There arehlghly speciali^ed fields of work, Y-'herein women are functioning In our country's war program todoy. One source of Man-po'P/er of our nation is ■lioman-power. In today's crisis, the urgent need is for more skilled and highly trained ^romen, such as ■fJomen Sci- entists, Physicians, Nursrs, Teachers, Child Specialists, Industrial Supervisors, Vvelfare Workers, Agriculturalists, etc., as veil as women in the Armed Forces, ''iviost of the jobs that women can do in war-time are but intensi- fications of the jobs that women should do in peace.'' The war will not last always. The greater part of your lives will be lived in the post-war period. So, in order to produce the p ri&ce by '/ihlch Society shall and must live, prepare yourselves not only scientifically but also culturely and spiritually to meet the recon- struction period of the world. This calls for today's achievemenx in the classroom, for the tomorrow's job. I^.iaria Leonard Dean of Women •"•«• ».Wi»!ry Of THE OCT 4 1943 INDEX I. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS 5 II.

There is a definite shortage of teachers in the elementary ani high Bcjiools m the coujntry because ma,ny of the men teachers have been called into war services . For stuclente interested in the vocation of teachinc,, see the College of EDUCATICK curriculum. ■K- * * COr^MmilTY SERVICE offers vital fields of workfbr women in the war effort. Protection of little children is of prime importance to our nation. A {^.reat need of workers exists in the following' fields: Nursery Schools^ Social Service^ Visiting Nurses^ Recreation Supervisors; Camp and Club Leadership; and Travelers' Aid. Some courses which prepare for Community Service are: TM CHILD AND HIS DEVELOfMEHT (Home Economics % and 56b — See HOME ECONQMICS ), RECPJJlATIOri AND CAMP LEADERSHIP (P. E. W. 00 ~ See PHYSICAL FITNESS ) . A wide-ran^e of courses in Sociology; Psycholocy; and Education furnishes a background for these fields . , * * -;;- CIVIL SERVICE — FEDERAL AND STATE - A Civil Service ratine is required for all government positions. College graduates with majors in the Social Sciences and Biifjiness Mministration are employed oxtonsivelj'- as Junior Professional Assistants and Junior Business Analysts. A wide demand exists also for graduates in the Pnysical and Natural Sciences. (See PHYSICAL SCIENCES). Saate Civil Service affords opportunities especially throu{:;h the wel- fare programs. An A.B, degree qualifies applicants for the examination of Junior Visitor. Secretaries with college education are urgently needed — everywhere. ARMED FORCES -- The \JAG, 'WAViCS, SPARS; AND MARINES are especially interested in women who are college graduates for officer material. Senioia may enlist in the Armed Forces prior to graduation and be placed on inactiv- status until their college course is completed. (Consult Dean of Women's Office.) Army hospital dietitians are badly needed. This calls for gradua-tion from the regular Home Economics co;,irse; designed for training dietitians and an internship in an Army Hospital. Army dietitians are given Aray ranlc from second lieutenant to Major. (Consult Homo EconoDD.es Department.) -5t •Jf -X- THS RIGHT GIRL IN THE RIGHT JOB is most essential in war time.
