Ida N. Tarbe,i On Women in Business.

In the American Magazine Ida NJ.
Tarbell writes a frank and exceedingly
interesting article on women. Follow
ing is an interesting extract:
The woman set to do a mans bust
ness too often views life as made up OF
business. She throws her whole nature
To the task. Her work is her child. She
gives it the same exclusive passionate
attention. She is as tiercely Jealous of
interference in it as she would be ii it
We're II child. She resents suggestions
and change. 1t is hers. a personal thing
to which she clings as if it were a liv-
ing being. That attitude is the chief
reason why working with women in
the development of great undertakings
is as difficult as cooperating will,
them in the rearing of a family. 1t is
also IL reason why they rarely rise to
the first rank. They ann get away
from their undertakings sufficiently 20
see the big truth and movements which,
are always impersonal."
