Excerpt from Vocations for Girls The object of this book is to give to young girls, and those responsible for the guidance of girls, some definite information as to conditions of work in the more common vocations. The facts were secured, with the cooperation of the Vocation Bureau of Boston, from many sources: the superintendents of large department stores, the director of a school of salesmanship, the managers of several manufacturing establishments, the head nurses of city hospitals, the principals of technical, trade, textile, and commercial schools, the manager of a telephone school, the head of a department of household economics, several librarians, state, city, and town school superintendents, have all furnished information in regard to work in the several vocations; teachers, nurses, cooks, milliners, dressmakers, and employees in stores, factories, and telephone exchanges have also given many facts as to conditions of work. The book has been written by two teachers who have worked with many young people, and their hope is that it may help girls, who must make their way in the world, to find the work for which they are best fitted by natural ability and by training.
