abson Urges Women To Learn Trades For Post-War
h
Says Inflation

•Days Of Glamor And
Ease Will Be Over
For Americans'
EARNING A LIVING AFTER
THE WAR
Babson Urges All Women to
Have Trades
BABSON PARK, Florida. Feb.
IS—I have recently been study-
ing the catalogs of colleges —
especially those for women. 1
find the inclusion of certain
First Aid and other war cour-
ses; but otherwise the subjects
covered are the same as if no
war existed. I find almost no
courses—other than secretarial
—which prepare students to se
cure an income for themselves
after the v.ar.
What Are Colleges Teaching
When talking with college
presidents they ask me why 1
am so anxious about what will
happen to the students after
the war is ever? Some say: "Our
task is to get the students to
register and to graduate ihem.
The girls will get married and
the boys will get drafted;—so
why worry?" They also com-
plain that gifts are falling off.
the income from endowments is
declining and they simply can-
not afford to take on any new
instructors or experiment with
new courses.
All the above may lie true,
but I am sure that if college
presidents realize the terrific
changes which our young people
are to face after World War II
they will find some way to help
them. Just as our youths were
allowed to think America was
preparing '"for defense—short of
war" and then were to be draft-
ed "for only one year" and und-
er no circumstances "would he
sent out of the country," these
same young people are now be
ing lulled into a happy dream
as to economic conditions after
the war. Only six month ago I
was told at Washington "we can
lick Japan with our hands tied
behind our backs." May we not
now he getting similar falf^e
ideas as to what Japan and Ger-
many will do to us industrially
] after we lick them in a military
; way
After War Conditions
I now have no fears of Com-
munism or Naziism. The so-call
ed capitalistic system will con-
tinue; stocks and bonds will not
be wiped out. The government
may take over banking and cer-

Straight through your wak-
ing hours the Life Bra Ward-
robe assures new poise,
greater comfort, feminine
loveliness. Life lifts to
womanly charm and holds
it comfortably, health-
fully. In pocket widths to
take care of every age and
degree of development.

tain other big industries; but
more new privately-owned in-
dustries will rise up to take
their places. But taxes on stocks
and bonds may be terrible.
Those who expect to live on the
interest of what they inherit
may get a very sad surprise.
Other people—the socalled mid-
dle class—will be crushed by in-
flation caused by the huge gov-
ernment debt that this country
will have after World War II.
The above means that—mar-
ried or single — almost every
woman reader will be obliged tc
earn some money if she hopes
to maintain her present stand-
ard of living. And why not? Our
great grandmothers raised large
families of children without any
conveniences and yet earned
considerable money to help ou~.
their husbands' meager income.
It might have been by weaving
or sewing or by tending other
people's children, or by nursing
the sick, or by helping tend
her husband's store, or by hav-
ing hens or pigs or hives of
bees of her own.
For not many years after
World War II will woven have
either money to take bridge
lessons, or time to play bridge.
A few years of "prosperity" will
follow ' during the reconstruc-
tion period; but after that —look
out. Those who have some en-
terprise and are good workers
will enjoy a fair standard of liv
ing; but those who expect to
live lives of ease, will be great-
ly disappointed. The days of
playboys and glamour girls will
be over. Once more the Bible
doctrine that "those who do not
work shall not eat." (See II
Thess. 3:10) will again be the
good old rule; it is the law by
which civilization grew. The fit-
test will survive .reproduce and
be happy, but God help th
rest.
Our nation is to be burdened
by a terrible debt which will
raise havoc with every family
whether the debt is paid or de-
faulted. If it. is paid, we all will
be crushed by high taxes; if it
is redeemed with newly print
ed money, we all will suffer
from high prices; while if it is
defaulted then "good night" far
our banks and insurance com-
panies which now are the prin-
cipal holders of these bonds.
Employment, except at low
wages, will be very difficult due
to the terrible competition which
is coming from Europe and Asia
after the war is over. We can
disarm our enemies; but we can't
prevent them from working 12
hours a day at 10 cents a day
and underselling us in all world
and many domestic markets.
Watch Your Children's
Educations
I am constantly being asked,
"What can we parents do to
answer is: "Have all your child-
prepare for such events?" My
ren get a useful „ education.
Have even the girls learn some
trade, art, or profession by
which they can help out their
husband's income or 'pinch-hit'
for him if he is out of work or
ill. Never mind if these girls
don't get a college-'degree.' (State
University degrees are pretty to
look at; but they are too stiff
to eat, too small for clothes,
and too frail for shingling the
roof."
