CENTRAL BUREAU FOR THE EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN. [To THE EDITOR
or THE " SPECTATOR."]
Sue—That women of education and skill are needed in many occupations is known to us all, and the urgent demands of employers, together with the much higher salaries now offered, show that this need is increasing and is likely to increase still further when peace comes. These demands will not be met by women released from munition-making and other war work, because very few of these workers have had special preparation for the new and permanent openings which appear in greater numbers every week upon our records. However necessary it may be that the majority should at present devote themselves to war work, is it not equally important that at least some of the more able and educated young women should prepare themselves for the arts of peace? The interval which must elapse between the commencement of training and the fitness for earning, often full of difficulty, is being bridged by Loan Funds which have been specially established for this purpose, so that no capable and enterprising girl need be hindered by lack of means. New vistas are opening out in all directions, and many opportunities which have been eagerly waited for are now here, needing trained and enthusiastic workers to fill them.—I am, Sir, &c.,
MAnY G. SPENCER, Secretary.
5 and 6 Princes Street, Cavendish Square, W.
