of
278 clerks, of whom 21 are in the first class.

The _Accountants Offices_ are the only ones in Edinburgh and Dublin
which employ women as Clerks. In Dublin there is 1 Superintendent at
L210-10-L250 and 2 Assistant Superintendents at L150-10-L170. Of
the staff of 61 clerks, 7 are first class. In Edinburgh there is 1
Superintendent at L200-10-L250, and 1 Assistant Superintendent at
L150-10-L190. Of the staff of 69, 8 are in the first class.

In consequence of the employment of so large a number of women, the
General Post Office found it necessary many years ago to employ a
Woman Medical Officer. The present holder of this office receives
a salary of L350-20-L500. She has the help of two Assistants, whose
salary is L180-15-L300.

A few posts which may properly be deemed "higher" are also open to
Women Counter Clerks and Telegraphists. In the London Postal District
there are 3 Supervisors at L180-10-L250, 50 Assistant Supervisors
(first class) at L140-6-L170 and 61 Assistant Supervisors (second
class) at L115-5-L130.

In the _Central Telegraph Office_ the Chief Supervisor of Women
Telegraphists receives a salary of L180-10-L300 (not a large salary
for supervising a staff numbering nearly 1,000), the 13 Supervisors
receive L180-10-L250, and the 35 Assistant Supervisors L140-6-L170.

The _Postal District and Telegraph Offices_ in Dublin and Edinburgh
have each one Woman Supervisor of Counter and Telegraph Clerks at
L140-6-L875. In Dublin there are 12 and in Edinburgh 6 Assistants at
L110-5-L135. There are also a number of Supervisors in the provinces
whose rates of pay vary from L149-6-L175 to L115-5-L135, according to
the size of the district.

The _Telephone Service_ also offers a few important posts to women.
In the London Telephone Service a Woman Superintendent is appointed
at L200-10-L300, 9 Supervisors at L159-6-L190, and 40 Assistant
Supervisors at L110-5-L145. There are about 3,600 Women Telephonists
employed within the London postal area. The salaries of Supervisors in
the provinces vary from L125-5-L150 to L105-5-L120, according to the
size of the district.

The variety of work, which is now efficiently performed by women in
the various departments above enumerated, seems to prove conclusively
that when other branches are opened to them they will be equally
successful.

Civil Service on behalf of various women's organisations, the re
