Training Girls for Business.
Since the business woman has come
to stay and since she has no traditions
to guide her and must estab her own
presidents, it is the duty of the mother,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean, to look
the question squarely in the face and
train the girl who decides to earn her
living in the business world how to
meet the problems before her just as
the father for generations has trained
the boy with the same object in view.
Because OF this training, the boy has
the advantage of the knowledge gained
by the men preceding him so that his
attitude toward business has become |
second nature, while the girl has gone
into the race with only the preparation /
of the business school. which has had /
absolutely TO backing from the home
Give your daughter, then, in the first |
place practical, common school educa- |
tion. see that she has a thoroughly good /
working knowledge of the English lam /
guage and that she knows how TO apply /
it. Next send her to business school |
with the distinct purpose in mind of |
herself for a serious and Dig /
nified career. and not merely to fritter /
away year or two In haphazard /
manner before marriage, Girls do not I

pendent years are spent by the average
girl in a business Office, and the knowl-
edge there gained should be of inesti-
ma BILE value to her in later years. The
in systematic work and the reg
llarity of hours steady her, and the OPP
Dortunities to observe the transaction
Of men of affairs, the difficulties they
overcome, and the curbing of personal
ittleness, all tend to give her an under
standing of the other half of human
nature, which she could obtain in no
other way.
Help her to learn how to read the
in an intelligent way and
her to form her own concur
lions and to cultivate an interest in the
vents of the day, for things are hap
1enng now which future generations
will be studying from text books. Give
Ter a chance to meet men on their own
ground and she will develop new pow
RS, which, with her keenness of percep-
ion will bring to the business world,
lew light and force.
With this sort of training as a foun
lation, the business school will be bet
er able to teach her the things the
mother does not know, make clear what
will be expected of her in businesss
thoroughness, the cheerful
cceptance of duties, sometimes irksome,
nd the knowledge that closing time
oes not always mean quitting time in
busy office. The girl who thinks only
# the end of the day and whose
thoughts are on the pleasures OF the
vening, past or to come cannot expect
o be successful Interest in work may
e cultivated and must be if it is to be
one intelligently and if any happiness
) to be experienced in the doing of it.
Another very important matter, which
les almost entirely in the hands of the
mother, and one which the business
chool is unable to correct, is the sub
eet of appropriate dress. Even in this /:
ay with all the variety of styles for
lomen, or perhaps because of it, women
ave not, as rule. learned to dress for
usiness. The business man who inter-
Jews the young woman applicant for a
osition has a right to be skeptical of
er ability when she comes TO him wear
lg a frock suitable for an afternoon
ga or garden party.
Adapt the prevailing styles to suit :
er individuality, keeping safely away
rom extremes, and select materials /;
hat are of good quality.
