WHAT / SHALL Do
GRACE MITCHELL
1909 Stevenson Street, San Francisco,
Cal. Seventh Grade, Mission Gram
mar school. Age II Years


Although 1 am only a little girl OF
13 years, 1 have fully decided what L
shall do when L am grown up.
My first ambition was to be a stenog-
rapher, but l soon gave up that thought
as it is too conining. / then became
anxious to be a school teacher. How
/ would get the children of the neigh
borhood together and play schools,
When you are teaching boys and girls
what l am learning now, you are not
watching the slow minutes drag
along.
School is called at and dismissed
at 8.
/ think it is very profitable posi-
tion and you are doing good for otal-
ers as well as for yourself. Just think
of it. Is there anything better? I
don't think so.
l will be finished with grammar
school In one year. [ am then going
to high school and from there through
normal school.
l don't think any little boy or girl
would be making mistake by study
ing for the same position as 1 am.

PAS Montgomery Street, San Jose. High

In the beginning of my CAREER in
life l expect to be in the stationery
business. 1 expect to have a room
about 80 by 15 feet for my store and
my capital Will have to. be about S., 900
to start in with.
The reason 1 want to be a stationery
man is because l work in stationery
store and l will not have to study up
much, as l know a good deal about it
If 1 should be a bookkeeper or short
hand writer 1T would not pay by the
time I got through my schooling, as
the wages go lower every year be-
cause so many people do II. When the
time comes for going in business I
