h, of course, this was not indicated
in the Krupp exhibit.

Of the five grand prix which were given for general achievements
disconnected with exhibits, only one was awarded to a woman,
that to Miss Octavia Hill, although a silver medal was also
awarded to Frau Rossbach, of Leipzig, Germany. Two gold medals
were given to American enterprises in model housing which were
carried on almost exclusively by women--one to the Boston
Cooperative Society, which was founded and largely directed by
Mrs. Alice Lincoln, and one to the Octavia Hill Association, of
Philadelphia.

On the whole, the special work of women in connection with
housing showed most satisfactory results in "rent collecting,"
which has become a dignified profession for many English ladies
who conscientiously use it as a means of moral and educational
uplift to those most in need of sustained and continuous help.
Improvements in housing conditions are so closely connected with
the rate of mortality among little children, with the chances
for decency and right living among young girls, with the higher
standards and opportunities for housewives, that it has
naturally attracted the help of women from the beginning of the
crowded tenement conditions which unhappily prevail in every
modern city.
