To succeed, women must work hard, be logical, curious and "above all they must be awarc of the business they are em- ployed in." "They must be industrious too. It's not enough just to do the job adequately," she added. Grey-haired and gracious Miss Dunham thinks it is important to learn to work with others. Clothing can be important.

This year she's taking a year off in connection with her book, and to devote more time to her daughters. Mrs. Van Atta believes many of the reading problems of to- day's school children are due to lack of interest on the part of the parents. 'So many parents leave the whole job of educating their chil- dren to the school without even inquiring into what they are learning," she says. 'Parents often have no idea of the curric- ulum of their children's schools, and never bother to find out until one day they discover that Johnny can't read.
