One of the most interesting of the annual reports was that of the In dustrial department, prepared by Mabel Cronise Jones, chairman. It follows, in part: "During the entire twelve months just past, save for the summer vaca tion. one night weekly has been de voted to our industrial girls. On this special night, which is now Friday night, this building is .theirs. The classes, teachers and clubroom are theirs. Naturally many of them are often hero on other nights for club meetings and for social afTairs, but Priday is their special time. They practically "own the building" then. During this past year there have been arranged for their benefit free classes in Bible, English, knitting, which was wonderfully popular— millinery, first aid, current events, dressmaking and sooial culture. These classes had no fee attached. The large classes in gym and cooking were also practically free. Workers Hntliiiainntie "Words literally fail when we try to express our keen appreciation of the teacherß and of these classes, ot the leaders of the noon centers, and the leaders of the clubs; these splen did women have give ntheir time without remuneration; they have been prompt and diligent and enthusiastic. The girls and women who are 'aiding tc-day in the Industrial work of this association form a group of workers that it would be hard to parallel in a city many times the size of Harris burg. The Industrial department has to-day a body of women well equipped intellectualy and spiritually for this all-important work of ours. They are self-sacrificing and unself ish. Our industrial secretary, Miss Nagle, who was with us for the first half of 1917, accepted a position in Easton and we were supremely for tunate in securing for our Industrial work Miss Lois G. Scott, the general sfcretary of Bradford. Some of the outstanding events of the past year In the industrial lines are the great amount of social serv ice work done by every industrial cluhr—often at a genuine personal sacrifice; the quick response of the girls to the Red Cross appeals; their readiness to serve in every possible manner; their numerous sociai affairs In this building often averaging two or three weekly and displaying much genuine wit and inherent ability; the entertainments and Christmas treats provided by the Industrial girls for many poor families and also for cer tain philanthropic institutions. 3lany Aetlvelea "Some of the more pretentious af fairs * members they had secured.
