Our country looks to
them for another generation of privileged girls even stronger and wiser
than they.
One of the greatest of the problems with which our country is concerned
today, the solution of which involves every phase of social, religious
and economic life, is the providing of ways and means by which the
unprivileged girl may, in large numbers, be promoted into the privileged
class.

THE GIRL WHO IS EASILY LED
She is a chameleon sort of girl but she is not rare. So often she is
sweet and lovable. Almost without exception she is obliging, a jolly
companion, fearless and frank. One often finds her a girl of talent and
natural ability. She is the very opposite of the indifferent girl for
she responds to everything. The girl she will finally become depends
upon the companions whose lead she follows. Her safety lies in the
establishment of the habit of going in the right way. She is the girl
who most needs care and guardianship. So much depends upon her choice of
friends that parents and teachers must be wise for her.
A little ten-year-old, in whom all her teachers were interested because
of her versatility and quick response to every interest, moved into a
new neighborhood. Some weeks later because of her ability to learn
rapidly she was put into a higher grade.
