Some Facts About How
Young Women Are
Trained For Life's
Work.
BY Bertha Browning.

In city the size of Canton, which
mas two business colleges, many stem
ographers are developed.
The time she spends upon her prep
aration varies according to her ability
and the sort of position she desires
to hold. If she is unusually apt and
has a good general education, she
may be ready for a position in a few
months. If she learns slowly, or be-
gins the course when she is very
young it will probably take her
year or more.
When she has finished her course
of study she must often wait a con
siderable length of time before she
can secure position, as the average
firm makes experience require
ment. She can often get this expert
ence by substituting.
All stenographers agree that ex-
perience counts more than education
in their work, though other things be-
ing equal the we'll educated girl can
command the best positionA
The girl who begins her work in
Canton can usually command from
three or eight dollars a week, al.
though there is an occasional excep-
tion. Law offices, stenographers say,
usually pay the least and large manu-
featuring and wholesale firms thd
most. However, the girl whose sal.
airy is small can often take time to
do work for some one who does not
employ stenographer regularly and
her employer usually pays her for ex-
ira work. In city of this size the
best salaries paid are from sixty to
seventy-dve dollars month.
The girl who is ambitious to sue
coed is not satisfied to let her office
work be bhe extent of her preparation
for a better position. She practices
at night, and tries in every way to
perfect her work, so that when a
better position offers she is ready for
it. She realizes, however, frequent
changes of position are not wise, and
usually keeps a position as long as
there is any hope for advancement.
To keep her position the stenog.
rapher must make few mistakes or
none When she begns her work her
employer is considerate and bends
any necessary assistance, but when
she becomes familiar with her duties
she must depend upon herself.
When asked their reasons for TAX
ing up the work some girls gave as
their reasons that they wished to earn
money that they might have nicer
clothes than their parents could af-
ford to provide for them. Some found
it necessary to earn their own living,
or to help provide for their families,
and others merely wished 10 earn
spending money.
Most of the girls stated that their
hours were too long. They are re-
quired in many instances to be at
their desks at 1880 a. m. and to work
until $3.50 p. m. with a recess of one
hour at noon.
The majority of girls we're OF the
opinion stenographer's matrimonial
chances are excellent. Her opportun-
tiles for meeting eligible men vary of
course with the kind of position she
holds. They stated that a smaller
per cent Of Canton stenographers mar
ried their employers than those who
work in larger cities.
All the stenographers interviewed |
were attractive and we'll dressed and
fairly well contented with their So
cial opportunities.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TASK

Washington, Dec. 22.-one of tho
Christmas gifts from President Taft

The president has been working on

nuaI message. He has before him an
enormous pile of documentary evil
dence and testimony. On several of
his recent trips the president has talk
en- some of these documents with him
and he has never lost an opportunity
TO wade into the matter.
1t was made known today that a de-
cision had not been reached but that
Mr.. Taft will announce his findings
by Christmas.
He is now within striking distance
of the end Of the case and the state
ment that the decision will be out

TO NOW ATTACK
THE CAPITAL
Two Thousand Prisoners
Expected to Go With
Estrada.
AMERICANS JOIN HIM

New Orleans, Dec. 22.-Advices from
Coton are to the effect that in the
battle at Rama the zelaya, or govern
ment forces lost 500 in killed and
wounded and Estrada $50. Nineteen
hundred of the government troops
were captured and returned to Blue
fields where they will be imprisoned
unless they consent to serve in Es-
trada's army, which they will prob
ably do.
AS soon as the revolutionists forces
are recruited in this way and the am
1nunition on the way from New Or
leans is received Estrada will begin
his march on Managua, the capital.
This will be by way of Greytown and
boat on the San Juan river, through
which it is expected to reach Lake
Nicaragua and Managua. The expedi-
ton will be about 1000 strong and
will include a number of American
volunteers.
Washington, Dec. 22.-The disas-
trous defeat of the Zelaya forces near
Rama was reported to the navy de-
partment today by Commander John
II. Shipley, commanding officer Of the
cruiser Des Moines and the senior ma
val officer at Bluefelds.
Commander Shipley is prepared to
land force of about 300 men in case
of emergency but no force has been
landed yet.
Bluefields, Dec. 22.--(By wireless to
Colon "details have reached here of
the fighting at Recreo, which was the
fiercest engagement of the revolution
thus far The losses on both sides
were heavy. A steamer that has ar
rived here from Rama, short distance
from Recreo, brought 256 wounded.
One hundred Zelayists were cap
tured and brought here. All of them
appear to be in very distressed con-
dition, the result of exposure and lack
of food.
The Americans with Gen. Estrada
fought well, and received praise from
their leaders. The Zelayists are fiee-
ing in disorder. 1t is believed that
they will reassemble at Chilli to make
their final resistance.
