From the London Telegraph.
The experiment made by a Postmaster
at St Annes in securing the services OF
girls as telegraph messengers has proved
SO successful that, after three months
trial, he contemplates employing girls
only in this special department. Candi
dates have applied from all parts of the
country. He finds them much more will
ing and expeditions than boys; they waste
no time, and women's rights advocates
will rejoice TO learn that the girls, paid
at the same rate as the boys, are actually
by reason of their smartness earning
most money. They have no distinctive I'M
form, but are recognizable by the bust
nesslike way they steer the Office byci-
cies through streets.
II must not be assumed that the sue
cess attending the introduction of girl
telegraph messengers In place Of lads at
ST. Anne's on-Sea will be followed by the
extension OF the experiment to other
towns. or that the authorities of st.
