Where can the girl turn for the life giving atmosphere? To the church? Yes, if the church were awake to the facts and equipped to meet her needs. But what a small part of our country's girlhood comes into direct contact with the church, and how few churches have adequate leadership provided for those whom it does touch. The whole problem of adolescence is a problem of leadership. A wise leader has almost unlimited power in charging the atmosphere with the spirit of uplift. The church _must_ furnish leadership. It _must_ guide or lose its youth. It must advise with practical, possible advice. Perhaps the day will come when groups of churches will unite in forming social centers and the business men of those churches shall _seriously_ consider the problem of where girls shall meet their young men friends and how they shall spend their evenings together. Perhaps some day the men of the church will select in their community a good, clean moving picture house, and there are some, where they can advise their young people to go, helping them thus to escape the snare of those who cater to evil. Those most deeply interested in a girl's religion, have come to see its relation to every other phase of her life, and to know that one may not snatch amusements from the lives of young people, giving nothing in return. Just what is wisest to give in return is our great problem. The church _must_ meet it and it needs help. The time is ripe and more than ripe for the direct appeal to the home. It should be made through every avenue and in every language. It should be made through every newspaper and printed in every tongue--"_Responsibility_ belongs to the home." All sorts of homes must help in making the atmosphere in which a young girl must live, _safe_, free from poisons that mean suffering and in the long run death to the best things. I happened one day in a smoke laden city upon a group of women in one of the residential districts who were meeting together to see if all the families for a certain number of blocks east and west would promise to use only hard coal in their homes. One of the women, the mother of three young children, pictured vividly the difference it would make in the atmosphere their children must breathe and closed her appeal by saying, "But women, it means that we must _all_ burn it. The help one or two of us can give amounts to almost nothing. Into each of our cellars the hard coal must go and each of us must insist upon using nothing else. Then we shall have clean, pure air for our babies to breathe throughout all this section." She had stated the answer to the whole problem of bringing inspiration to our girls. It will need _every_ home and _every_ church to keep the atmosphere clean and invigorating.
