nstances hardly more than one or two would apply to a given department. They were based on the rules and regulations, however, by which awards were issued. The Department of ---- at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, in which you were a juror in group No. ----, contained ---- groups and ---- classes within the groups. Can you give an approximate estimate of the proportional number of exhibits by women contained in these classes? Please give the nature of the exhibits by women (or articles exhibited by them) in your department, group, and classes. Which, in your opinion, were the most striking exhibits by women in your department? What advancement did they show in the progress of women in any special industry, art, science, etc.? What proportion, or, approximately, what number, of exhibits were installed by foreign women? Was any display made that would lead you to think that women were now capable of executing unusual or more creditable work than they accomplished eleven years ago (at the time of the Chicago Exposition) or at any time in the past? In what way did their work (or exhibits) differ from their work (or exhibits) of the past? Would their work, as shown at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, where it was placed on equal terms of comparison with that of men, prove helpful or suggestive to those interested in the advancement and success of women's work? If so, how? Was the work of women as well appreciated when placed by the side of that of men? 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 an
