2.  Systematic attention to the work of the schoolroom.  Thus the
     girl acquires habits of concentration and industry that she
     will need all her life.

  3.  Some manual work in kitchen, garden, sewing room, or workshop. 
     Here the girl’s natural tastes and inclination may be
     discovered and trained.

  4.  Food for the imagination.  Books, music, pictures, inspiring
     plays.  The Campfire Girls’ movement is valuable in its
     imaginative aspect.

  5.  Attention to dress.  Laying the foundation for wise lifelong
     habits.

  6.  Healthful social intercourse under the best conditions with
     boys and with other girls, both at home and at school.  Croquet,
     tennis, skating, offer fine opportunities for such
     intercourse.  “Parties,” dancing, present more difficulties, but
     have their value under right conditions.  Not all “fun” should
     include the boys.  Athletic contests between girls do much to
     develop a neglected side of girl nature.

  7.  Companionship with her mother, or some other woman of
     experience.  Nothing can quite take the place of this.  The girl
     is sailing out upon an uncharted sea.  She needs the help of
     someone who has sailed that way before.

  8.  Preparation for marriage and motherhood.  Much that the girl
     should know can come to her through no other medium than that
     indicated in the preceding paragraph—­confidential intercourse
     with the woman of mature years.  For the sake of the girls who
     fail to find this woman elsewhere every school for adolescent
     girls should have on its faculty a woman who will “mother” its
     girls.

  9.  Acquaintance with the lives of some of the great women of
     history, as well as of some who have lived inspiring lives in
     the girl’s own country and time.  A long list of such women
     might be made.

  10.  Some unoccupied time.  Our girl must not be permitted to
     acquire the bad habit of rushing through life.

  11.  Study of vocations and avocations for women.  Avocations—­the
     work which serves as play—­should be wisely studied, and some
     avocation adopted by every girl.

Part of this training girls everywhere in this country may get if the opportunities open to them are seized.  The proportion of purely mental work and of handwork will vary according to the locality in which the girl finds herself.  In general, however, such matters receive more consideration than the more complex ones of direct social bearing.
