quality. So, you see. there Is some
satisfaction In knowing that the bread
and butter she gets with the glass OF
milk contains much more nutriment
than ordinary bread and butter. and
that she Is getting good luncheon
for cents"
AS has been said, Miss stevenson's
Id "a goes beyond merely furnishing pure
food. She thinks her relation to the
workers in the business, Of whom there
are upwards of 800. is as Important
a consideration In her general scheme
as her duty to her patrons.
I'VE don't expect TO reform the
world" says the young manager. but
there's right and wrong way of
carrying on an industry. and we are
aiming at the right way. ! believe that
the worker should get something more
out Of her work than her weekly wage;
something less tangible but none the
less valuable. She should get some en-
joyment out Of IT. and this is quite
possible II the work Is suited to her
and she is doing weil--as well as she
can.
Perhaps 1t seems out of the qucs-
ton for some of our workers to get
enjoyment out of the kind of work they
do For instance" Miss Stevenson con-
tfnued, looking across the labyrinthire
kitch an to a sturdy woman who was
on her knees. scrubbinF the hardwood
floor. there's scrubwonian over there.
That doesn't seem work that anyone
could get employment out Of. but she
does, because she takes pride in do
ing II just as we'll as 1t can be done.
She respects her work. And she gets
out of I the same enjoyment that our
pastry cook does when she brings out
of the oven baking Of cake done Just
light enough and just brown Enough.
They are interested in their work
and Interested in the success of the in
dutry. and each Of them in her own
particular place is Just as essential to
the successful working of the whole as
our highest salaried worker who works
with head and not with hands
What these people who like TO pro-
mulgate unfavorable opinions of the
effect OF college education on a girl
viii have to say in Miss Stevenson's
ease will be interesting to hear. Before
she went to Radcliffe. as graduate
student--Just as many other girls go
there because of the opportunities it
offers for advanced work through its
affiliation with Harvard University of
which 1t is practically the woman's de-
partment-Miss Stevenson took her
A. B. at Converse College in South
Carolina. There she specialized in
chemistry from q love of the science.
In fact. she gave so much of her time
to that branch of study that she thought
she had neglected other things, partic-
ularly English composition and litera-
ture, and 1t was to make up this def
cheney that she afterwards became a
student in Cambridge, where. too. she
later made her first start in scientific
breadbaking
! When she finished her studies at Rad
cliffe. Miss Stevenson went to Toronto
to assist in @ unique educational plant
known as Agnes Smith House, where
she had the household management of
the institution for q year or more. 1t
was while in Agnes Smith House that
she met the four Toronto girls who,
since the Inauguration of the restaur-
ant enterprise. have been at her right
hand in different departments. a
