SHERMAN GIRL
Those who knew Miss Mary Carmack McDougal during the two years she was a Kidd-Key student in this city will be much interested in the work she is doing now.

A recent issue of the New York World contained a full page story of the prominent women of the country who are in Washington.  Among those given special mention were Ida M. Tarbell, Dr. Alice C. Boughton, Mrs. Montanye Perry, Mrs. Ethel H. Sanford, Mrs. Mina C. Van Winkle, Miss Gertrude Battles Lane, Mrs. Alice Bond Allen, Mrs. Harriett S. Blatch, Miss M. Hilton, Miss Florence Wardwell and Miss Mary Carmack McDougal of Supulpa.

Of Miss McDougal the writer says:
"Miss Mary Carmack McDougal, who drove a car up Pike's Peak, is a social worker, a publicity expert and a trained speaker and organizer.  Out in Oklahoma she edited a magazine, started a better babies' contest and worked in the state legislature for the passage of notable social welfare measures.  In 1916 she campaigned in Kansas for President Wilson and spoke not only in schools and theaters, but was particularly successful in conducting street meetings.

"She had three years of literary work in college and one year of newspaper experience.  For a year she edited the Oklahoma Club Woman, a monthly magazine and the official organ of the Oklahoma State Federation of Women's Clubs.  She has done publicity for the County Humane Society, the Red Cross, Boy Scouts, New York State Woman's Suffrage party, and many other organizations.  She passed a year in special sociological study at the University of Oklahoma.
