WORK OFFERS EXPERIENCE
Women in the education department
desiring credits- in campus activities
have open to them a most interesting
and useful line of work, onkthis cam-
pus.. Mrs. Geraldine Notley, of the So-
cial Service Department of the Uni-
versity Hospital, s issued a plea
for women interested in education to
apply as instructors for the 148 chil-
dren enrolled in the hospital school.
The children range from pre-school
age through the high school age and
more than half the number are re-
ceiving an editation equivalent to the
schooling they might receive were
they nt forced toileave. their homes to
come to Ann 4rbor. -Any woman who
might apply would be placed under the
directions of 'the four instructors who
are regularly employed at the hospital
for the purpose . of instructing the
children. Not'onlIf does the field offer
itself to educational utility but it of-
fers the int,qe g field of Social
Service work.
Unless the women applying feel,
however, that they can devote two
hours a week, on any two afternoons
between the hoprr of 1 and 4:30
o'clock, Mrs: ot lconsidersdthe ap-
plications useless. The children are
being taugh l.tle understanding{
that their work will be acceptable in
their home schools and unless their
instructors 'ifc regular and interested,
their work will not make the accept-
ance of their credits. possible.

who have bee4 o+ of school, feel in-
many cases a bitterness toward school
work which nwsb* overcome by the
interest whihi, the instructor must
arouse in the work to be done. The ex-,
perience gained in teaching these chil-.
dren should prove., invaluable to stu-
dents interested in .education, and itj
is hoped that enough women who are
interested sufficiently to prove faith-
ful and regular in the work will re-
spond to relieve the pressure on the
regularly employed instructors.
Other women interested in doing a
work of service are offered the oppor-
tunity of aiding in occupational ther-
apy work aiid in other lines of school
work.

These distances are to be ,covered by

lengths of the pool. Eighteen lengths
of the 25-yard pool constitutes a quar-
ter of a mile. Each time a "woman
swims twelve lengths she checks the
fact on a chart, and whei' she has
swuim enough lengths she is credited
with swimming to Ypsilanti or even
to Detroit.
.lere individual work is to be done
in the swimming classegs this year.
Classes meeting twice a week will
spend the first day workiig' as a unit,
while on the second day each woman
will practice alone with,lof course, the
supervision of the instructor.
Various strokes, dives; and stunts
will be worked on by the classes. The
crawl will be stressed more than any
other stroke. One stunt which the
classes are already practicing is swim-
ming like a fish-that is, with a fin-
like motion of the hands. A more dif-
ficult stunt, which will be attempted
later, is jumping up and down from
one end of the pool to the other.
Approximately 75 women are en-
rolled in the academic classes at the

traveling, or at one of our well known
resorts, Kathryn Francis, '28, spent
her summer teaching in the mountains
of Kentucky. "To leave Michigan and
go to Kentucky to teach is to turn the
pages of history back at least fifty
years," states Miss Francis.
"The town I was in, in the heart of
the mountains, had only two buildings
two stories high, while the houses
were mere two-room shacks. There
were no paved streets, no electric
lights, no modern conveniences of any
kind. In fact they would not under-
stand how to use them if they had
them. They have no idea of sanitation,
and know none of the simple rules of
health.
"The students were both boys and
girls, ranging in age from three to 18
years, and were most eager to learn
and were very intelligent. These chil-
dren of the mountains are never self-
conscious, never indifferent and never
express the well known phrase, 'Do I
have to do this? Ability in public
speaking. appreciation' of music,
drama and art, were noticeable to a
great extent.
"The social life of the town was for
the men only. Every evening they con-
gregated at the one store where they
whiled the evenings away in conversa-
tion. The only time the women in town
had for neighborly visiting was on
wash day, when al gathered at the
river to do the family laundry.
"Their dress was very unconven-
tional. The girls, whether three or 18,

are those of uncouth and uncultured
people.
"To spend a summer in the Ken-
tucky mountains teaching the most
loyal of American citizens is an ex-
perience worth having," concludes

IN HOME-MANAGEMENT
Serving, bread making, and the
planning of meals will be included in
Household Management, a new course
which is being offered by the Ann
Arbor Y. W. C. A.
Miss Mary Branson, instructor in
Domestic Science in Ann 'Arbor
schools, will be in charge of this class
which will meet, starting October 7, at
7:30 o'clock every Friday night.
"This course should be of interest
to university women," says Mrs. E. L.
Moses of the Y. W. C. A., "since so
many girls find it necessary to ,earn
their way through school by serving
or other phases of household manage-
ment."
Further information concerning this
course or any other activity of the
Y. W. C. A. may be,:gained by com-
municating with Mrs. . L. Moses at
the Y. W. C. A. headquarters.
HORSEBACK RIDING
IS POPULAR SPORT
OF YOUNG WOMEN
That horseback riding is one of the
most popular -sports is shown by the
number who ride who are not in
classes. Zast year, according to Mr.
G. L. Alullison, proprietor of Mulli-
son's riding academy, 200 women rode
on an average of once a week, while
54 rode twice a week for credit.
"Most of them are good riders," Mr.
Alullison said, "many of them having
taken it first in riding class, and then
kept it up through the four years.
Though a few prefer horses which are
easily kept in control, most of the
regular riders can manage any horse."
Miss Billy Hohlman, noted eques-
trienne, says that only 10 per cent of
the women who ride know anything of
horses, and ride only because it is
the popular thing to do. Most of them
merely walk their horses at a slo'w
pace.
"Trf.rue horsemanship and true
sportsmanship are synonymous," Miss
Dohlman states. "Horseback riding
also makes for nerve and self-control."
