her services
are found to be worth.

If, on the other hand, she enters the public service she may
admittedly qualify herself in every way by attainments and experience
in the lower ranks for one of the higher administrative posts and be
barred simply by sex disqualification. This also will no doubt in time
improve, and the pioneer work that it implies may attract many, but
the progress is necessarily slower.

(See efforts being made by women themselves to obviate this by the
starting of women's hospitals, p. 149.)

Finally, then, the medical profession should attract women of good
average capacity and general education, good health and certain, even
if moderate, means. Above all do they need public spirit, which will
make them anxious to maintain and improve the excellent position
medical women have so far obtained. It is a very widely interesting
life, bringing those who adopt it out of the study into direct touch
with human affairs.

[Footnote 2: Quite recently the outline of a new scheme was put
before a meeting at the Women's Medical School in London by the
Director-General of the Indian Medical Service. Under this scheme the
Women's Medical Service in India would not be upon the same footing
as the Indian Medical Service (I.M.S.) for men, but would remain as
at present, a Dufferin Association. It would, however, receive a
Government grant of L10,000 yearly, and proper arrangements would be
made for pay, furlough, promotion, and security of tenure. The scheme
is open to criticism on some points, but, as a whole, it marks a
considerable advance on the previous conditions of service in this
department of women's work, and may be welcomed as a genuine if
somewhat belated attempt on the part of the Government to deal fairly
with an urgent question.]

DENTAL SURGERY

It is not sufficiently well-known that dental surgery as a profession,
opens up a practically unexplored and lucrative work for women.

The training in the British Isles can be carried out in London,
Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Dublin, each of these cities granting their
Licentiate of Dental Surgery. In London, the National Dental Hospital,
and the London School of Medicine for Women (Royal Free Hospital) have
special facilities for women students, including special bursaries
and scholar
