A WONDERFUL INCREASE.
What the Record Shows Concerning Wom-
en- In "Life's Activities"

lone Of the most interesting branches
Of my work. said q prominent Cfticer Of
the American SCcl0lCg.cal society, lis
keeping a record of womcn's industries.
I began it il 1868, when it was a mere
infant. Today it has grown so great
that it Is almost too vast a subject for
one person to handle.
Take, for example, the single branch
Of the professions. In 1865 we estimat-
ed that there were so, 600 women en-
gagged in tn" various c~allings under that
head, of whom lnoro than nlne-tcnths
were teachers. Today there are 400, 600
and upward, a growth Of over 500 per
cent in less than 80 years. In 1868 there
were about $50, 900 male professionals,
SO that the ratio VIZ a little less than
a third. To-day, despite the enormous
growth Of the country, it is about a
half.
More important still, the rate Of in
crease Cd the wuinan's side is about ~
per cent per annum, and on the mans
side about g.. If the past ratio remains
unchanged, III the year 1909 there will
be 1850, 600 professional women and
1880, coo professional men. But the
ratio itself is changing i'll wOman's IA
vor, and at the present rate of change
1909. only ten years hence, will see the
two sexes numerically equal in the pro-
LESSONS.
In 1865 there were no women archl-

1000, as many if not more than there
are Of men. Women physicians in p

clergvmen from 90 to 1900, authors
and newspaper women from $50 to TO-,
900, musicians. composers and instru,
mentalists. vocalists and music teachers
from 5000 to 80, coo.
