Y W. C. A. HAS NEW PRO
GRAM FOR TOWNS.
The Town and Country
committee of the Young Wom
en’s Christian Association an
nounces a newly adopted plat
form for work with girls and
women in towns of between
ten and twenty thousand in
habitants.
The new platform comprises
in part the following points.
First, the Association in a
town must be established on
a community-wide basis. That
is, the girls must be given an
opportunity to work for the
community rather than merely
for their own organization,
interesting themselves in com
munity recreation, education,
, health, religion, industry,
morals and so forth. Second,
the Association’s program
must be extremely flexible.
By abolishing the member
ship fee and making activities
open to members and non
members alike, it may be
made of service to all the girls
of the community. Third
Association headquarters must
be centrally located in the
girls in industry, in business
girsl in industry, in business
and in school. Fourth, the
organization and administra
tion of the Association must
oe completely democratic,
with all members sharing in
the responsibility involved.
Co-operation among the dif
ferent groups of women rep
resented is essential to the
SUSn?ss Association.
The immediate task is to
f1’1*1*? to the people of the
Cnited States a knowledge of
conditions effecting the lives
°f women in all parts of the
^orld. We can no longer ig
n°re the character, the man
ner of life and ideals of other
Peoples, whether we want to
01 not. A special call is now
coming to the Association from
