and profit, if they would undertake some quite different line from their daily occupation such as basket making, modeling, pottery, book-binding, upholstery, or any other branch of industrial or fine arts.
If a troop of Citizen Scouts wishes to study industrial problems in their own trade or trades where other girls are employed, meetings may be arranged between the groups of girls in the different occupations. A sympathetic understanding of others needs will tend to create a better social stability. Self perfection and vocational advancement need not necessarily lead to selfishness and fancied superiority. In these discussions or debates outsiders may be invited to take part. A successful business woman might come to give her experience and help in the discussion. A troop scrap book of clippings from newspapers and magazines showing what is going on in the industrial world will be of interest.
