Where They Have Advanced

TN the years since then women have advanced far
l. toward the complete conquest of the teaching
profession, and hold positions principals,
city superintendent college presidents, and even
in one state superintendent of education. In
the public schools of cities they outnumber men
fifteen to one. Our business colleges now about
equally attended by young women and men. In
medical schools nearly fifteen hundred
women students, and this last commencement was
the occasion of the graduation of some hundred
each of women pharmacologists, dentists lawyers,
and Cergymen. Finally, within generation women
have created a new profession, and that of the
noblest and most useful. For this year some eight
thousand trained nurses will be graduated into a
truly professional life, and nne-tenths of them
will be women.
Let the reader put himself in the place of
the girl young of century ago. Rich
poor, in city country, she could expect no
education much beyond the three r S and few
accomplishments. She could hope to money
for herself only as an inferior, domestic
want or dressmaker She could look forward only
to dependence, to a savery-voluntary, happy,
and easy, perhaps but none the less a slavery
AS a wife She must take whatever husband
she could get, and take whatever he chose to give
Her happiness and welfare must be staked on the
throw of the die, marriage. She expected
to give all her thought and energy to housekeeping
Let the young woman of to-day imagine the last
eight years of her life spent very little reading
a little music little dancing, somewhat more en-
brodery, and great deal of sewing and housework

Should Do More Than Attract Men

WTOMEN should be more to the world than fit OBJ
Wv jects to attract men; for the reason that
should be than fit objects to attract women
No one need fear that women will cease to be auring
enough. If womanlness means the steadiness of
proper fruits of motherhood and if a life in the
world of affairs a life without marriage and
children, the objection would be sound but it must
not be taken for granted that opening the door
to professional and business life closes the door to
marriage.
Another frequent assertion is that women lower
the level of efficiency of any occupation which they
enter upon in large numbers, and reduce its wage.
What evidence there is at hand concerning the first
half of this assertion is dead against its truth. In
the case of teaching the entry of women has been
coincdent with a marked rise in the standard of
the profession, and where requirements highest
and professional training most demanded, there
are the most women. In the profession OF
which women have won almost complete control,
nursing the level of efficiency and the amount of
prerequisite training have been steadily advanced.
The facts about wages are hard to ascertain and
still harder to interpret. In the clearest case,
nursing, the competition of women has not brought
wages down. The mere fact that in a given occu-
patton women work for less than men need not mean
that the mems wages will drop. Nor will women
long do the same work for any less wage.
They soon will be able to choose from nearly all
equations, and will then be paid for their ser
vices regardless of sex. Nor need increase in
the supply of labor mean any fall IN wages. he

"HE nineteenth century century of
emancipation-of the governed by the
spread of the franchise and popular edu-
- cation; of the slave by proclamation; of
the worker by intelligent cooperation
and last but perhaps most important, of woman
by a peaceful revolution of opinion and practice
Women's rights" were, to be sure, latest to be
appreciated; women had to wait for the Negro, and
have not yet been given much as he received.
But their emancipation is now in full progress
and has reached in this country the satisfactory
stage where everyone takes it for granted that
a girl should be educated well her brother
should have a chance to earn her living in any pro-
fesson business trade in which she is COM
petent, and should be partner of equal right in
the marriage relation. This change has been liter
ally as sudden the diffusion of the franchise
the abolition of slavery.
Two generations ago provision was made for
the education of in than the rudi-
mentS; business life, apart from selling candy to
children and bonnets to young women, closed
to them; the professional woman unheard of and
undreamed of. Even single generation takes us
to time when almost in the
learned professions as they are in the United
States Senate. As late as I8So-twenty- tive years
ago-women filled only the subordinate positions
in teaching, were outnumbered eight to one in bust
ness colleges were allowed to study medicine in
only five six schools, and still practically
unknown as dentists lawyers, or ministers.

has in twenty years than doubled. In fact, if
the present rate of gain of women men should
keep up there would be in hundred years five
times as many women as men in college.
The higher education fitness for the learned
professions; and in rational world fitness means
employment. Women are capable of doing useful
and noble work in every profession, such work as
the world needs. The world will call upon women
for more and more of such work every year. What
is of the professions equally true of business
and industrial life. 1t is doubtful if at the end of
twenty years there will be a single occupation in
which women will not to some extent share.
There is nothing necessarily Objectionable in this
widening of the sphere of womans activity and in
crease in her freedom to make her
career. The objections which are commonly made
are based mere personal prejudice or on miscon-
ceptons of fact The most frequent is the assertion
that the womanliness feInininity of women suf-
fers from the contact with and absorption in the life
of business, industrial, professional work.
If this means that tinidty, deceit, dependence,
and inefficency discouraged in favor of energy,
frankness, and se1f-directon, it is true; but it
objection in the minds of those who persist in
thinking of mems pet animals. If
femininity means the so-ca1led female charm, the
subtle qualities which appeal to man, the
coquetry, mystery, and challenge of the
object of instructive pursuit, the charge again in
measure true; but once more this is no objection.

in fact, eight years of almost perpetual house
work; imagine her during the last four or five OF
those years to be expecting fifty years more of
homework. OF course such life need not be unin-
tellectual empty. One ones brains in
any walk of life But any gifted young woman of
to-day finds many things stimulating than
securing dishes, frying cakes, and mending clothes
1t is always risky to prophesy concerning human
affairs but there is every reason to believe that
the movement of women toward business and profess
sional life will increase and increase with exceeding
rapidity. The reason for believing in this rapid
increase in the immediate future is the rapid in
crease which we know has taken place in the irnme
date past. In the twenty years from 1880 to 1900
the number of women physicians doubled, the num-
Der of women Government employees trebled, the
number of women journalists and editors quadru-
pied, the number of women in business increased

Prophecy of Womens Future
IT is sober prophecy to make that long before
l. the high-school graduates of this year die they
will see twenty times as many women in medicine, in
the ministry, and in law there now that they
will throughout the country find women in the pull
pits, women editors women at the head of banks
women architects, women surgeons in the hos
pitfalls, and women engineers working on the Straits
of Panama or the tunnel under the Boring Sea.
Such prophecies may seem unlikely because
startling; but it would have startled an audience
fifty years ago fully as much if some one had then
said that he expected before he died to see over
ninety per cent of the teachers of New England
women, to see few women practising medicine
and law to see the trusted assistant of of the
worlds greatest fnanciers woman, to find women
as principals with men as their subordinates, to
find one woman in authority over thousands of men
teachers in State system, to find one hundred
thousand self-supporting women engaged in bust
ness in a single city.
The fact is that the education of women is steadily
increasing, and that educated women are bound to
fill the professions In the high schools girls have
steadily been gaining the boys until now six out
