The origins of this oc cupation are interesting, and even engineering students might enjoy reading about them. Secretaries have been exercis ing their skills far longer than you might suspect - under working conditions which have varied drr.mnatically through the years. The scribes of ancient Baby lonia, who might be considered the world's first secretaries, took dic tation with wooden sticks on clay pads some 5,000 years ago. They wrote d o w n everything from poems to inventories to court ver dicts - all the records of that ancient society. And if their filing problems were terrific, they had the satisfaction of knowing they were absolutely indispensible - few other citizens could even write the difficult script. But Roman stenographers, no mission tholars ties. It is exploring the present state of scholarship and teaching in the humanistic scholarship-dis ciplines at all levels through grad uate school; sources of financial support available for research in the humanities and for curriculum dlevelopment ini humanistic disci - plines; the adequacy or inade quacy of reasearch materials for humanistic scholarship. Also up for investigation are the relations between the humanities andI the Federal government. On the basis of its findings the Conm mission will r e c o m m e n d steps which might be taken to solve existing andI potential problems and to remedy existing andl poten tial deficiencies. Commenting on his appointment andl the total value of the Com mission, Dr. Carlson said, "There is evide(nce that the concern for the improvement of education has resulted in concrete and compre hensive programs. However, this cannot allow us to ignore the fact that a certain distortion in educa tional emphasis has taken place. "The scholar who chooses to* cast his lot with the humanities must settle for greatly reduced financial aids for graduate study, a longer period of time invested in his training, I e s s advantageous arrangements for teaching and re search, and probably s mn a II e r eventual compensation."

After the Roman conquest of Greece, many Greek scholars wound up in the households of rich Romans, tutoring their chil dren and acting as private secre taries. Cicero, the Roman author whose works are still studied in many schools, d i c t a t e d his thoughts to Tiro, who took them! down in shorthand some 1900 years before Pitman and Gregg came along. Back in the .:ys of the horse less carriage an,: tie horsehair sofa, a "secretary" was either a tall desk with a lot of pigeon holes, or a bright young man who worked for a businessman, author or clergyman as stenog rapher and administrative assis tant. A "typewriter" was either a big, clumsy machine, sneered at by clerks proud of their beautiful penmanship, or the young lady who operated it. She was sneered at, too. A Boston businessman grumbled that he knew of "nothing so vexa tious as an uneducated, careless or flirty 'typewriter.' Women Rose But employers hired her just the same. For one thing, according to figures supplied by The Na tional Secretaries Association, the lady "typewriter" was willing to work for as little as $8 to $10 per six-day, .15-hour week! Meanwhile, want ads offering male office workers the astronomical (by turn of the century standards) sum of $30 a week went unanswered. 'rhe girl had other good points.

By 1900, nineteen years after the YWCA instituted the first typing courses for women, there were 200,000. And by 1910, women already held five out of every six stenographic and typing jobs. Today, there are over two mil lion secretaries, stenographers and typists in the United States - and 971, of them are women. Over half are married, and nearly half are over 40. But 75', of the "type writers" of 1899 were single, and half were under 25. Secretaries are growing not only in numbers but in status; in recent years professional ratings for secretaries have been introduced. In 1919, The Na tional Secretaries Association established the Institute for Cer tifying Secretaries, which tests secretaries for the coveted title of Certified Professional Secre tary. C'S Exams The CPS examination is given by educators on the first Friday and Saturday of May each year; complete application to the Insti tute for Certifying Secretaries, at 1103 Grand Avenue, Suite 410-B, Kansas City, Missouri 64106, must be submitted before D)ecember 1 for the following year's examina tion. The six-part examination measures skills in business ad ministration, business law, secre tarial accounting, secretarial pro cedures, secretarial skills, and per sonal adIjustment and human r'ela tions. When a c'andlidate passesS the exam, the Institute for C'er tifying Secretaries, on request, sees to it that the boss ge'ts word of his secreta'y's elite professional standing.
