Careers for Educated Ladies.

THOUGH employments as school-mistresses, lady doctors, nurses, etc., are offered to qualified ladies in all countries and no public opposition is raised, the free competition of educated women in the civil service of the country is not supported. On the railways, in the post office and elsewhere typist women have been employed in England. In India social practices do not recognize the justice of similar employments for Indian ladies. Interestingly in Egypt feminism has made advance owing to the spread of education among women, and in addition to lady typists and précis writers who were freely employed in public offices hitherto, the Education Department has just appointed a lady clerk in its administration of salary of £E120 per annum. This departure is said to have caused considerable uneasiness as indicating the invasion by women of the civil service. Egypt boasts of lady barristers and  a few lady doctors. But a lady clerk is a new departure. As more educated ladies become available, larger numbers of them naturally seek various careers suited to their inclinations.
