The establishment of a national
training school for secretaries by the
Young Women's Christian association
at Omaha is not to be wondered at.
The women who are at the head of
this great organization easily realize
the advantage to be gained through
having headquarters here and merely
use their business experience in deter
mining the location. Omaha has been
a center for the work for a long time
and in no place has it been more effec-
