McGill. ay THE STENOGRAPHER. bey Stenographer—One whe-has the knowledge of repre= menting Words and speech by strokes and dashes or other ; characters of writing in rapid abbreviation. Thus the gift to New York Uni- versity, liberal as it js, amounts to} less than one mionth’s income. Aj year’s income would give big cam- puses and extended grounds to all the leadfng universities and coileges of the United States, . Indéed, since the’ value of property in other col- lege towns and cities is much less _ than in New York, one year's in- come would give every recognized collége'a campus. Then what is Mrs. Sage to do? She feels charged with distributing in charity the vast estate which her frusband left. She‘is ransacking her brains and the ingenuity of her con-| fidential advisers to find some way to do this without. doing more harm than good. What way Is there open? The librar. field Mr. Carnegie has filled. The endowment of professorships and big universitlés, the establishment of hospitals and of art galleries, are already being attendéd-to by Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. Morgan and other multi-millionaires. Mrs. Sage knows very well the harm that indiscriminate giving does. She may likely haye also reasoned out the injury which such gifts as those of Mr. Archbold, of the Standard Oil, to Syracuse University and’ » of John D. Rockefeller to the"Chicago University have done In stifling the spirit of pure thought and in quelling. the development of ree criti- cism and independent argument. Salary—For those who are expert on the typewriter and who aro completing their education in stenography from {5 to $3 a weelt ts pald. For first-class stenographer and typewriter operator from $10 to $20.4 week. ‘ Houre of Labor—Usually from 9 A. M. till 5 P, although to one occupying the position of confden' stenographer or tn the position of having to handle tha current day's mall’.the lours vary according to the mode of handling the day's work set by the employer, and late hours are frequent. Age of Stenographers—Thero 1s no rule stpnography. Some! are’ profictent at sixteen years of age and others are nop | profictent at sixty. Experts say women make the best stenographers after they, are twenty-five years old, and no man under twenty-three is considered a re able expert, although there are exceptional cases. 2 to the best age for beginning aps first and most !mportant thing to be constdered by thuse who want te begin the remunerative work of # aphy is set dow the following paragraph, which waa Written’ by Mr.° Peter J.
