For

Miss Bennett, in her talk stressed
the value of following tho vocation
for which one is best fitted, and the
Importance of correlating one's stud
des so that a general as well as a specific preparation may bo obtained.
"Among the employments open for
women," she said, "the foremost is
teaching. Never was teaching more
attractive than it is today, and never
was there a greater scarcity of teachers. Then, there is ,the call for women in the social service field; in the
settlements, charitable organizations,
vocational advisers for boys and girls,
and visiting teachers. The call for
women in the secretarial field is also
great.
"There are no? many new occupations since the war. One of these
new vocations is the work of employ
ment management. Employment is a
profession and should be worked out
scientifically.
The advertising business is also a new ileld open to women.
More people arc investing money in
advertising today than ever before,
and the advertising agency wants
bright, clever women, who have a
good knowledge of English, Economics
and the psychology of advertising.
In concluding. Miss Bennett said:
"It is up to the women of the country,
and to ithe college women in partic
ular, to solve the solution to the economic unrest, which is necessitated
by the increase in production, and the
great shortage of trained women all
over the country. One should choose
the thing he is qualified to do, then
go out and do it. Good health is ab
solutely essential to be successful in
any occupation, and it is all a matter
'Of social service."

Thirty students from tho University

the college and consider the claims
of the Christian life.
The only cost that the University

conference will be $1.00 for registration fee, and $2.24 round trip railroad

Immediately upon their return from

the seniors in the College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering will
take up their theses work. In accordance with past custom the class will
be organized on a drafting-roobasis

the design of new machine tools and
mechanical laboratories for tho University of Kentucky. The design will
be thorough in every respect and will
represent a definite part of the proposed extension

Among the most interesting of past
theses have been the design of a great

It was with sincere regret that tho editors of tho Kernel mado tho
announcement last Saturday that there would bo no issue of the paper last
week. The cause of tho paper not appearing lay not with the staff, as tho
copy was prepared as usual, and placed in the hands of the printer. Owing
to the fact, however, that at this season there is an increased demand for
printing, the office of the printer was overflooded with work which mado
Impossible an Issue of the University paper last week. The editors are
sincerely hopeful, and they have the assurance of the printer that such an
unfortunate occurence will not be repeated in tho history of the Kernel's
work.

PARE SOMEWHERE ELSE.
When the present generation dies, who follow? When tho leaders
of today have served their turn of usefulness, who take their places at
thd head of government? Tomorrow, who will form the nerves and brains
of the body politic? The bone, the muscles will be here, but what will
move them?
Who indeed shall these be but the youth of the land, trained in the
highest and best Its educational system has to offer? These alone must
safely guide the State in dts future course, and on the completeness and
thoroughness of their training depends the decision of the Fates as to the
future Commonwealth. If they fall, If they are lacking when the hour
comes for them to take their posts, spectres of 'Decay and Ruin will snatch

The tentative budget that has been formed for the action of the Legislature is inadequate in its recommendations for appropriations to the
University. The Kernel has no word of adverse criticism upon the budget
committee. No doubt that body is doing the right thing as it sees It. But
the unalterable fact is that If the present recommendation is accepted
the University of Kentucky will be gravely handicapped in its efforts to
train the future citizen of the State for the manifest duties of the home.
The current year is a critical one, for the moral and Intellectual tides
of the times are at low ebb. Serious thought and unswerving devotion to
high principle, sacrifice of self for future generations, and prayerful wisdom these must be the motives that move men to their duties. Temporary makeshifts, and patches in the fabric of society may be fatal to the
future. We must build for tomorrow; build on the solid foundation of
worth and training as men build who love their children more than they do
