. flicts? for women What are con- lision, to clash or to be in oppos tion to, to be at variance With or to be contradictory. Conflicts may be of varying degrees of intensity ranging from slight irritations to disorganized living. Are conflicts necessary? Yes, in our civilization as it is now organized. All of growth is conflict between the old and the new, the good and the bad. Conflicts among individuals are real- ly clashes of desire where the inter- ests are different or the personality is out of harmony with the environ- | ment. ‘What are the types and kinds of conflicts women meet in their ca- reer life? They are many and va- ried. I can only mention a few. The conflict of women with the job or| work conditions. Work conditions had been made for men. Women, upon entering business had to ad- just to them. All sorts of social re- forms were started from stools in stores to rest rooms and rest periods for women. They say women are more troubled by confusion, disor- der, noise. Clemence Dane raises the question how long will women be able to stand the strain on the nerves of the modern business life. She thinks that women are liable {0 either work themselves to death or elapse into Victorianism which I | suppose she thinks of as the tearful period when women desired men's pity. The third course she says lies between power and disability. It is simplification which women must bring about. “There are the clashes in career- life with business associates. In our homes we have to adjust to the dif- ferent members of the family. These are often difficult enough when “love reigns supreme,” but in business there is no love which assists in controlling the situ- ation, unless we, call “loyalty to the firm” the keynote and too often this is used as a narrowing control on the individual. In the office or work place there may be the tyrant boss, the gossipy work-mate, or the jeal- ous job-seeker. We must remem- ber that probably in every business group there are those who are themselves maladjusted—the child- adult, who must have the center of the stage, the mentally sick and ir- ritable individuals. “Women even more than men possibly meet the conflict of the joh and the home. In the book ‘Why Men Fail,’ edited by Morris Fish- bein and Willlam A. White, one of reasons why women fail as given was, ‘Overtime home tasks.” The boy is not expected to help at home when he gets through his day's work, but the girl must do many things. “Women have constant clashes with man's idea of the role of wom- en. Half the men in business are not educated to the point of ac- cepting women as equals and con- trary-wise there are many women who complain of the decline of the chivalrous spirit in men and are unwilling to be judged by a com- mon standard. This raises the ques- tion are women so different from men that they should be judged by a different standard? Men and Preconceived Ideas “All mert have a preconceived al sad corollary on life and makes one | Women have the right to as | To conflict is to come up | against something, to come into col- part as follo “Every Business and Professional Women's club membgr is surely in- terested in a career. A larger pro- portion of women today are prob- ably carcer-minded than ever before in the history of woman's progress. Did our mothers have careers? Probably most of us would ‘answer | ‘No.” We only use to hear about the boy and his career, but now, career has become a woman's word. So much has it become a part of woman's diction that a friend of mine was surprised the other day, when she complimented the butcher on a fine piece of meat he had sold her, to hear him say, ‘Never in all my career of twenty-five years have I sold a poor piece of meat to any- one.’ She said afterwards to me ‘I'd forgotten that men ever had careers.’ “But let us assume early in our discussion a common meaning for this term career. The Century dic- tionary says, ‘A career is a path, a way, a course, especially a swift one, a course of life or employment of- fering possibilities of advancement or fame.’ Why is it practically all girls today want a career—this course of life that offers possibilities | Recently, 61 per women of advancement? cent of a group of young voted for careers and 39 per cent for the home in response to the question, ‘If you could choose any- thing in the world what would you most like to be?’ Some girls men- tioned two desires, business woman aow, and wife later. This call to a career is not only felt by the aver age and below-average group where the economic factor increases the need to be wage earning but by the society girl and those whom we gen- erally think of “as becoming the ‘women of leisure” There was a time when the only vocations open to women were marriage, spinster- hood and the cloister or convent. Women were afraid to remain un- married. Now they marry and con- tinue working. Mary Cassat, the artist, was told that she would have to choose between marriage and a career, she said, ‘I will have both’ | and she has given us some of the most beautiful of the modern moth- er and child pictures. Women Freer to Choose “Yes, women today are freer to choose their occupations than were their mothers and their grandmoth- | crs. Only yesterday as we count days sociologically the standard practice was a division of labor be- tween the sexes. There were cer- stands for ‘the power to contem- |idea of womanhood.

It is used Why Do Women Want a Career? “But I have not answered the question: ‘Why do women want a broadly to mean things of high emo- tional value, that the individual cares much about. The college boy career?” Perhaps Leta Hollingworth, the Columbia university psychologist gives us the best answer in her statement of the woman problem. (Century Magazine).

