Would the results have been better if their work had been
    separately exhibited?

    If you have attended previous expositions, please compare the
    exhibits of the work of women shown in them with those shown at
    the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.

    Were any manufacturers asked (to your knowledge) to state the
    percentage of woman’s work which entered into the manufacture of
    their special exhibits?

    Were they shown in such manner as to indicate in any way, or to
    enable you to distinguish, which part had been performed by
    women, which by men?

    In your opinion, what proportion of the work was performed by
    women, as compared with that performed by men, in the groups and
    classes that came under your supervision?

    What proportion of women received awards in your group or
    classes?

    Was any new or useful or distinctive invention or process shown
    as the work of woman, or special work of their art or handicraft
    exhibited in your department; if so, please specify.

    What can you say of the skill and ingenuity displayed in the
    invention, construction, or application?

    Were any of the exhibits of women developments of original
    inventions, or an improvement on the work of some prior
    inventor?

    What was the value of the product, process, machine, or device,
    as measured by its usefulness or beneficient influence on
    mankind, in its physical, mental, moral, or educational aspects?

    What of the merits of the installation as to the ingenuity and
    taste displayed, and its value as an exposition attraction?

Did any new avenues of employment appear to be opened for women, as shown by their exhibits at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, in the arts, sciences, industries, etc.; if so, to what extent; what is their value?

    In which of these will their work be of the most distinct value
    by reason of the natural adaptability, sensitive or artistic
    temperaments, and individual tastes of women?

In your opinion, what education will best enable women to enjoy the wider opportunities awaiting them and make their work of the greatest worth, not only to themselves but to the world, as evidenced by their work at the exposition.

REMARKS.—­Give any information or make any statement you may think of interest in regard to the part taken by women as shown by their work or exhibits at the exposition, and the beneficial results to be derived by women in general by reason of their representation at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
