PROGRESSIVE SOUTHERN Won
EN.-In every proper field of enter
prise Southern women are making
fine Roadway. Their achievements
in literature. journalism and educa-
tional specialties are too we'll known
to require mention. A North Car
Gilman lady in New York has 100
type writer operatives under her.
She supplies business houses with
type writing clerks and enjoys
handsome income. A South Caro-
lima girl at the Cooper Institute
took the first money prize for en-
craving; another took the first prize
for drawing from life.
Another Southern girl received
the first certificate in drawing last
session. A South Carolina lady
has made over fifty inventions,
many of which she has patented.
They range from fire escapes to
cooking stoves. These few instan-
,.es show that Southern women are
keeping pace with the progress of
the age. They do not propose to
remain Idle when million pro-
hlems appeal to them for solution.
