article which appeared in the February 1964 issue of our magazine — The National Business Woman. Entitled "A New Trend: More Women in Sciences," the article outlines the academic requirements for a career in all of the sciences and the salaries which can be anticipated in each field. We are all aware that many of our young women today head for a career as they map their college programs. Many of them, however, with sheep skin in hand, go on to lose themselves in the career of marriage and family, not realizing that 70 per cent of them will work 25 years of their adult lives. All of which bears out the absolute necessity for the establishment of specific vocational goals for all young people. Opportunities for continuing education must be made available for every adult. The world of today demands highly skilled and highly educated manpower. It is our hope that, with the emphasis we are placing on youth-power in our "Partnership With Youth" program, our members who are engaged in careers in science and engineering will make themselves available for counseling and guidance assistance in youth programs.
