Show A WOMAN ADMINISTRATOR Women in general can make a dollar go farther than a man, and a certain type of women can make more dollars go. In one Western state a woman has made a 10-year record as administrator equalled by very few men in handling a public institution. This woman conducts a large dormitory at the Oregon State Normal school and has made it pay and earn good money from the beginning. Students get better board and rooms than most hotels furnish, for $7.00 a week, including light, heat, baths, laundry and gymnasium. Many of them earn their way by doing work at fair pay by the hour and each year the dormitory earns about ten thousand thous-and dollars surplus. Last year Miss Todd built a beautiful English colonial style cottage and furnished it out of her, profits, that houses twenty-eight students. All the equipments' from blankets to table lamps are of the best. The best bread is baked daily for less than three cents a loaf. The kitchen is supplied with the most modern machinery, such as meat grinders, vegetable cutteds, bread moulders, dish washers, electric Oven. Instead of being a burden upon the taxpayers Miss Todd pays her own way, gives 100 per cent service and any state might be proud to have as efficient a person for governor. |
