Bibles for Association Members

Mrs. Finlay Shepard (Miss Helen Gould) has repeated her offer of seven years' standing of a Bible to Asssociation members.

The offer is now open again until September 1, 1914, under the following conditions:

A copy of a Teacher's Bible, either Authorized or Revised Version, will be given to any member of the Young Women's Christian Association who will recite without error the passages from the Bible indicated in Mrs. Shepard's Scripture Passage Memorizing Leaflet. These passages should be recited in one or two sittings before some authorized person, preferably a Young Women's Christian Association secretary. This person will then make known to the publication depart ment of the National Board of Young Women's Christian Associations the full name and address of each one successful in this effort. With these data must also be sent a statement as to which version of the Bible is de

sired. The leaflets may be obtained from the publication department of the National Board, the price being twenty-five cents for a hundred, or five cents for twenty.

"Young Working Girls"

While compiled from settlement experience, this book, which appears under the name of Robert A. Woods of Boston, and with an introduction by Jane Addams, was judged to be so distinctly valuable for Association purposes when read in mss. form by a number of Association leaders, that a special edition has been is sued under the imprint of the National Board. The book, which sells for 60 cents in paper and $1.00 in cloth, is promised for the first of September. So adaptable does it seem to class use, among college seniors, for example, among volunteer workers, or for class or independent use by all hav

ing club work in a city Association, that a pamphlet containing suggestions for study and application to Association sociation purposes is being prepared by Miss Eliza Butler of the National staff, to accompany each order. The book may be ordered of the publication department, and it seems certain that this publication will be most eagerly welcomed.

From the compiler comes the following explanation:

"One of the most distinctive and most ominous social problems in American city life in these early years. of the twentieth century is the neglected one of the adolescent girl who works in our stores or factories and lives in our tenement districts. Much has been said and written about the boy problem; there has been a curious. feeling that the problem of the girl who lives at home was relatively simple and would in large degree take care of itself.

"The facts of city life have sternly roused the social workers in all our

cities out of any such complacency. During this decade, and especially within the last few years, a growing body of social workers have been devoting themselves to the study and practical amelioration of the problem. Two years ago the National Federation of Settlements set out to define the situation as it touched normal adolescent working girls between fourteen and eighteen years of age; to find out what practical expedients are most successful in meeting the need, and to outline on the basis of experience, broad lines of conservation and reconstruction.

"'Young Working Girls', which is the result of that inquiry, embodies the insight and practical experience of more than two thousand trained workers who are devoting themselves. to the interest of working girls, principally in settlements, but also in the Young Women's Christian Association, in girls' clubs, in the probation service, and in many other ways."

Cabot, are eagerly ordering copies for their friends, feeling that here, perhaps for the first time, has the difficult field of human relationships and sex education been treated as they would really wish.

Don't let September find your Association desk without a most indispensable part of its equipment-the Year Book for 1912-1913. Contains full Association Directory and an abundance of telling figures. Price 50

cents.

Asso

Everyone who picks up the new little Personal Account Book, flexible and itemized and small enough to accompany one everywhere in her handbag, is buying it and beginning to keep accounts on its practical plan. ciations should be ordering in quantity to sell in turn to the members. Price 15 cents; $1.50 per dozen. Nothing will more surely encourage saving, for which many Association members should have

The Savings Fund Account Book, which simplifies the opening and keeping of small accounts in the local Association. Price 10 cents; 85 cents per dozen. Both contain clear instructions.

The second edition of the Pageant, "The Ministering of the Gift," contains pictures of the Richmond and Silver Bay productions, and

fuller directions for giving the Pageant locally, as will be done by several Associations this fall. Price, 15 cents.

The national exhibit of sixty screens is reproduced in its most significant parts by photographs of the charts and explanatory notes in a leaflet called The Association Exhibit. Splendid for informational and publicity purposes, and as a guide to local exhibits. Price, 15 cents.

The Report of the World's Student Christian Federation Conference at Lake Mohonk should be in every Association library. It is more than a report-it is a book of "human documents" in the truest sense, and will make history. Price, 40 cents.

While you are ordering, send for some extra copies of the special Conference Number of THE ASSOCIATION MONTHLY for October. Price, 15

cents.

PUBLICATION DEPARTMENT, 600 Lexington Avenue, New York City

Conference Number of Association Monthly

For all who have been to summer conferences the October number of THE ASSOCIATION MONTHLY, which of late years has always been made a special conference number, has almost the attraction of a "memory-book." Here you find in full the sermon that stirred and satisfied you so, but which found you without notebook and pencil.

In the corners of the pages are pictures of just that view of the conference "campus" or just that group of people for which you had no filin left. THE ASSOCIATION MONTHLY for October, 1913. will come to you as usual if you are a subscriber; to others or for extra copies, it will be 15 cents (order of publication department). Several of the conferences were held this summer on new grounds; this fact and a group of the pageant pictures will make the illustrative department more interesting than ever.
