Revelations "How delighted the girls will be to see me when I get home," I thought as my train entered the outskirts of Cleveland. "Poor girls, I do feel so sorry for them. I would hate to do their work—just sit in a seat, type and take dictation all day. There is nothing entertaining or intellect- ual about their work. I know that they wanted to go to college, for in their high school days they were continually talk- ing about doing so. I wonder what they do in the evening. I imagine they just sit at home and are gradually bscoming mentally dead. I suppose they will enter soon into the final step of existence— get married and take care of a home."

I had con- sidered college everything and was sorry for all who could not go to college. 98c Thus I was not prepared for the changes in the girls when I saw them this last week-end. These office girls are earning now on the average of twenty dollars a week and are expecting raises at Christmas time. A new teacher in a small school does not get any more than these girls are now earning or will be BEE GEE NEWS Page 17
earning by the time I enter the teaching profession. These girls, also, do not have the re- sponsibilities in an office that the tea- cher has in a school room. The teacher is responsible for the building up of the characters, ideals and educations of many children each year. What a tre- mendous burden to carry! Contrast this with the carefree stenographer, whose responsibility is ended with the day's work. The appearance of the stenographer and the teacher is also different. The for- mer wears the latest styles. On the other hand, the teacher wears dresses of a con- ventional style which covers the knees and which are sober and sedate in color. The "dear children" must not be led astray by the dress of the teacher! I know many girls in my classes who have lengthened their dresses since they have entered college and have discarded also other dresses because of their bright colors or for their extreme fashion. In summer the teachers have no posit- ion. Of course the Board of Education expects them to further their own edu- ation either by traveling or by studying at some college. Not all teachers can af- ford to do this at their small wages. Trimmings They barely make ends meet during the time that they receive pay checks in the Add Color winter. This is especially true if they have to give anything to their homes.
