(4) It is a very noticeable fact that women are taking the place
of men in charitable institutions. This fact, however, is more
clearly demonstrated in the general educational exhibit. The
exhibits relating to dispensaries and nurses were mostly
prepared by women; in fact, they seem to have a monopoly on this
particular line of work.
A part of the anatomical and pathological exhibit was in charge
of Mrs. Eckley, anatomist, from the College of Physicians and
Surgeons, Chicago, Ill.
The number of women entering this field was shown to be steadily
on the increase, and the exhibit relating to medical schools
also showed a great increase in the number of students.
Nearly all of the reformatory schools for girls and prisons and
reformatories for women are under the charge of women, and a
great many of the State board of charities are practically under
their control.
Women are taking the place of men in the distribution of
charities in the larger cities, and Mrs. M.E. Holland, who
installed the exhibit on police supplies, and who is also the
editor of the Detective, was, at the same time, in charge of the
Chicago police exhi
