' by h cenaua bureau. According to
the statistic there were I.Sno.Ono women
ngre4 In various employment. In 1A
an Increase of 31 per cent In the decade
from 1890 to 1900. In that period the total
number of women Increased only tX pet
cent. In other words, the number of
women .t work mcreajed halt ...m ..

In the country. Roufhly speaking, It may
be said that while In U90 one woman In
every six went to work. In 1900 the pro-
portion naa increasea io on. in every pm
Among the significant facta adduced from
' the statistics the writer cites th follow
' Ing: Out of the 306 gainful occupations
i enumerated by the census of the United
, States there are only eight In which women
' do not appear. In all the other 297 there
' are Accredited representatives of the com
ing sex In numbers ranging from two to
'00,000. ..
I The eight occupation! .In which women
do not Appear fall Into two olaases:
In the first of these classes the absence
of woman, la due to the tyranny of man.
There are no women eoldlers In the United
States army. There are no women sailor.
In the United States navy. There are no
woman marines In that navy. And there
are no women firemen In the' munlcljjkl fire-'
departments of American' cltlee. All this la
Imply because women hove been ruled out.
With different regulations there might be
different results. In Sweden there Is a fire
department In which women are frequently
enroned! And itoMtm drme bV women

the Napoleonic, wars has klway stood as a

spectacular and sufficient proof of feminine
',
In the remaining four of the eight
womantcsa occupations in this country the
absence of women cannot be so readily ex
plained ' away. It must be simply due to
feminine neglect that at the time of the
last census there were no women appren
tices and helpers to roofers and slaters,
no women helpers to brass workers; no
women helpers to steam boiler makers- and
no women street car drivers. The next
census will probably repair this defect.
There It no reason why women should not .
enter these four trade. Already they can'
be found In trades which are similar, but
more difficult. Already there are women
' roofers and slaters, women brasa workers,
and women steam boiler makers. It Is
bard to tee why they shouldn't be helpers
in these trades If they can be full-fledged
mechanics. And if, aa (a the case, there
were two women motormen in 1900, there
Is no reason why there should not be
women street car drivers In 1910 In cities
where horsea are still used for local trans
portation. Only four occupations, therefore, are to
day beyond the reach of women In the
United States. They cannot .be federal
oldlers, federal Bailors, federal marines
or municipal firemen. Everywhere else thny
have knocked and they have been ad
mitted. , ,,; .',
juat aDout 1,000,000 or America's 5.000,000
gainful women In 1900 were, engaged In

lults. Among these 1,000,000 womeh agrl-

In the professions women are accepted
more aa a matter o course than they are
In agricultural pursuits. And among all
the professions that of teaching Is the
most thoroughly femlnlted. It Is not eur-
pritlng, therefore, to learn that In the
United Statet In 1800 there were more than
325.000 teachers, It is docldedly turprlslng.

Servant Girl Problem
The problem of domestlo help has
reached an acute stage :hls tall In Greater
New York. Thla la not due to lack of
help, .but because women who work are
following the examples of the la wyert and
doctors and becoming specialised.
"A young matron whose household onn
sistt of her husband, herself and a little
girl, retted peacefully while away during
..........
me summer in tne Deuei that the. would
have little difficulty in finding a. woman
of all work, when she needed one Jn the
fall.
She set Inquiries on foot' on her return,
amcng her frlenda and their tervantt, III
the expectation that newt .would come
soon of the right tort a. woman. She
made It plain that theri were but three
in the family, that the washing and Ironing'
would ae tent out and that the highest
average of wagea would be paid.
The anawera began to come in. but they
were all of the tame tenor:
Did she wanf a cook?
Did ahe want a waitress?
Did she want a second maid?
Did aha want a nurse maldT
No, ahe wanted a woman who could ,
cook; could wait on the table; could take
the child out fof a walk In the afternoon.
