The Professional Voluntary Visitors are women professionally qualified as
Sanitary Inspectors, Midwives, or nurses, or holding certificates in hygiene,
nursing, etc., and intending to take up the calling professionally, and who give
their services for three or four months or more in return for the practical
experience gained, and a testimonial as to the manner in which they carried
out their duties.
The Philanthropic Voluntary Visitors are women in independent circumstances
who desire to employ part of their time in beneficial public work, and to obtain
an insight into public life and official work on the woman's side. Some few
philanthropic women have attended intermittently or for short periods, but the
professional women are those whose attendance has been regular, constant, and
assiduous, and the latter class it will be of interest to enumerate those who
