Serbian girls walk and knit. Peasant girls in Serbia improve each shining hour by knitting on their way to market. In this way not a moment is lost in their hard working lives. Most of the wool that they use is carded by them and made into stockings and various warm things for the cold winter. Serbian women are industerious [sic] and not only accomplish all the domestic tasks usually alloted to their sex but perform much of the hardest labor of the fields and farms. Thousands of young girls in this war ravaged country are idly drifting into womanhood because they are without fathers or mothers or homes. If the Junior Red Cross of America carries on with its plans of instituting industrial and vocational training school centers in different parts of Serbia it will mean that these helpless war victims will have within their reach means of becoming skilled in some useful occupation that will assure their future independence
