They are very quick to learn, however, I think men should be given a chance in the training schools instead of many of the flighty girls who go there.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I strongly advise other women to follow my example. I am sure they will be satisfied with the experiment.&quot; <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> * [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Back to Conan Doyle]]</div>
