"Joy in Your Job" 



Proves Interesting

 proper influence is growing less and less. 

 The competition of outside activities with 

 the home is growing more and more. As 

 each year goes by, attraction increases in 

 neighboring communities, in state and 

 national affairs. Entertainment increases 

 continually. Movies and automobiles al- 

 so have their effect upon the home and 

 the school is now being depended upon to 

 do its part of home training. 



In oi'der to do this work efficiently, if 

 women are to make the best use of the 

 amount of time they spend in the home, 

 we must have a home management pro-

 each in turn introduced. 



The main speaker for the day was Mrs. 

 Ida Harrington, Executive Secretary of 

 the American Homemaking Inc., of 

 Providence, R. I. She kept the attention 

 of the audience every second, her sub 

 ject was so inspiring. 



"Joy in Your Job" 



The .subject of my talk is ".Joy in Your 

 .Job." I saw two newspaper articles re- 

 cently which at first did not seem to link 

 together at all and then suddenly .seemed 

 to express each other. One was to the 

 effect that the great American disease of 

 today is Spectatoritis, which seems a 

 tendency to sit back and let George do the 

 entertaining. The other clipping was; "If 

 you keep your nose to the grindstone 

 rough and keep it down there long 

 enough, then you will think that there is
