The after affects of the late war and how it touched little Fruienle and the perious connected with her, were porpoised by Mahin's story. The antagonism of the various nations that participated in the war as well as the individuals at the time the peace terms were being negotiated, was pictured in the read-

Field of Medicine Has Few Women, Says Dr. Sherbon
Objections to Profession
to Be Discussed During
Vocation Week
in March
"It is appropriate and necessary that more women should enter medicine and take part in research, practice and administration as opening up in the fields of child health and welfare, pediatrics, and especially obstetrics," was the statement made this morning by Dr. Florence Sherborn, of the University of Alabama, in answer to questions regarding her plans for the first day of "Choose Your Career" week, which will be held the first week in March.
"Few, if any, more women are entering medicine now than ten years ago. This is a rather serious situation." Doctor Sherbon then said "The doctors are given different students for not entering the medical field;
Medical Education Expensive
1. A medical education now means at least six years of intensive schooling, after high school, so exacting that no women can possibly be self-supporting unless she spreads the course over several additional years, and before graduating only few women can compass it under present-day economical conditions.
2. The medical course is so hard and involves such a thorough grounding in abstract science it rules out many women who have a desire for service but little capacity for clear science.
3. The preparation and training is so difficult and the practice of medicine often so much of a strain upon the health and strength of a woman that many families violently oppose medicine as the daughter's vocation, or to punish her on the part of men medical students and professional competitors.
5. The uncertainty of financial returns commensurate with the money and time invested.
Objections Can Be Met
6. The difficulty the medical woman faces who wishes to realize the normal human experience of wifehood and motherhood.
"I believe all these objections can be met; I know they have been met by many women who have been successors," Dr. Elverson said. "On Monday of Vocations Week, the first week in March, Dr. Elverson Ernest of Topica will talk from the standpoint of success in private practice. Dr. Maurea DeLand of the Topica State Hospital will tell about openings for medical women.
"One of the senior medical women from Rosdale will tell of her experience as a medical student in the University of Kansas. Possibly other women will talk fromexperienced couples homemaking and welfare work."
According to Doctor Sherbon, it is the purpose of the committee to lay all sides of the question open for discussion and invite questions and private comments on the part of any and all women students who are interested in the subject.
Rogers Talks to Classes
Editor Addresses Students on Advertising Problems
Jason Rodgers, editor of the Advertisers' Weekly and formerly publisher of the New York Globe, talked about the classes in journalism today.
His talk to the 2:30 class dealt with newspaper advertising. "No advertise advertising," said Mr. Rogers. To advertise effectively he believed that one should have a definite thing to sell, a definite purpose and also a definition.
Mr. Rogers stated that, according to the 1924 income tax report, of the 387,000 corporations in the United States, 12,500 were doing a business of more than $100,000, and of these latter corporations only 1,000 of them were national advertisers. In conclusion Mr. Rogers said that "the sky was the limit in this particular field.
In talking to the 10:30 class, Mr. Rogers told of the service of the New York Globe to the public. The New York Globe was established in 1785 and became a publication in 1911. Roller became business manager, Mr. Wright being editor.
