"One of the most gratifying bits of
information revealed by this inquiry
is the increasing number of women
who are assuming academic careers.
Twenty-four teachers appear on the
staffs of 17 different colleges and uni-
versities in the United States. The
departmets they represent include
English, French Spanish, chemistry,
economics, sociology, history biology,
medicine, philosophy, mathematics ,
art and secretarial work. They are
also teachers on the faculties of our
conservatories and colleges of music.
"In the professions of law and med-
icine, the former has attracted the
greater number. Twenty-three cities
enumerated 40 physicians the larg-
est number in any single community,
namely five, being found in Baltimore
and San Francisco. It is to be pre-
sumed that these figures would be
greatly exceeded in New York City
and Chicago. The city of Philadel-
phia reports only four Jewish physi-
cians, one of whom is on the faculty
of a local medical college. In the last
of the three traditional professions,
namely the ministry, not a single wo-
man is to be found. In view of the
favorable action of the Central Con-
ference of American Rabbis, on the
question of admitting wrmen into the
Jewish ministry, it may be anticipated
that the liberal and progressive Jew-
ish seminaries of the United States
will, before long, remove the obstacles
that now stand in the way of woman's
ordination.
"The participation of the Jewish
woman in political and civic life is in-
dicated by the various offices they fill.
Some of them are elective and some
appointive and cover city, country,
state and federal offices. Five are
members of local boards of education;
three members of boards of charities
and corrections; and there is one each
in the following civic positions: Stern-
her of Labor Arbitration Board; Com-
missioner of Charities; Assistant City
Attorney; member of Minimum Wage
Board; member of Playground Corn-
mission; Justice of the Peace; and
Probation Officer. In county offices
are to be found an Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney and an Assis-
tant District Superintendent of
