奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
A number of girls in Barnard are, however, paying for their clothes, books, car fares, etc., by doing what work they can find. Tutoring in Barnard is seldom available for the undergraduates, because the lists are always full of experienced teachers, who can be engaged by the hour. Typewriting is one of the favorite resources. One student has done particularly well as agent for a firm that makes college caps and gowns. Another girl, a Russian Jewess, from the lower East Side, New York, runs a little "sweat shop," where she keeps a number of women busy making women's wrappers and children's dresses. She has paid all the expenses of her education in this way.

白话
巴纳德学院的不少女生靠自己找活儿干来支付衣服、书本、车费等开销。家教工作对本科生来说很少有机会，因为家教名单上总是挤满了有经验的老师，可以按小时聘请。打字是她们最喜欢的谋生方式之一。有个学生给一家做学位服的公司当代理，干得特别好。另一个女孩是来自纽约下东区的俄裔犹太人，她经营一个小“血汗作坊”，让几个妇女忙着做女式晨衣和童装。她就靠这个付清了全部教育费用。这说明，只要肯动脑筋、放下面子，校园里处处是谋生的门路。
