What the Girl “1T HAS ‘ UNUSUAL INTEREST D GREAT » DEAL OF FREEDOM” ing One’s people together. ARTICLE Il. By Dorothy Lawton wr yHEN high school or graduates inquire about the possibilities of library work find that there are always ene or © Misconceptions which must be cleared up before they understand just what itisand not. In the first place, it is not uo vocation at which a girl can make an immense amount of money, Al- though there « privato librarians whe recelve ex- Hent salaries, in the main the posi ions are not highly paid, and thi plies especially to a public libra- lan. But, on the other hand, ovither the work as dull, as routine and as Hiring in its hours as’outsiders sec © imagine. On the cont it hi usual interest and a great deal o reedom, and allows for the develoy- nent of individual taste to a large dogree. The librarian is no secluded bu worm, spending hours over ‘volumes. is in every sense 4 men of the world, and must add to her ‘knowledge of books and thelr tents a knowledge of people and th ‘characteristics. No occupation ¢ lenges the entire c: bility of More than library work, or gi more varied, kaleidoscopic contact “with the life of a community college is ver Of course, it demands a prelim” inary interest in books, in current events and in people, A high school education is essential, a college course desirable. We always ask an appli- cant in what subject she has “ma- fored.” A knowledge of languages, history, psychology and literature gives a good foundation, to which Bhould be added special training in 1 details of library work. We do not insist upon graduation rom. the Library School, which pre- pares girls for this career, but we uch prefer such students. To enter he Library School a girl must have high school education or its equiva- lent. The course enables her to be- ome familiar not only with general hic brary methods, but with the ork among children, for foreigners, th schools, music, business, techn! eal and other special libraries. Grad- yates are cligible for positions not lonly in New York, but throughout the eountry, often qualifying for excellent ‘positions in schools, universities, sci- entific institutions, business houses and Government departments. First year students in New York pay $45 for the tuition, and $25 for the second year. They buy their own supplies. No charge is made in cer- tain cases where the student has been or ts employed in the Public Library at the time of registration. First year graduates receive a certificate that they are prepared for general li- brary work; the second year course, qualifying for a diploma, prepares for special positions. Im the Public Library system the available positions fall into four grades. The junior assistants are high school or college graduates with- ‘out experience. In the junior grade hey get their training, and although 6 do not consider the standard salary lor this grade—$82.66 to $100 a month living one, the position is really apprenticeship, and the girl of bility is rapidly graduated from It to wenior grad In fact, many enter this grade di- ect upon showing proper qualifica- ons, The senior grade is the back- one of the general staff. The posi- fare responsible and the applicant it have Library School training or equivalent. Salaries ran from 104.41 a month to $124, promotions and quality, The third grade Includes the special ons, such as that of children's ork, which has grown amazingly in 6 past few years, and is one of our important and fascinating, nches. The monthly salaries here e $124 to $162. The fourth grade cludes other special positions such head of a branch library and ex- tive work in the big central build- The éularies run from $164 to #) « month. These figures are all the New York positions; other les vary in the scale of puyment, ny having comparatively higher s than these. ‘The public librarian works a forty- ir week, divided into five eight- Gays, so that #he has one week entirely free. The time is so ar- that some afternoons and some ings aro free, which is a great in New York, which has To Become a Librarian There’s Not a Vast Amount of Money to Be Made as a Librarian, but the Opportunities for Follow- Mast Know Taste and the Short HoursAreCompensating Features Miss Dorothy Lawton, who is in charge of the music work of the New York Public Library system, has in the past few years developed this branch until the circulating department, at No. 121 East 58th Street, thas one of the’ finest collections of musical volumes, including scores and orchestrations, in the country. She describes the attractions of library work: and tells the opportu- Nities it holds for girls who are interested in bringing books and Famous Women PP ett or maid of Rom her count struction After Rome by the Gau B.

The advice y lowed, and when the tes, haying feasted late, had fallen asleep, intoxicated, Phi- lotis lighted a toreh as a signal for her countrymen to attack the enemy.

We often call women from other places to assume positions in the New York Library, and. our girls go nat only all oyer the conntr but to Europe; Asia and South Amer- fea, If a young woman has ;made good here, she can be sure of an ex- ecutive position in a smaller. city. Girls from our children’s room, for instance, have ‘been called to’ the headship of libraries in Brookline, Mass., Roanoke, Va., and elsewhere, If a girl wants to leave the public library system the fact that she has worked here is of great assistance. It assures the business man that she has thorough, all-around training in the details of library routine. These out- side positions vary so much in the work they involve and the salaries paid that it 1s hard to give an idea of what to expect of them. In very large itbraries the woman in charge has assistants; in the smaller collections, she has the en- tire care of the books, and does every- thing from mending to purchasing new volumes. Sometimes the hours are long; in other cases only part time service is meeded. In private homes the librarian often works aloné much of the time, put she has the pleasure of being perfectly independent in her movements, Some business house librarians are able to e of important service to the concerns; for instance, in an adver- tising agency the lbrarian is con- sulted frequently and is expected to follow current events intelligently and to make suggestions to the executives, Given an Interest in books, in-peo- ple and in bringing the two together, no girl should hesitate at least to in- Yeetjenta the possibilities of Mbrary work, and once she has done ‘so, the chances will find it offers Just the sort of opportunity for which she has been looking. GOING DOWN! Dear Reader; If You are just an ordinary person and do not expect to amount to anything, you are wasting your time reading this. «BUT if you have made up your mim that yoy are going to get somewhere in this life—if you feel the call of the world, why not start something? The first thing to start is some- thing which you THINK you «: not do. Develop that power which is called INITIATIVE. Start with the persons next to you. Be like tall oak: bend, but hold your po- sition. Get rid of the i that you are just an ordinary person and make for the top’ round of succe: Make people like you. Start by liking them.
