Jury Awards Pension
By MABEL WARNER RUGG.
,'ea girls have drifted from
school into schoolteaching by
thousands, not because
they felt any particular call or inter
est in the profession, not because
they were particularly fitted for it,
but because it appeared the only
respectable thing they could do for
a living untjl they got a husband.
In later years a large part of this
non-resistant mass of femininity has
been caught into the current of busi
ness life and has drifted- into the
BJk waters of stenography.
"his is not in any way a reflec
tion on stenography as a vocation,
for it is one of the most direct steps
to business success. By the "bark
waters of stenography" I mean :hat
part of the profession'which holds
the misfits, the "key-pounders'" who
are the bane of every business man's
life? the familiar faces in every em
ployment office; those who will be
earning 10 years from now very
much the same mediocre salary they
earned when they began. ,
Stenography Fundamentals. - ,
Before you1 attempt stenography
at all, find out whether you have
the following fundamentals, neces
sary to efficiency. Do you' have a
capacity for detail? Are you de
pendable not, in matters of honor
alone, hut more in matters of mem
ory. Will you keep appointments,
and remember other persons' ap-
intments? Have you a keen sense
time? Do you gain quick and
accurate impressions?. Is .your
hearing good? Are .you naturally
observant Is your reactioa ' time
fast on perception? flave you suf
ficient Vocabulary? Is your knowl
edge of English structure good
enough to supplement your employ
er's possible lacks in that direction?
! If you are not qualified, do not
waste time in" learning to pound
keys; foiythat is all you will ever
do. Antf forever banish the in'sane
idea that there is no place for. you
in the business world not already
filled to overflowing. Listen, for
a moment to me story of oopme
Delevan. president of tW National
Woman's Association of Commerce
inVChicago. Six years agoshe started
out with an Idea and $65,'Sroday
she is worth $650,00(fc Her idea?
Mariufacturine doll wigs, afflf dis
tributing them all over the, .Amer
ican continent. ' ' "i
The Two Little Clerks,
Two little clerks, turned off by th-f
Union Pacific lately, came into my
office the other day, "tired to death
of
of shuffling tickets. They weren't
fitted for clerical work. I told them
the story I have told you of Sophie
Delavan, and her planning and
working on her own business, nurs
ing it from a baby attempt to a
flourishing industry.
We planned together and those
two bright-eyed girls are forming a
partnership to make and market an
original little household de'licacy. If
they grow in ability and vision as
they have the capacity in them to
grow, this little project will develop
into a flourishing catering business.
These girls were noUthe type of
"would-be" business woman who
comes to work rouged and enameled.
They ' did not wear cerise, low
necked, geqrgetti blouses, nor bead
ed, black satin gowns,, fit for even
ing dress. , Neither was their hear
ing impeded by huge lumps of hair
over the cars. They were dressed
as a business woman should dress,
conservatively, with grace and
modesty;' their throats wece decently
covered; their skirts were decently
long. ,
If you go into the business world,
try to approximate such a rtiethod
of dressing yourself. If you are not
fitted for 'stenography, 'use your
imagination foK another business.
Jf you are fitted for stenography,
then find, out what type of business
you are best fitted for and use your
stenograpny to get into a stenog
rapher's position in that business.
Then work, work, work, using yodr
stenography as a means to an end,
for more success.
