2 I wonder if anyone ever feels at home in photography? There is always sonething to study and wonder about. With all the reading about vi hat to do and how to do it a person needs good 'judgment and common sense mixed in. Given a subject, take all the books you have on the art, read thoroughly, decide on the shutter and stop settings (use a light meter if you have one), focus the range finder, set the shutter cock, and CLICK. This is photography, but only the beginning. Cynthia Clark ’ 4 FURTHER EDUCATION FOR GIRLS Has anyone ever told you that education for girls is a waste of money? I have be n told that it is a waste of money until she gets married. I firmly believe that, with all the opportunities there now are for girls, every one who is capable should train for some profession. When our grandmothers were our ages there were three things to do: be a teacher, be a nurse, or get married. When our mothers graduated from high school there were more opportunities, but not so many as there are now. Today everyone who really wants an education can get one. Fertile fields are open to nurses, doctors, dietitians, X-ray technicians, teachers, secretaries, telephone and telegraph operators, librarians, accountants, and designers. Radio offers interesting work to young women in radio acting, program planning, anf technical operation. To those who are talented the entertainment world beckons with its alluring salaries. Women have become successful news reporters and radio commentators. Now the armed forces offer many new and adventurous jobs for high school graduates, but even greater opportunities are open to college graduates.
