Many Of Them Pour Into New York
City Every Summer to Take Po-
sitions During Vacation
Months.
NO. SKILL TO MARKET
Scores Of These Women Apply for
Clerical Positions for Which They
are Not Fitted and Return
to Pedagogy.

Summer work in the city is sought
by great numbers of girls and women
who are pouring into New York from
all parts of the country. They plan to
use the vacation period for acquire
ment of new experiences and a broad
ening knowledge of life. The great
difficulty Of this condition, says Miss
M. F. Hall, in charge of summer work
for the employment department of the
central branch of the Y. w. G. A, is
that SO many of these women arrive
in New York with nothing to offer in
the way of marketable skill, according
to the New York Evening Sun.
"A great many women apply for
clerical positions" said Miss Wallace.
Temporarily positions of this kind
are hard to get Most of the appli-
cants have had no office experience.
They are usually teachers or students,
who want to use the vacation to ad-
vantage by coming to large city,
where they can derive benefit from the
great libraries, the art collections and
other attractions. 1t is an excellent
idea, but unfortunately they have not
usually studied the practical aspects
of the case.
IF women who want to spend their
vacations in this fashion while sup
porting themselves by temporary work
would learn stenography or even if
they would become expert typists they
would find it much easier to carry out
their plans.
1--WE have hundreds of calls during
the week for stenographers or typlsts
who will take temporary work. EN-
ployers beg us to send them some one,
but we can rarely do so.
"In the large offices during the sum
! mer months there are always numbers
of stenographers absent on vacations
and these firms are anxious to take on
substitutes for the entire season. The
pay is fair and the work usually agree
able. Moreover, it offers an oppor
| tunity for women who have been
| d Ding other work, such as teaching, tc
see the inside Of a big business Office
| and discover for themselves how they
like the business world.
MANY teachers feel that they are
| not altogether satisfied with their pro
ifession and would like to try some
thing else. They believe that they
would like business better. But not
being equipped to fill any position in
a business office, they do not get the
opportunity to try the thing out for
themselves. 1t is probable that If a
woman should be successful in her
summer work she would later get a
permanent position with the same
house.
"On the other hand, if after trying
the business life the woman found
that she did not really care for it and
that she preferred teaching, she could
20 back to her work in the schools
contented, and would make a much
otter teacher"

Wind and Rain and Many Of
the Young Ones Were
Killed. ..... ..
The birds which have been wont to
swing gayly in the tree tops these
happy summer days are homeless,
after last nights storm and they are
making a racket about it too.
All over town this condition exists,
but it is noticed most in Rand park
where the storm played havoc with
the trees, destroying most of the nests
in which there were whole families
of birds.
One nest was picked up in the
park this morning belonging to some
f1ickers, and close by was the family,
the mother bird mourning over the
little flickers which were beginning to
get their grown up feathers, but
which were almost killed by the
storm. The casualties among the
fledglings from the storm are many.
and all over the city the birds have
been noisy in their lamentations.
