Elementary education is obligatory, and is supported by the "National Society for Public Education" (_Nationalen Verein für Volksbildung_). The girls and women of the lower classes are engaged chiefly with domestic duties; in addition they work in the fields or work at excellent home industries. These home industries were developed as a means of livelihood by the efforts of Mrs. E. Subotisch, the organizer of the Servian woman's rights movement. The Servian women are rarely domestic servants (under Turkish rule they were not permitted to serve the enemy); most of the domestic servants are Hungarians and Austrians. All educational opportunities are open to the women of the middle class. In all of the more important cities there are public as well as private high schools for girls. The boys' _Gymnasiums_ admit girls. The university has been open to women for twenty-one years; women are enrolled in all departments; recently law has attracted many. For medical training the women, like the men, go to foreign countries (France, Switzerland). Servia has 1020 women teachers in the elementary schools (the salary being 720 to 2000 francs--$144 to $500--a year, with lodging); there are 65 women teachers in the secondary schools (the salary being 1500 to 3000 francs,--$300 to $600). To the present no woman has been appointed as a university professor. There are six women doctors, the first having entered the profession 30 years ago; there are two women dentists; but as yet there are no women druggists. There are no women lawyers. There is a woman engineer in the service of the government. In the liberal arts there are three well-known women artists, seven women authors, and ten women poets. There are many women engaged in commercial callings, as office clerks, cashiers, bookkeepers, and saleswomen. Women are also employed by banks and insurance companies. "A woman merchant is given extensive credit," is stated in the report of the secretary of the Federation. In the postal and telegraph service 108 women are employed (the salaries varying from 700 to 1260 francs,--$140 to $252). There are 127 women in the telephone service (the salaries varying from 360 to 960 francs,--$72 to $192). Servia is just establishing large factories; the number of women laborers is still small; 1604 are organized. Prostitution is officially regulated in Servia; its recruits are chiefly foreign women. Each vaudeville singer, barmaid, etc., is _ex officio_ placed under control.
