The story of the politician or the
writer who got his education in a
print shop is an old one and applies
to such lot of men that it no longer
produces any thrills in those who hear
it, but now we are hearing of a KAN
sas woman who is attaining success
by the same road. Her name is May
Baldwin, and her home is in Garden
City. Four years ago she went UP to
town from the farm, with the educa-
ton and equipment of the average
young country girl. The editor of the
paper gave her job of writing his
letters from dictation, looking after the
mailing list and running errands. Be
fore the end of three years the editor
found he could leave the office in her
charge, that she could write his edi-
torials, edit and head copy, take care
of her own reporting job, and attend
to the make up of the paper. In the
contest in which a Kansas City paper
offered a trip abroad as a prize to the
winner, Miss Baldwin won and spent
a few months in Europe with her ex-
penses paid for her. In these days
/ when it is fashionable for girls-even
the rich ones-to enter into some use
full work, there are not many having
all the advantages of education anc
technical training who can show a bet
ing, apprenticeship, and professional
work cover period of only fou1
years.
