Show - Where,' Business Moves Slowly. Business methods are Invariably slow in the Near East according to Miss Grace Willis who has returned recently from a period of service with the Y. W. C. A. in Constantinople, Stamboul and Beirut. "It takes at least a half a day to deposit a check and even longer to draw one out," says MIss Willis. "The general condition1 con-dition1 that exists In business houses is undoubtedly due to the fact that so many nationalities, each with their own way of doing things, are gathered "under one roof. The girls of the Near East are particularly keen for business busi-ness courses und there is a tremendous tremen-dous ftemand in the many commercial houses for well-trained clerical workers work-ers and stenographers. I consider that when, from the business courses given by the Y. W. C. A., efficient business women have been turned out after Dine months' training, a remarkable piece of work has been accomplished." |
