Synopsis
Excerpt from Enthusiasm in Work: Essay Read Before the New York State Stenographers' Association, at Its Annual Meeting, Aug. 25, 1897
No feature of our daily life is more prominent than intense absorption in work. Our labors are continu ous and protracted beyond those of ordinary workers. We are called upon to endure hardness. Our life is one of severe application and rigorous self-denial. Eight-hour men, in practice at least, are not known among us. The court stenographer is one entirely taken possession of by his task. For its successful accomplishment he must renounce every conflicting care and apply all his strength. Its material is ever dealt with in discouraging masses. He soon becomes, per force, a devotee. He finds himself a part of an unresting machine, and must forever accompany its activities. No man works longer, or later, or with fewer respites. His art is a jealous mistress. She allows no partial or divided service. Everything within him and about him must be yielded to her claims. Give thyself wholly to this thing is her inexorablemandate. Come and be very busy with me is her summons to every loyal disciple. Time and efiort she continually monopolizes. To prepare a thousand-page record, in an important case, and do it with literal ac curacy, is no bagatelle. To report a five weeks' trial, and write out copiously as you go along, is no holiday pastime. Often through sickness and exhaustion we must pursue our inevitable tasks.
