are always thinkers. If possible, they should remain at school in order to
continue their studies. But although a girl who is intellectual may have
to go into paid employment early, there is no reason why she should not
eventually find her way into work for which she is better fitted.

Employment for the intellectual girl is varied, just as the intellectual
girl herself, according to her individual capacity, is fitted for a number
of different occupations. Banks have long employed girls as stenographers
and a number of young women have held junior clerkships. But now the work
of a ledger-keeper or teller is sometimes given to a woman, and there is
a prospect for the intelligent girl with capacity for financial affairs to
find a position in a bank, suited to her gifts. There are a few women in
accountants' offices. The number of women who act as insurance agents is
increasing, and it is considered that they have special advantages in
insuring other women. A small movement, therefore, has already begun to
introduce women into the higher branches of business and finance. In order
to be successful in financial work, a girl will need to prepare herself as
carefully as possible. She should understand something of business law and
should be familiar with the machinery of banking and credit. The study of
economics and popular government are part of her preparation. Women who
have taken a university degree in economics are already influencing the
fields of work which may be entered by the girl with a good intellectual
endowment.

Women lawyers are doing good work in many of the larger cities, especially
in the United States. The training required is long and somewhat expensive.
There is no reason why a woman lawyer who has training and the legal
instinct should not be a useful and successful worker. After graduating,
she may find herself confined to office work altogether. If she has greater
capacities, she may have difficulty in making opportunities for using them.
Occasionally she may find employment in government service in connection
with laws regarding children and factory work. Work in social service has
attracted the attention of some young women to the study of law. In dealing
with family difficulties through a "settlement," the social worker becomes
impressed with the importance of understanding what legal redress may be
obtained for some just grievance, and applies herself to legal study. Work
