“To a girl who is fond of traveling and meeting people there can be no more delightful work than Chautauqua work,” declared Miss Morris, advance agent for the Swarthmore Chautauqua. She went on to say that there are unlimited possibilities in the Chautauqua work for the girl who wishes to express herself in some other service than teaching or actual missionary work.
“I have taught school and was attached to the peace conference in the State Department after the war, but in neither of these could I find means of expression and the real joy of service as I have in the Chautauqua.
“Of course there are many hardships in the way of train and living accommodations,” she concluded, “but these discomforts seem nothing in comparison with the happiness one finds in doing the work one really loves to do.”
