Girl Clerks
Although hundreds ot women hold positions of financial trust in the United States, we ('Albany Journal,' New York) have yet to hear of one ot them being guilty of embezzlement or defalcation. The evidence clearly sustains the position of those who believe that women are qualified — morally, physically, and intellectually — for the handling of money in stores or in banks. General Spinner, who first introduced women into tlie United States Treasury, left on record a striking testimonial to the efficiency and integrity of the sex, and no one ever had a better opportunity to study tlie ques*» tion than he, who at one time had 1,000 women under his direction engaged chiefly in handling money. He testifies that they count more accurately and rapidly than men ; that their ability to detect counterfeits proved to be superior in almost every test ; that they were, without an exception, honest, and were invariably more careful and painstaking in their work.
