S '.ducat ion In Business.
In the New Idea Womau's Maga
zine for January appears an inter
estiuir interview with a clever woman
who has worked up a unique busi
in ss for herself in the publishing
world. This woman, Miss May
Lingdoii White, is conversant with
i In- work of publishing from begin
ning to end, and finds sullic'e it
occupation in giving assistance of
various kinds to authors and pub
lishers generally. Miss White pre
dio:ites tact and education as the
issciitials to success in the publish
ins world, and indeed in any I nc
of business. "I am inclined to
think," she is quoted as sayi.'g,
't lint this question of education is
very clovely wrapped around the
success of women in business. Pos
sibly the ordinary type of lusiiiess
wi.iuu", ;s only a partial success.
Possible we do not know how many
of us have been tried and found
wuntitii: in the qualities that help
men to surpass us. But the ordi
nary type of business woman is r.ot
well ed iic ited. I rather believe the
ability to get an education i.sually j
carries with it the force or character
necessary to success in business.
The woman who has sense enough
