from the article:
Il have known stenographers who
felt that it was beneath their dignity
to see to the busting of their en-
ployer's desk; who felt that they did
not need to pay any attention to his
supplies of pins, rubber bands and let
ter clips; who did not notice whether
his pencils were sharp or not, or
whether his ink wells were filed. 1t
should be a part of every secretary's
work to see that these things are at

bit of the0desk equipment-are in or

Two opportunities are open to the
stenographer: One is private secre,

dent business venture. Both are
reached by the same methods-ac-
curacy. efficiency and undivided inter.

will probably have succeeded in all
but eliminating tuberculosis from vi

of DIR. jefferson d. Gibson, president
of the American Association on Gin

cries by which the presence of tuber-

even before the germs appear in the
sputum, together with later and
higher development of the X-ray. will
in a short time remove tuberculosis
from the list of ordinarily fatal dir
