THE LAW GRADUATES

no deviation, and are ripening into able ex
| perienced lawyers, and winning fair share o.
| clientage.
Some prefer Office practice, others court prac
| tice, and when they do enter the forum, they
| are cordially countenanced 10y their brother
| lawyers. As IL was only in 1870 that the first
| woman graduated in a law school, there has
not been time enough for woman TO develop
| into an Erskine, Burke, or Webster. But few
! men have done go, If history speaks correctly.
1t was through the efforts of DR.. Mary Hirsh-
| field that women were able to matriculate at
| the Dental Colleges.
No such opportunity has ever been offered
before for women to prove their fitness 10 prac-
tice dentistry. as reported ut the Columbian
| Congress.
They reported that there were $50 women
practicing dentistry, and gaining satisfactory
| livelihood from their efforts.
Philadelphia has two woman dentists who
| have gained fine practice. from which they
enjoy from five to eight thousand yearly.
Missouri has woman who is President of
one bank and Cashier of another, doing real,
practical work in both positions.
Into the third and broadcast avenue, that of
gainfu occupations, are forced multitudes of
women for Sef-support the field most un-
| friendly. From many sides these women hear
! that they are unwelcome. 1t is true, they have
no choice; they must be self.supportng.
| Woman cannot stand on her threshold staring
/ with helpless plteousnesS at the cold features
! of the world.
| She knows she cannot remain inside for the
occupations of the women of earlier days arc
not left to her. The change is
AN INEVITABLE RESULT
OF social fact. Advancement in industrial
progress has carried woman along: her place
in the industrial world is well established.
| Woman have stepped out of industrial subiec-
ton, and is in the present system an economic
facter.
The business card of rm whose members
are of the feminine sex causes no special COM
ment. No more is required of them than of
any other firm.
The lady drummer" is success; Ohio
claims one. Her salary is such that many
" man drummer" would be glad to be assured
OF. she is one of no mean ability, or she would
not enjoy her S., 900 year.
Insurance is another business that women
have engaged in with success and profit.
Teachers are advancing in positions as we'll
as salaries. 1t has not been long since it was
unusual for woman to hold the position of
Principal. Many are there now competent to
Fl ii that position, and are chosen in preference
to the male applicant.
Women fiji many positions, and their num-
bers are OH the increase. Their salaries are
keeping pace with those of man but it is
somewhat different with the wage-earners"
There has been no improvement in the re-
of them. though they take less risk in the fac
tories, and their surroundings have been some
what improved.
Many new and novel enterprises are being
conducted and made successful by women
Who says that woman has not the right, and
that it is not proper for her to enter any in
dustrial field, if she does well that which she
chooses? Is not the
BACHELOR WOMAN
toy or slave to the man decade ago? 1t is
not enough now to be man; he must be de-
serving one. with fair show of brains or the
modern girl can do very well without him.
Has not woman excelled the sangune hopes
of those who have made the progress OF women
a study? 1t is the few and not the many that
enter the industrial field, either from choice or
necessity.
The majority of women by the natural laws
Of heaven, must be wives and mothers, absorbed
in home cares. Those that are in the business
world are not deserters from their duties AS
the heads of the household realm.
When woman is thrown on her own resources
may she feel confident of SUCCESS because she
has been so reared and educated as to enter the
business world equally as well equipped as man.
She will fully sustain that which she has
struggled for and keep abreast of the times.

TO THE LOYAL HOME WORKERS.
At Pittsburg promised, as Chairman of tho
Committee on Rules and Regulations, to write |
an article on the changes at fifth annual Re- |
union.
Under the present system of organization
the individual memh ership rules. There is no |
House of Lords. and each member without re-
spect to location, be he ever so isolated, is en-
titled to the same representation, the same
voice and vote as every other member.
Each represents himself only. We are all |
equal. If you III good standing and are |
present at Reunion you are entitled to voice |
and vote-a simple democracy. The majority |
speaks and rules. IL is your organization and |
mine, and each and all of rs are but equal |
units that 90 to make up the whole.
The Rules and Regulations do not prohibit |
the continuance Of divisions If the members Of |
the State feel satisfied to continue them. but |
the division is not legel part of the Order
and is not under the jurisdiction of the Ma |
tional 1t is under its own management.
Each and every member is under the juris-
diction of the Loyal Home Workers, and pays |
dues direct to Secretary Hargrove. Thus Di- |
vision reports and entanglements are done |
away with. We have a simple National Order. |
Now let us all go to work, build up such |
strong org anizatien that we shall not acknowl- |
edge peer Stand together Let everyone
hustle, and we will have a mem bership away
up la the thousands at the end of the year.
