(9) Yes; the work of women was as well appreciated when placed
    by the side of that of men as when separately exhibited.

(10) The results would not have been better if separately exhibited.  Exhibits must be scientifically classified in order to be appreciated by the general visitor.  If the exhibits prepared by women had been separated, it would have left a great gap in the scientific arrangement required in a collective exhibit, as in group 139.  The exhibits in this line prepared by women would not and could not have covered the subject completely.

    (11) See answer to No. 7.

    There were no manufacturers in group No. 139 except
    manufacturers of prison cells, and no women are employed in such
    factories.

Thirty per cent of the work of organizing, collecting, and installing exhibits in group 139 was performed by women, and about 40 per cent of the actual work was prepared under the direction of women, such as teachers in reformatory institutions, etc.

    All women preparing and organizing exhibits in this group
    received awards.  The exact proportion can not be determined
    until the jury make their final report.

Naturally, there were no inventions by women in this group, but the exhibits made, or nearly all of them, were improvements on such work at former expositions, and a great deal of originality was displayed presenting scientific material and installment of exhibits.

The artistic genius and method of displaying scientific material made this group very interesting to the general public, and the subjects could be comprehended with but little effort by the passing visitor.  At former expositions such subjects received little attention and were of no interest except to scientific investigators.

This exhibit as a whole showed that women have taken possession of several lines of work such as teaching and nursing, and that men have been practically forced out of these occupations.  It also showed that they are entering many new fields, such as the medical profession and even becoming detectives, which demonstrates the fact that they are not inferior to men, but are more specially adapted to certain lines of work.

Group 141, Mrs. E.P.  Turner, Dallas, Tex., Juror.

Owing to illness, Mrs. Turner served but two days on this jury, and was succeeded by Mrs. Conde Hamlin, who had been named by the board of lady managers as Mrs. Turner’s alternate.

Under the group heading “Municipal government,” the five classes into which it was divided represented:  City organization.  Protection of life and property.  Public-service industries.  Streets and sewers.  Parks, baths, recreation, city beautification, etc.

Mrs. Hamlin became secretary of this jury, and reports as follows:
