Public Posts for Women.

It has been discovered by interested investigators that no less than 100 posts other than that of teaching (the once universal profession for educated women) arfe open to women to-day—a number somewhat staggering when the struggles of pioneers are taken into account. In public health work alone—that comparatively recent conquest—remarkable strides have been made, for women may now be factory inspectors, inspectors ot prisons and reformatories (there is now one lady inspector of prisons), probation officers (there are several already in the country), inspectors of maternity wards, relieving officers (at present only assist antships are open to women), inspectors of midwives, inspectors under the infant Life Protection Act, inspectors under Shops Regulations Acts, organisers ot children’s care (school) committees, sanitary inspectors, health visitors (still under discussion by the Local Govern merit Board), and managers of mum cipul milk depots.
