WOMEN AS ARCHITECTS.
To women with tho requisite qualifications and artistic bent architecture should offer a fascinating and lucrative career. "Unlike that of many other professions, this new field for women is not overcrowded ; two years ago the qualified women architects in this country scarcely numbered a dozen, states a writer in an English exchange. iS'early all the universities grant diplomas in architecture and prepare students for the qualifying examinations of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
Training extends over five years, and fees to cover tho entire period of instruction vary from about £260 to £l5O for the full course.
The first three years of tho course are spent in the study of theoretical and practical architecture, drawing and design, estimating and town-planning, and during the remaining two years the student is required to put in her time in. tho offices of a qualified architect in order that she may gain a practical first-hand experience of professional routine and method and of indoor and outdoor work.
