Older Women Typists
A thoughtful suggestion concerning older women shorthand typists in the Public Service, is made by Mr F. W. Millar in an article in the Public Service Journal. "Viewing the careers of those who have given the service their full working life, I come to the conclusion that pounding a typewriter and drinking in dictation for years, of a woman's natural working life is good neither for the State nor for the individual so doomed : " he says. "Mechanical efficiency recedes in the later years. An intelligent woman, however, secures in a few years a good working knowledge of departmental activities which is at present not utilised. 1 believe in a wide future for such an employee, possibly by merging the dual role at an age when the odds indicate she is likely to make the service her career for the. allotted work span."
