SEX SEGREGATIoN.-I am not
altogether believer in sex segrega-
ton, but 1 think it ought to go into
effect in all of the. business offices.
I believe that girls should work
only under the direct supervision of
on one of their. own sex. Because
no two ordinary persons, Of opposite
sex can. mingle closely day after day
without getting more intimate each
day, and before long this intimacy
grows into close friendship and IA
miliaEity, and for such persons with
out the necessary restraining facul-
ties (which only about one in one
hundred possess) one or the other is
liable to make advances which will
probably break up a happy home and
separate a perfectly near inseparable
family.
So, if I were the wife Of a bust
ness man and wished to make sure of
no strained relations between myself
and friend husband brought about
via the Office, 1 would insist that he
hire a stenogFapher Of his own sex to
handle his personal work, and would
also insist that he pay him good liv-
ing Wages.-jimac:
