FEMALE CLERKS.

Z The prejudice which has from time
immemorial been entertained against
women asserting their independence
and aspiring BY honest work to gain q
livelihood, is rapidly giving way before
the light of actual experiment. II has
been demonstrated in the United States
that for many places women are batter
adapted than men, but it rests with
England to prove their superiority In
clerk-work. There the experiment was
tried several years ago, and with so great
o degree Of success that its develop
ment has been very rapid, but then il
was greatly facilitated by the Govern
ment employing in four OF the depart
ments of the Post Office, lady clerks.
These branches are the Telegraphic De.
partment, the Receiver and Accountant
Generals Office, the Returned Letter
Office, and the Savings Bank Depart
ment.
In the Telegraph Department no less
than seven hundred ladies are employed
at one station Central Station) alone.
The large majority Of those employed at
this station operate the telegraph h-very
few being actually clerks, that is, en-
ployed in writing. In the Receiver and
Accountant Generals Office, from forty
five to sixty lady clerks are employed.
d Commission was appointed to exam.
inc into the workings Of these two de-
partments under lady clerks, and 1t re-
ported that each lady can get through
aslmuch work as male clerk, and equal
ly WELL" In the Returned Letter De.
partment forty ladies are employed.
The employing of lady.clerks in the
Savings Bank Department only dates
back to 1873 but SO far the expert
ment is satisfactory.
In the private establishments ID In
gland large numbers Of lady-cleRks are
employed. In one, the Prudential Life
Assurance Company, between sixty and
seventy female clerks are given employ
ment upon purely clerical work. Fe-
male clerks are also being employed in
law-copying by lawyers. And we learn
from trustworthy source that in o
large number of branches where much
writing is had, lady-clerks are given en-
ployment in preference TO gentlemen,
In our country although we have mot
advanced to that stage where the en-
ploying Of female clerks to perform
