WOMAN HAS SHOWN ABILITY
Has Demonstrated Her Efficiency In Professions and Trades Never Opened to Her Before War.
Woman's sphere of usefulness will be limitless. Since the war began men have had to recognize her ability to cope successfully with every trying emergency. She has demonstrated her efficiency in trades and professions never before opened to her but now to remain open for all time. Woman abroad has won her right to laurels with which the future promises to crown her. British parliamentary leaders have acknowledged that her work in the war has won for her the right to vote after the European conflict.
Millions of women, nine millions in Germany alone, are in the economic ranks of the belligerent countries of Europe. American men are recognizing in advance the future standing of the no longer "weaker" sex and are generously offering to help her to a position at their side. It is gratifying to observe that one school of commerce has agreed to train a hundred women for business free of charge, and it is safe to assume that other schools will follow this commendable example. A tendency among commercial organizations to grant equal pay for equal work for women who take the places of men released for military duty is noticeable thus early in America's participation in the war.
