TG ICET 2025 8th June 2025 Shift 2

Question Numbers : (186 to 190)
A permanent steno-typist was now needed in Miss Dick's place, and I was fortunate in getting another girl. She was Miss Schlesin. Introduced to me by Mr. Kallenback, whom the reader will know in due course. She is at present a teacher in one of the High Schools in the Transvaal. She was about seventeen when she came to me. Some of her idiosyncrasies were at times too much for Mr. Kallenbach and me. She had come less to work as a steno-typist than to gain experience. Colour prejudice was foreign to her temperament. She seemed to mind neither age nor experience. She would not hesitate even to the point of insulting a man and telling him to his face what she thought of him. Her impetuosity often landed me in difficulties but her open and guileless temperament removed them as soon as they were created. I have often signed without revision letter typed by her, as I considered her English to be better than mine, and had the fullest confidence of her loyalty. Her sacrifice was great. For a considerable period, she did not draw more than 6 pounds, and refused ever to receive more than 10 pounds a month. When I urged her to take more, she would give me a scolding and say, 'I am not here to draw a salary from you. I am here because I like to work with you and I like your ideals.'
