most in every business house in the
world.
During the past five years its rise in
able. the number of machines in use
each year increasing % per cent over
the year before Statistics prepared
by one of our large typewriter COM
panies show twice as many machines
in the tri-cities as there were three
years ago, and three times as many
as were five years ago.
From these figures it may readily
be seen that there is no immediate
danger of the stenographic profess
sion becoming overcrowded. Another
reason why this is so, is presented
by a clever statistician who says that
each year one out of four women
stenOgraphers desert the ranks of the
profession for marriage
This would seem to give the lie to
those who would have us believe that
a modern girl prefers the freedom
of a life of work to the bondage of
matrimonial responsibility. II the fig
ures of the two gentlemen from whom
these statistics have been secured are
correct, then the entire field of stenog-
raphy would have to be reflled every
three and a half years. Local school
statistics, while they show a constant
ly improved condition in Rock Island,
do not show enough of an increase to
keep up with what seems TO be the de-
mand along this line.
