Commerce in full standing with the

quarters in New York.
In America the same courses for
studying economics and commerce

for years to women students as we'll
as men. These classes always had
a larger enrolment of men, but the
ratio Of sexes shifted during the
war.

Since these workers, many Of

Speaking of
Equal Pay"

Miss Kohashi had a salary in her
newspaper work better than that en-
joyed by many women holding SINH
lar positions in the United States,
which means, since living in Japan
is very inexpensive, that she was
paid about three times what women
are paid for similar work in New
York City.
She has been granted a leave of
absence for three years. But condi-
tions are so different in Japan that
all she hopes for is to get the best
there is in America and Europe, and
find in it something she can make
over to suit her native environment.
"She is too humble to speak for
herself" said the translator, "but
she is the greatest woman in Japan.
She is our pioneer. She is doing for
women what no woman ever did be-
fore. What is it you call doing in
the woods? Blazing a trail? Well,
she is doing just that"
