In most hospitals nurses are not taken

That would give you two years in which

AN INTERESTED READER.
You write an excellent letter, my dear.
1t is well expressed: you have good,
clear handwriting; you spell. punctuate
and paragraph correctly. Your equip
ment seems good for making proof
reading business. Yes, proofreading
pays very well. / have known of ex-
perts in 1t who received $50 and $50
employed in printing houses and had
often begun as practical printers and
worked their way up. I do not know OF
any women proofreaders who do that
and nothing else. In every newspaper
there are proofreaders, of course. but
they, too. are men. So are the proof
readers in magazine Offices; but. as I
have said to another inquirer who wrote
to me on this subject, such proefread-
ers are often college graduates or highly
educated men. who do much besides
mere proofreading. They help in the
makeup of the magazine and attend to
variety of the details connected with
the magazine. know there is school
for proofreaders in Chicago, and there
may be others. But do they find post
tions for their graduates? 1 would be
glad of further information on this sub
ject from any of my girls. Does IAN
