Women are taking up public ac-
countancy.
Registration for the Fall term, Just
begun at the school of accountancy
and business administration of Benja-
min Franklin University for the class
which will open September Is, shows
a greater percentage of women have
thus far enrolled than ever before
The unusually large number this Fall
is believed to be the result of the in
creasing success of women in the field
OF probate and public accounting.
Miss Nettie A. Trail, a Washington
{. Z. A, has written an article on the
progress of women in the accounting
profession which shows that more
than so women have received State
certificates to practice as certified
public accountants. In addition to
these there are thousands of other
women occupying important positions
in the accounting departments of pri-
vate organizations, of whom she
names a number in her article.
The school of .accountancy and bust
ness administration of the university
has announced the publication of a
monthly magazine called the Franklin
Accountant. This magazine is pub
lished primarily in the interest of the
profession of accountancy. In addi.
ton to the students, the circulation in
cludes local accountants and other
business and professional men. New
items about students and alumni of
the school will be supplemented by ar
ticles showing the value of proper ac-
counting methods in business organi-
cations, events of interest to account
ants, reviews of the latest accounting
books and comment on important tax
rulings.
