30 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

Northwest will send delegates from the faculty and student body as
well as their deans of women.

We believe that such a gathering of college and professional women
will do much toward broadening and enlarging the young women of
the Washington State College. No slight is intended to teaching
as a vocation, but it is believed that too large a proportion of our
women students and graduates are entering that profession, and that
many of them have no business teaching and are, through ignorance
of the opportunities open to them in other fields, missing the work
that would be congenial to them, and thus cheating society out of
their best efforts. There is too much to be done these days for a
woman to finish her college course without some definite idea of what
she is going to do when she has left the halls of her alma mater.
The purposeful woman will try to shape her work and elect those
courses in college which will give her the greatest amount of prep-
aration for her future work. One of the aims of the conference is
to give information concerning the natural qualifications and prep-
arations necessary to success in the various vocational fields.
