Women Should Specialize Careers, Speakers Advise
Conference Closes Two-Day Session With Talks On Women's Opportunities
Women who want a career should specialize in their particular fields. This advice was given by speakers in the closing sessions of the careers conference Wednesday.
Dr. Clara Nigg, head of the Virus laboratory at E.R.Squibb and Sons, New Brunswick, N.J., named textiles, tanning, food preservation, and oairies as a few of the industries where women specialists in the field of industrial bacteriology are needed.
Mrs. Louise Holt, of the Meninger clinic, Topeka, advised University women that personnel work, including labor-management relations and industrial psychology, is the most promising field for those having no clinical experience.
Miss Jane Schroeder. Swift and Company's "Martha Logan," told women that the business end of home economics is the newest field.
"However, teaching, dietetics and acting as home demonstration agents still include most of the home economics workers," she said.
Dr. Charlotte Wells, director of speech at Missouri University, outlined the openings for speech correctionists in hospitals, university clinics and in education.
Miss Avis Van Lew, director of nurses at the University hospitals, Kansas City, said there is always use in the home for the knowledge a woman acquires in the nursing p.ession.
Miss Helen Fahey, physical education supervisor at Kansas City, advised women interested in the recreation field to get a general education instead of learning only one sport very well.
Miss Euth Stout, associate dean of students at Washburn University advised, "if you're going to teach, you must like it. Teaching takes so much time that other activities are crowded out."
Miss Alma Eikerman, head of the design department at Wichita University, advised art students to do their best in the particular job in which they are occupied, and added, "a general knowledge of all muses of art is also essential."
Mrs. Will Menninger, speaking on women in the home and community, said that requirements for a good home-maker are the same as those for a good army officer. Good leadership, a mature personality, and ability to have a family feel and act as a group are necessary qualifications for successful home-makers.
Miss Louise Noble, regional welfare consultant of Kansas City, stressed a good foundation in sociology, psychology, and humanities, combined with a year or two of actual training in the profession.
At a luncheon concluding the conference, Mrs. Menninger pointed to the homemakers responsibilities of giving the world better children with healthy minds and bodies, and helping in their communities.
urban training "Modern civilization with its complexities is truly in need of social welfare. Countless occupations in types of social work are open for women," she said.
Dr. Clara Nigg, who received the alumn award for outstanding service in science, placed the responsibility of a better world on the social sciences.
"The world unit may be gotten more effectively by art and music than by medicine or science," she said.

Rain, Snow Halt Work On Union

One prefab, which will house the Veterans Bureau offices and the department of western civilization, is finished except for the outside asbestos covering and interior painting and floor sanding. Foundations are ready for the departments of secretarial training and a two-story classroom.
"Material is not the problem at present", Patterson said. "It's just the weather. We haven't been able to do any outside work for the last three weeks."
