posts are pensionable. The duties consist
partly of library work and partly of giving assistance in the general
intelligence work of the office.

The Right Hon. A.H. Dyke Acland said in his evidence before the Royal
Commission on the Civil Service that he did not see why at the Board
of Education the same sort of women who become good inspectors and
headmistresses should not take part in the administrative work of the
office.

_Scotch Education Department_

The first Woman Inspector was appointed by the Scotch Education
Department in 1902, and two others were appointed in 1910. Their scale
of salary is L200-15-L400. They are strictly specialist inspectors for
domestic economy subjects, cookery, laundry, etc., for which they have
qualifications including experience in teaching and inspecting such
subjects.

Specially qualified women are occasionally employed by the Department
to inspect girls' schools, and are paid a fee according to the time
occupied.

_National Education Board, Ireland_

Two Women Inspectors are employed by the Irish National Education
Board. Their salary is L150-10-L300, the same as that of Men Junior
Inspectors; Men Senior Inspectors receive L300-20-L700.

There are two Women Organisers, whose duty it is to organise weak
schools.

There are also 14 Organisers of Domestic Economy; their work is
similar to that of Inspectors; they travel about and have authority
in the schools; they do not inspect general subjects, but confine
themselves to cookery, laundry and domestic science.

There are also six Women Organisers of Kindergarten.

_The Board of Agriculture and Fisheries._

This Department has recently employed a few women upon various kinds
of scientific work. Three women are appointed as Assistant Naturalists
in the Fishery Branch, at a salary of L150 per annum, and two as
Junior Assistant Naturalists at L2 per week. They are appointed on
the nomination of the President, without examination, but they must
possess the necessary scientific qualifications and have taken a
recognised course of study. These posts are non-pensionable. The
Fishery Branch deals with questions relating to the natural history
and diseases of fish, fish-hatcheries and laboratories, the protection
of undersized fish, the effect of methods of capture, international
investigations, and grants in aid of fishery research. The women
are engaged upon the same work as men, except that they do not write
technical report