The inferiority complex offen leads to depression and the blues. Professor Rex B. Hersey has made a study through the University of Pennsylvania of why the work of a man varies in quality. He has studied the factors | entering into the lives of the group { that made the mood change day by In high periods work y, and in low periods as W would expect there was less wor It was found that during high periods the worker got less sleep and more social activity. Kach man seemed to have a fairly con- tent periodicity in his emotional life. Tor example worker A had a cycle of eight weeks from one low period to another and worker B had a cycle of three weeks. Does not this mean that we cannot al- ways count on being the same emo- tionally toward our work and that we must work out our own cycle and arrange our work accordingly. The superiority complex, that over-taste for domination and con- trolling others is ever present in business. Competition brings it forth. | The superiority complex may easily be the result of over-compensation of the inferiority complex. In a fran- tic effort to prevent our associates from suspecting our tim- There are some personal- | came | business | idity and shyness we cover our| weakness with arrogance. Professional Jealousy “There is probably nothing worse that women have to cope with in| their career life today than profes- |sional jealousy. Jealousy of course | can be considered a natural reaction to the instinct of mastery. Studies seem to show that so long as this job envy is present there is a steady decrease in efficiency. Jealousy and envy incident to crude competition are lost in the solvent of good fel- | lowship. i There are all sorts and kinds of fear complexes that enter into the career-life of women. The fear of growing old and the effect of age | on the job is probably an ever pres- ent one with women over forty still working. Condition, Compensate, Consolidate “How are conflicts and complexes to be averted? That women in| their career-life have any more con- flicts and complexes to meet than men or women in the home has not been an assertion in this paper. Life is with people who live at all a con- tinuous conflict, but we have means for meeting these conflicts just as much as we have other tools to work with in life. The first is what | the psychiatrist calls “conditioning.” We change the environment to suit | the need. This may be to get away | from some people that we have been | living with that tend to increase the l tensions. By reconditioning often the tendency to produce undesirable | results is minimized. An office man- | ager is doing this constantly when | he is trying to make things more comfortable so that his workers may | 4o their best work. | “The second way is through com- | pensation. In the clash between am- | bition and the real facts in life, we | often compensate. We have one thing if we have not another. It is usually & comforting and even a health-producing device, but the ! over-use of it is bad and leads to day-dreams and extreme rationaliza- | tion. A common form of compensa- | tion is clear understanding or state- ment of the facts at issue. Then | we say at least we know where we | stand. For example a woman head | feared her chief. She always trem- bled like a leaf when he sent for her. ITinally she said to herself | what was the truth, ‘Why darn it, he | can't any more than fire me anyway,’ and she felt holstered up. It is through understanding that we are able to see through complexes and conflicts and sometimes sce how foolish they are. We give up one thing for another of greater value. Escapes and hobbies are also a form of compensation. These can be prac- ticed to extremes until we no longer enjoy the escape. “The third way of minimizing con- flicts and complexes is through con- solidation. Where two interests are in conflict the dominance of one and the suppression of the other may | be averted by consolidation. It is not easy for two conflicting interests to consolidate; there has to be com- promise. The individuals or group must see likenesses and differences and unite in their major concerns. We can only relieve our difficulties by understanding them, finding the areas of conflicts or the kind of com- plexes. The essential conflict arises when we refuse to face vital issues or when we stop questioning. The woman who would understand is the woman who will progress. Are women in careers today asking how they may understand as well as how they may do” O’Neill to Write Next Play in French Castle | Tours, France, Oct. 15 (A—The | Chateau Du Plessis, a cozy castle snugly hidden in the center of a large park on the northern slope of the Riant valley of the Choisille, a little brook shaded by willow trees, is the beauty spot, ideal for soli- tude and meditation, which Eugene O'Neill has selected to write his new play. The American dramatist works | mostly at night and keeps himself | in the severest seclusion. The access to the chateau is restricted to in- vited guests, and they are few. Mr. and Mrs. O'Neill, the former Carlotta Monterey, have been re- siding here since the spring of 1929. Mr. O'Neill said he would remain here a year and a half and that his health never was better. {Briand Improving After Recent Grippe Attack Paris, Oct. 15 (P—Foreign Min- ister Briand still was confined to his apartments in the ministery of foreign affairs today but was said to be well on the way toward con- valescence from his recent attack of the grippe.

Bodwell, executive secretary of the New England Watch and Ward society, has been denied the custody, at least temporarily, of his 18 year old son, Sherman. This action was taken by Su- perior Judge Charles A.

Mayo. of the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., told a group of prominent physicians and surgeons today that the modern university, in educating medical students, over- stresses the cultural background and pays little attention to training in clinical medicine, Principal Speaker Today Dr. Mayo. who is here attending | the annual meeting of the American | College of Surgeons, was the prin- | cipal speaker at the dedication of Temple University's §1,500,000 school of medicine. Prior to his ad- dress he received the honorary de- f gree of doctor of laws from Temple *in honor of his services to humanity n the field of surgery.” Dr. Mayo said that only the last two vears training or from six to eight vears after he leaves high school were really concerned with clinical prac- tice and that many medical schools had found it necessary to demand one or more hospital vears to sup- plement this “too meager” training n clinical medicine. ‘“Added to this period spent in medical school,” Dr. Mayo said, “is the cost, and it is quickly seen that from $7,000 to $10,000 is necessary to enter the practice of medicine.
