NEW PROFESSION Fob WOMEN
They Are Making Marked sueesss ~
seeretariss and Earn Very
Good Salaries.

Evidence of rapid strides toward tho
creation Of new profession Offering .
good field for women Is set forth In an
article in the New York Evening Post
by Raymond G. Fuller, director of the
secretarial department Of the Russell
Sage College Of Practical Arts at Troy,
N. Y. He points out that government
statistics and the reports of such or
ganizations as the international bureau
Of occupations, New York; the Wom-
ems Educational and Industrial union
Of Boston, and the bureau of occupa-
tions for trained women Of Philadel-
phia show that secretarial work Is "be-
coming one Of the most attractive ave-
nues Of vocational choice among col
lege women" He states that Simmons
college In Boston Is the only institu-
ton Of collegiate standing which offers
q complete secretarial course. and that
the demand for its graduates Is 50
great that other colleges are rapidly
falling In line.
In New York salaries begin at from
$12 to $15 week, increase to from
$500 to $1,000 year at the end of
two years. and to from 81 500 to 81 $40
year within another year or two. or
as soon as the secretary has definitely
lifted herself from thes stenogrnpher
class and shown real interest In the
affairs of her employer, ability to grasp
details and attend to them without de-
lay and has developed certain degree
of Judgment. Twenty per cent Of the
graduates Of the secretarial depart
ment Of Simmons go into business oc-
cupations. 10 to Is per cent become
teachers. and the rest find employment
with lawyers. professors. doctors and
other individuals. and clubs, settlement
houses. colleges. etc. A recent survey
Of 500 college women In secretarial
positions showed 80 per cent connected
with suffrage. social and religious or
ganizations; IA per cent employed by
schools and colleges; 8 per cent by
public officials; per cent by business
firms and banks; per cent by law
yers. and per cent by doctors.
