PLAN No. 397. A WOMAN GETS AN EDUCATION AND $500
Very few girls can expect to go to a university with $50 in their pockets and come out not only with the education they were seeking and $500 in cash besides. But there was one girl who did this.
Being a good stenographer and typist, she soon had plenty of work. She took up mimeographing, which paid well, and later was engaged to help one of the professors prepare the matter for a book he was writing. This gave her a desk of her own in the economics department, where she helped to complete the book, read the proofs, and kept well up with her studies at the same time.
When she graduated, all her expenses were paid and she had an even $500 left over.
