FOR SECRETARIES
Arthur L. Church Tells How to
Succeed in a Well-Paid
Profession

The conclusion forced upon the reader
Of Arthur L. Church's handbook on
THE Training of Secretary" q. r.
Lippincott Company is thnt a secre.
tnry can make his Job as big as he Is.
The possibilities in the secretarial pro.
fession seem to be almost limitless. and
the pay ranges from $1,000 to $25 900 n
year, according to the capacities and re.
sponsibilities of the individual.
Mr.. Church, who Is the secretary. of
the Baldwin Locomotive Works. has
written a book which contains a mass
Of valuable and detailed information
that will be useful to young persons
contemplating a secretarial career. It
Is more than a technical handbook. 1t
Is a human document of such char
acter as to inspire ambitious secretaries
to rise In their profession. Among the
technical matter included Is lot OF
forms for minutes and for resolutions
and a typical order of, business for a
trustees meeting. Directions for keep
ing and preserving minutes are also
given, and there Is information about
the various mechanical devices for les
sening the labor of a secretary. In
addition to this, Mr.. Church has delved
into the history Of secretaries and finds
that the profession is of great an
! tiquity. He has called attention to the
career of some distinguished secretaries
who have won fame Of one kind or an
other. His book is n valuable addition
to the Training Series which the Lip
pincotts are publishing.

'El Supreme" historical novel about
the career Of Francia, the great die
tator Of Paraguay = 1t would not be
easy to imagine a more compromising
theme. Paraguay is n long way off.
Few readers Of English fiction know
anything about It's history, and to an
ordinary man 1t would seem an impos-
siblc task to interest them in 1t. But
Mr.. White accomplished the impossible.
'"El Supreme" attracted wide atten
tion :. was highly praised as a great his.
torical novel and ran through several
editions. 1t is still read. II. T. G.
whose desk adjoins mine, had 1t for a
Christmas present a while ago and told
me that 1t was one Of the greatest his
torical novels he had ever read.
A novel still read sir years after its
publica tion is likely to be read sirty
years after.
TD1D rot read 1t when It appeared,
L for the reason that the publishers
did not send me copy and oil my
time was occupied with books they did
send. have not yet read It. But six
years ago was wondering who White
was. 1t did not occur to me that "El
Supreme" was the first novel, and
confused him with some other White
and was too Indifferent to get any
definite information. It was not until
after "Andivius Hedulio" (E. p. Dut-
ton 4 Coz, another historical novel
by White, reached my desk few weeks
ago that I found out about him what
I have written above. The book Is
described on the title page as the "Ad.
ventures of a Roman Nobleman in the
Days of the Empire" I read a chapter
or two and remal kcd to II. T. G. that
the story moved slowly.
The action is not rapid in 'El Su
premo,' either" he replied. THAT
seems to be the method of White"
Then laid the book aside, without
immediate courage to wade through it,
more than 600 pages Of small print
But I have lately finished it with pro
found admiration for Whites literary
skill.

the reader is concentrated on the human
relations and the characters are mel

White has made the past live as if /
