Organisation of the Office

Organisation of the Office.

In addition to the two assistants before mentioned, the Division employs female Office Assistants and Cadets. The former circulate the files as between the various offices, make new files and index them, deliver files telephoned for, despatch letters, circulars, and telegrams. Cadets obtain all files for inward letters and file away all completed files. This filing is an exacting duty; yet the present lads' margin of error is practically nil.

The Record Clerk or either of his two principal assistants is available at any time to show controllers of correspondence in business houses, etc. through the Division. A half-hour or so spent in such a visit will not be time wasted, but will be of mutual benefit to both parties.
