The Schooling of a Stenographer by Sophie Irene Loeb
A 1918 piece argues business schools overemphasize stenography and typing while neglecting practical business skills. It urges that stenographers learn spelling punctuation checks receipts and daily office habits, and that employers show patience while workers gain broader business knowledge. It notes many girls lack basics and warns only the truly capable will survive in a changing job market.
