In large port, the economic trend of the nation. "In many ot the rural communi ties the form women, although they are comparatively untrained, kept the schools open through sheer de termination. In manufacturing cities they banded together to give the un employed work and study for their enforced leisure." From her office at the Consumers' Advisory Board, another woman lead er, Emily Newell Blair, former vice president of the national Democratic party, has been, watching tho turn of events with a feeling of enthus iasm concerning the placo of women in the American picture. "For the first time the woman's viewpoint has been written Into the pattern of Industrial economy," she says. "The old philosophy was com pletely a man's pattern, built on the profit motive. "Now women liave a chance, both as executives and as a buying force, to see that some emphasis is placed on happiness and human welfare. They united as the 'now deal' un folded, for example, to Insist on stan dards that would write the sweat shop out of the American picture.
