Administrative and Professional Experience
More important, perhaps, is the non‑professional work; I am proud of having been a laboring person as well as an academic. First female street car operator for the Municipal Railway, San Francisco; Coppersmith, Winslow Marine Shipyard, Washington.
Selected Publications
I do not even keep titles at hand any longer; too many new interests. I follow current happenings in the California school system, particularly at the secondary level.
