Female Education In the United States.

Before ne lies Boston paper which quotes, amo]
the grants Of the Massachusetts Legislature, one
10000 dollars made some time since for the foun
ing Of New England Female Medical College, al
an annual grant OF 900 dollars for five years, y
endOw scholarships in 1t. IL IS nothing new q
surprising now in the most enlightened parts
the United Sta;es, that the practice OF medici
and surgery should be shared by women, thoui|
80 first opposition was made by vuigarminded p(
SONS there as elsewhere. When d few ladies' souRI
a regular professional education, and made th@
way into class rooms and hospitals by courage, p
tence and devotion to their object it was preseut
found that the manners Of the student class Of you
men underwent favorable change. The next disc{
very was of the eager desire which nigh, have bel
anticipated) Of more than half society for female n
siciaDs. Not only did wives and mothers desire Il
attendance Of qualified la6ies in their cases a
those Of their children, but husbands aud fatheI
sanctioned the natural preference. There are area
eight female physicians practising under diplon|
la Boston, some OF whom have large and lucrati{
practice. There were thirty-eight students in q
Female Medical College last year, and eight he /
already graduated from this young institution. II
Legislative grant OF 10000 dollars was bestowed d
condition OF an equal sum being raised from othI

entered upon p aciice, one can exhibit reg1

America) that childbirth is freed from is wot DIT,
ulties and dangers when the unnatural Dreseace

Of women and children will pass into the hands Il
which nature designed il. Nor, indeed IL this i'd
quite unknown in this country. For in the Univd
sites both Of Edinburg and Glasgow the Professol
are in the habit Of giving courses Of lectures
females on midwifery. AS necessary consequent
of this opening Of the curative profession TO womeI
project Is on foot for the establishment Of Pra,t
cal School OF Medicine in New York "A ,spttI
Tor women and children, where students may stud
and also nurses be trained. Ali ridicuIe Of Iad]
physicians has for some time ceased in the presen}
Of genuine learning. ability, and success; and theI
seems to be clear prospect Of fair divisd
Of the professional field. IL il not in the medcI
profession alone that women are finding scope II
their industry. The press Of the United Stat
employs women as regularly as the factory; ah
in youthful and initiative country, which copi(
with exaggeistlon the sentimentaii,ies of the OI
World, The chivairy Of man" Is at length permi

useful arts are now thrown open 70 all who ca
