A field Which Has Attracted very MANY
bright Creatures.
There seems 10 be great setting in OF
the tide If working women toward jour
nalism. tits alittle curious that women
who have failed In many methods of
breadwinning should think it easy to
write for the newspapers and edit great
journals. Possibly the easy style that Is
in reality the perfection OF good journal
ism seems to require only ready pen
and a moderate fund Of general informa-
ton. Women soon learn their mistake.
They learn that absolute correctness
reliability. punctuality, and. above all,
adaptiveness, are absolutely necessary to
even moderate success. Besides this they
must hate what Is technically known in
the profession as "a liking for the BUSH
ness and willingness to do that which
they can do best.
II win not do for fashion writer to
write up" a great religious or political
convention, although women's versatil-
t ity In Journalism Is a source Of never
ending surprise TO men. A newspaper
woman win write a pathetic sketch, re-
port fashionable wedding. make up a
practicable menu, give charming ac-
count OF some other woman's new gown
with fidelity to details in many cases
quite beyond mans comprehension or
ability, write up the seasons openings,
compile fashion article correct as to
style and novelty, and in addition write
advertisements, read proof, set type, do
typewriting, write on pinch credita-
BILE editorial. and in the interim attend to
her household and social duties.
The successful editor Of today recog-
nizes that the home and the fireside must
receive due and proper attention in his
paper, and that what may be called
"women's news" has developed wonder
fully IN the last few years. Matter about
and fer women that Is helpful and In
structive must appear in each issue. Who

woman
As to the individual success Of women
and their compensation, nothing very
positive can be asserted. In no other
profession does ability so quickly receive
recognition as in journalism. There ar,
not so many bright minds OF good idea!

Close observation shows that teaching Is
one OF the most wearing occupations for
women. Even the hard working clerk,
typewriter, journalist or seamstress, with
longer hours and more drudgelike employ
ment, keeps her health and strength bet
ter through five years Of continuous servs
ice than does the average school teacher.
The girl who begins with erect carriage
and rosy cheeks will be seen In the course
Of few years TO have lost both. Much Of
this Is attributed 20 the nervous strain nee
essary for the regular routine of governing
often an unruly class and at the same time
teaching the required studies But allow
ing that teaching Il hard work, withoat
entering into the reasons, certainly moth
ing should he neglected which adds phys
zeal comfort TO these positions of honor,

strive by enthusiasm in their work and by
q noble example to make teaching a pro
fession.
1t would seem to be absurd to declare IL
IN their right to occupy only rooms which
can be properly heated and ventilated, and
yet IL Is not too strong statement 90 say
that, 10 the writer's knowledge, one girl
last winter owed a severe attack Of pnen-
nonia to the low temperature OF her room,
while others suffered more or less from the
same cause. Because there are conditions
over which the teachers themselves have
little or no control, they should be- all the
more carefully attended to by those who
do.
There Ii another consideration, however.
