SECRE T AR Y 01' S T EN OGRAPHERP ln one of our well-known intelligence tests, this question is asked: If you call a. calfs tail a, leg, how many legs has the calf? The answer naturally is four, because calling the tail a leg cloesn't change the fact. Calling a stenographer a secretary doesn't alter the fact, either. There is a world of difference between the meaning of Ustenographern and secretary, and this difference in meaning is now clearly understood by the business man: the use of the term secre- tary makes him expect more. The young person who nowadays sails blithely into the prospective employer's office under the colors of secretary is expected to live up to the title-and must, or make room for the trained secretary. A Stenographer- takes dictation and transcribes it. ln fact, a stenographer is merely a begin- ner. A stenographer is one who has learned the foundational subjects, short- hand and typewriting, and needs only the superstructure of secretarial technique to become a secretary. The difference in earning power, the opportunity for inter- esting, creative work, and the greater chances for promotion, all made secre- tarial work more desirable. A stenogra- pher works under direction. lt is dis- tinctly worth while to become a secretary in all that the term implies. A Secretary- also takes dictation and transcribes it: but this is only the starting point. Short- hand and typewriting are the tools of his trade: what he has above the neck and the training he has received in secretarial technique determine very largely his value beyond that point. Definite training for secretarial service puts him into the upper reaches of distinctive achievement. A real secretary comes very close to being in the executive class. The secretary runs largely on his own motive power. A SECRETARIAL COURSE is the Phone 2257-j. answer to the Secretarial training problem.
